Wasabi is a character from San Fransokyo in Kingdom Hearts III. He originated in the Disney film Big Hero 6.

He is a member of Big Hero 6, alongside Hiro Hamada, Baymax, Go Go Tomago, Honey Lemon, and Fred.

Story

Kingdom Hearts III

Hiro introduces Big Hero 6 to Sora, Donald and Goofy in Hiro's garage.

In the city, Sora's Double Arrowguns Formchange inspires Wasabi to turn his laser hands into projectiles. He is later seen using this while fighting the Heartless.

Design

Wasabi is a dark-skinned man with brown hair in dreadlocks and brown eyes. While fighting alongside Big Hero 6, he wears green chest armor and pauldrons with blue pants, a red headband and belt, and a green visor with a black bodysuit with red highlights underneath. Wasabi's gauntlets are equipped with twin cyan plasma blades, which he normally uses for melee combat; after observing Sora's fighting style, he modifies his suit so that he can fire the blades as projectiles.

Personality

Wasabi is rather mature and somewhat serious. Like Go Go, he is also mission-oriented, focusing on planning things out. However, Wasabi is also known for being somewhat cowardly, evident from his fear of heights.

Origin

Wasabi first appeared in the 2014 Disney animated film Big Hero 6, and subsequently, Big Hero 6: The Series. He is inspired by Wasabi-No-Ginger from Marvel Comics. In the film, Wasabi is an engineering student of San Fransokyo Institution of Technology and a friend of Hiro's brother Tadashi. He helps Hiro in designing the microbots, but when Tadashi dies in a fire, Hiro rallies Wasabi and Tadashi's other friends in stopping the person responsible.

In the film, he was voiced by Damon Wayans Jr.. To date, this is the only appearance of Wasabi in which he was voiced by Wayans; in all subsequent appearances, he has been voiced by Khary Payton.
