What ethnicity are Riku and Sora?

[Darkness of White]

you sound mad
its just for fun realy
thats all

 

[MDSora]

I guess it is true that their nationality isn't really that big of a deal..its more of an interesting fact to know. but like Monkey flute said, their names are in japanese...maybe it means they are?

 

[Darkness of White]

wellllllllll
sora does mean duck in japanese so maybe

 

[MDSora]

I thought that it meant sky ....hee hee...sora da duck...

But really if you do look up close at them during the cut scenes they really do look asain...especially with Riku.

Sora though it could be speculated that he is a mix or something.

We could always look at their parents...but alas we never do get to meet them. and who is to say that the parents they live with are their real parents?

I thought it was kinda weird that sora and riku were gone for a while...and they never seemed to even mention their parents after their return to the islands....i suppose after saving the worlds from total destruction lol they don't need parents

 

[KershaFangs]

Sora means Sky...

There's just probably a species of duck named Sora as well for the japanese term meaning sky.

Oh God end the thread we answered the thread. (not being a ass)
bowchickawowwow

 

[MDSora]

Very true. The answer is anyones guess. I supposed only tesuya can answer us properly.

Hey MD, In KH1 When Sora came to the Island because of the storm, he finds Riku in the island. Riku mentions about not able to meet their parents again, got it memorized?:3

 

[SoraKHLuver]

the hair looks japanese
the face looks kinda japanese but more american
th way their body and movement is is japanese
so i thnk their japanese but 10% american!!!!!!!

 

[Eternamente926]

Sora and Riku are racially adrogynous (giggle at the terminology! =p) ... meaning, to American audiences they look Japanese (the country which the design of the game originated from), but even to Japanese audiences they might look American or otherwise. In-game, they'd probably be classified as Islander or some such.

 

[Annoyance]

Japanese.
Japanese names, etc.

and are you guys saying they don't look Japanese because of the hair?
Uh...dude. People bleach their hair all the time. Plus there's mixtures of European and Asian all the time.
Brown hair, red hair. It can happen. Not all Japanese people have just brown eyes and black hair.

 

[waterclone]

they matbe japanese or cocasian or maybe a mixed race

 

[Valkia]

maybe they are of japanese american decent like mixed blood.....but who knows and how does this deal with the storyline
