    Riku is Sora's BFF/Rival in the original Kingdom Hearts, and said relationship is one of the main forces in the series. In the early game, before the plot ensues, the inexperienced Sora can practice fighting Riku with their toy swords. Riku gives more XP than other opponents, but is also agile and evasive enough to clobber unsuspecting newcomers. This gives the game a chance to beat you up and clearly show you how you couldn't just rush into fights.

    Much later, in the middle of his "Turn to the Dark Side" phase, you fight him alongside new friends, you get to see how he's evolved in power, but your friendship trumps that. Soon afterwards, you have a duel against him while he's fully powered by Darkness. This duel is one of the game's toughest fights, combining Riku's speed and strength with nasty shadow and dark-themed attacks. This fight once again shows how much you still have to develop as a player while making this mysterious Darkness thing look menacing.

    @Pape Badiane It's a little tricky assigning roles to Riku since he's had so many. I made him a protagonist in KH3D, CoM, and Re:CoM since you spend half those games playing as him, but at the end of the day, he's still only the second most important character (I guess that makes him a deuteragonist, but that's not an option). So should he remain a protagonist in those games, or should he be a playable sidekick?

    @Pape Badiane The KH franchise has a manga adaptation so I guess that makes all KH characters manga characters as well, yes.

      Editing … @Pape Badiane Not a TV show, just a comic/manga. But it says "Anime/Manga" so I assumed Japanese comics characters would have to be added to the Anime/Manga category. Should he be listed as a Comics Character then?
