| '''Wakka''' is a minor character in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series, originally from ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]''. Wakka is fifteen years old at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''.

| | And now I'm gonna be okay |
| 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.
| | Yeah! It's a party in the USA! |
| | Yeah! It's a party in the USA! |
|

|
| 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.
| | Get to the club in my taxi cab |
| | Everybody's lookin' at me now |
| | Like "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks |
| | She's gotta be from out of town" |
|
| |
|
| 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 the exact same weapon as his original incarnation.
| | So hard with my girls not around me |
| | It's definitely not a Nashville party |
| | 'Cause all I see are stilettos |
| | I guess I never got the memo |
|
| |
|
| After Destiny Islands is destroyed, it is unknown what happened to him.
| | My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick |
| | Too much pressure and I'm nervous |
| | That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune |

| ===''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''===
| | And the Britney song was on |
| A memory-based version of Wakka appears in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'' inside the Destiny Islands simulation in [[Castle Oblivion]]. In the ending credits of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', the real Wakka is shown playing with Selphie and Tidus on a beach while Kairi is facing the Small Island.

| ===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
| | So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song |
| 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'')

|
| ===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===
| | Got my hands up, they're playin' my song |
| Wakka makes his third appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', this time as a data version of himself, appearing on the data version of Destiny Islands, alongside Tidus and Selphie. He appears on Destiny Islands talking to Sora.

|
| ==Appearance==
| | Feel like hoppin' on a flight, on a flight |
| 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.
| | Back to my hometown tonight, town tonight |
| | Something stops me every time, every time |
| | The DJ plays my song and I feel alright |

| | The butterflies fly away |
| {{main|Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka (Bosses)}}
| | I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!" |
| Like in ''Final Fantasy X'', Wakka fights by throwing his Blitzball.
| | Movin' my hips like "Yeah!" |
|
| |
|
| On Destiny Islands, he practices fighting skills with Sora as a way for the player to improve his level. 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.
| | Got my hands up, they're playin' my song |
| | And now I'm gonna be okay |
| | Yeah! It's a party in the USA! |
| | Yeah! It's a party in the USA! |
|
| |
|
| 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 based off one of his [[finalfantasy:Overdrive (Final Fantasy X)|Overdrives]], Status Reels.
| | So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song |

|
| ==Origin==
| | Got my hands up, they're playin' my song |
| In ''Final Fantasy X'', Wakka is a major character and a twenty-three year old professional blitzball player. His name means "water" in Ainu, a near-extinct Japanese dialect. In addition to being one of [[Gullwings|Yuna's]] guardians and childhood friends, he is captain of the Besaid Aurochs, a blitzball team that, as of the beginning of ''Final Fantasy X'', went twenty-three years without winning a single game. He uses blitzballs as his weapons in battle, making him the only character who can reliably hit flying enemies, as well as making him and Lulu the only characters who can attack physically at range.
| | And now I'm gonna be okay |
| | | Yeah! It's a party in the USA! |
| Wakka seems somewhat socially conservative, dependent on others and on the rules (such as Yevon's teachings) for his decisions. He lost his younger brother Chappu to Sin, an event he never fully recovered from. He forms a close brotherly relationship with [[Tidus]], partially fueled by his resemblance to Chappu, though Lulu constantly has to remind him that Tidus isn't Chappu. Nevertheless, Wakka gives Tidus his signature weapon which he previously gave Chappu.
| | Yeah! It's a party in the USA! |
| | |
| Six months after the events of ''Final Fantasy X'', he marries Lulu. In ''Final Fantasy X-2'', he becomes a father to her baby, Vidina, a name thought up by Wakka. "Vidina" translates as "future" in the Al Bhed language, and is Wakka's declaration that he has let go of Yevon's teachings, which were biased against Al Bhed, and even part Al Bhed such as Yuna.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Originally, Wakka was not intended to be in ''Kingdom Hearts''; his role was supposed to be filled by [[w:c:finalfantasy:Irvine Kinneas|Irvine Kinneas]] from ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VIII|Final Fantasy VIII]]''.{{fact}}
