Wakka is a resident of the [[Destiny Islands]] and a friend of [[Sora]], [[Kairi]], and [[Riku]]. He spends a lot of time with [[Tidus]] and [[Selphie]], and treats them just as a big brother would. He and Tidus expressed their curiosity over the Secret Place, and were thinking of exploring it.

Like Selphie and Tidus, Wakka appears in Sora's Dive to the Heart on the Destiny Islands area. His question, "What do you want outta life?" also helps determine the leveling pace throughout the rest of the game. Sora can answer with either A) to see rare sights, B) to broaden my horizons, or C) to be strong.

Sora can answer with either A) to see rare sights, B) to broaden my horizons, or C) to be strong. Later, he can be fought while on Destiny Islands; if he, Tidus, and Selphie are all defeated, Sora can duel all three of them at once.


He can be fought while on Destiny Islands. He uses his Blitzball to attack as he did in ''Final Fantasy X'' (thus requiring the player to deflect Wakka's Blitzball back at him), but this one lacking the bumps and Spiran script for the word "Blitzball" of the original Blitzball. Nevertheless, this makes him, out of all the Destiny Islands and Twilight Town ''Final Fantasy'' characters, the only one to use exactly the same weapon as his original incarnation.
It is unknown what happens to him after Destiny Islands is destroyed, though he reappears when the worlds are restored after Sora defeats [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]].

Wakka makes no appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', just as Tidus doesn't. The two are only briefly mentioned by Selphie when she is talking to Kairi early on in the game, described as being "wrapped up in their ball game" (a reference to [[finalfantasy:Blitzball|Blitzball]] from ''Final Fantasy X'').

==Appearance==
==Appearance==
Wakka in ''Kingdom Hearts'' resembles his ''Final Fantasy X'' incarnation, but is younger and sports a simpler outfit. Wakka retains his orange hair and enormous coif, as well as his baggy yellow pants that close up halfway down his lower legs. Each leg of these pants has a large, grey, "X"-shaped strap with blue tips, possibly referencing Wakka's game of origin. In ''Final Fantasy X'', these "X"s were located on Wakka's jacket, while his pant legs sported three straps on each leg shaped like thinner "X"s. Wakka wears a tank top resembling his original jacket, though the jacket was mostly orange and black, as opposed to this tank top's pale yellow color with black lining. Like in his original game, he wears sandals, though this Wakka's sandals are green. He wears blue wristbands on each wrist, has brown eyes, and has small stud earrings not present in his original design. Wakka lacks the fish necklace he wore in ''Final Fantasy X'', and wields a simpler version of his Blitzball as a weapon.
Wakka is one of the tallest children on Destiny Islands and has a strong build. His skin is tan, his eyes are brown, and his orange hair is spiked with an enormous coif. He wears a pale yellow tank top with black lining and white laces, tipped with green and yellow beads, and baggy yellow pants that close up halfway down his lower legs, each leg featuring a large, grey "X"-shaped strap with blue tips. He also wears green sandals, blue wristbands on each wrist, and small stud earrings. He often carries a white and blue ball, which he uses as a practice weapon.

Like in ''Final Fantasy X'', Wakka fights by throwing his Blitzball.
On Destiny Islands, he practices fighting skills with Sora, using his ball as a thrown weapon. During this battle, if Sora can manage to block one of Wakka's attacks via hitting the ball back at him, it earns him one tech point. If Wakka jumps in the air and throws the ball at Sora and Sora successfully blocks it he gets two tech points. After defeating Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka as individuals, Sora is able to fight against them all at the same time.

Like Selphie and Tidus, Wakka's battle stance and basic attack are based off his ''Final Fantasy X'' appearance. Also, his attack where he yells "Take this!" is similar in appearance to one of his [[finalfantasy:Overdrive (Final Fantasy X)|Overdrives]], Status Reels.

*Wakka's character model is reused and with a new palette for a minor character. This character can only be seen in Agrabah after you have cleared the story as one of the many non-playable characters managing the shops, but doesn't reappear again in subsequent visits as the Heartless reappear once the player leaves and comes back.
