Names Known of the Knights Confirmed!
TheWertle is currently translating an interview found in the Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+ Ultimania:
The full translation will come soon, but it has been confirmed that the names of the three Knights in the secret ending are related to elements just like Sora, Kairi, and Riku are, and that two of the knights are indeed Aqua and Ven. Update: We now know the name of the Enigmatic Soldier is Terra thanks to another interview with Nomura! Click the images to enlarge them:
Nomura has also hinted that Ven and Roxas may be related in some way!
Kairi (similar to Umi) means Sea - Aqua means Water
![]()
Riku means Land - Terra means Earth
![]()
This is the Enigmatic Soldier for those who don’t know already.

Jayme, might you be thinking about when Xehanort got rid of Ansem the Wise? That’s the closest thing I can think of…
Kai, what language does ‘Roxas’ mean ‘Huge War’? And while we’re on it, what language does ‘Ven’ translate to ‘monk’? I’m pretty sure it’s not Japanese in either case. And ‘Kai’ means ‘Sea’ (the onyomi of the kanji for ‘ocean’ is ‘kai’, and the kunyomi is ‘umi’), not land.
Ven - Wind (Latin)
Sora - Sky (Japanese)
Roxas - Sora + X (English)
Aqua - Water (Latin)
Kai (Kairi) - Sea (Japanese)
Nami (Naminé) - Wave (Japanese)
E.S. - Land (Latin?)
Riku - Land/Shore (Japanese)

o yea i guess you are right shakespeare
o well it was a guess

It’s OK Jayme…people still correct me when I refer to Xehanort’s Heartless as ‘KH1!Ansem’, as if I didn’t know that the Ansem of KH1 is different than the REAL Ansem of KH2. (I still call him Ansem because it’s shorter, and everyone still knows who I’m talking about.)
on 11 May 2007 at 6:09 am 58. Riku
Roxas doesn’t mean “Huge War” simply because it’s a rearrangement of Sora with an X. That was the point of it.
There’s an outside chance it means something, but I don’t think it does.
on 11 May 2007 at 1:24 pm 59. Sephiroth
Yeah, I checked my online resources, and there was nothing even remotely close to ‘Rokusasu’ that meant ‘war’. (’Roku’ means six, anyway.)
Oh well, yesterday I had someone tell me that he had a pre-release version of KH3. I told him that it must not be very fun to play, since development hasn’t even started yet.

The last guys name with the ??? is named Ais. He’s Saixs’ somebody.
on 11 May 2007 at 2:24 pm 61. vinan123
It would make since for that guy to be Saix’s somebody. They have the same hairstyle, and when ??? sees Kingdom Hearts, his eyes turn the same color as Saix’s.
on 11 May 2007 at 2:43 pm 62. Shakespeare
Pay no attention to the fact that Shakespeare is very tired and put her name as ‘Sephiroth’ in her last post…>.>
on 11 May 2007 at 2:45 pm 63. Shakespeare
They DO look similar, but since you can fight the E.S. in KH2:FM+, it doesn’t make sense for him to also be Saix, since his Nobody is running around in the game. It’s the same issue with it being Xehanort; Saix can’t be in two places at once.
Also, ‘Ais’ isn’t Latin for ‘earth’. It’s not Latin for anything, according to the Notre Dame online dictionary…
on 11 May 2007 at 3:00 pm 64. vinan123
It actually does make sense for both of them to be in two places at once. Remember, Xemnas and Xehanort’s Heartless were both alive at the same time. Oh wait, Xemnas is a Nobody. Never mind…
on 11 May 2007 at 5:18 pm 65. Riku
??? would also be a COMPLETELY NEW CHARACTER as Nomura has stated many a time already (before Final Mix+) - Ais, although not shown in the games, isn’t a completely new character, as his name is mentioned, which means it’s not him or any other previous human forms we could know of.
on 11 May 2007 at 8:03 pm 66. Tami
it’s funny cause aqua and ven are latin. Lea can mean earth in latin (just like Riku is to earth). Doesn’t lea makes one wonder about Axel’s somebody?
on 11 May 2007 at 8:26 pm 67. eric
i tpught it was saix too but since when he is a good guy? he is just a not principal personage, he is only a boss he dont have a history like the others bnobodies of org 13 so mayBE M-A-B-Y-E THey are somebodies of some of the nobodies from org
did u guyz tought bout that?
on 11 May 2007 at 8:50 pm 68. dodo_woa
hey is there maybe a possible way that ven and roxas are twins, i mean it could kind of explain why they look alike, and they were both sent to different palces when they were born out of sora heart one a chaser, one a special nobody, hey and what do you guys mean by somebody????
on 11 May 2007 at 9:10 pm 69. Riku
Somebody as in the original human being (or other form) before becoming Heartless and Nobody.
on 11 May 2007 at 9:20 pm 70. vinan123
eric, I don’t think that these are the Somebodies of some of the Nobodies of Organization 13, because if that was the case, Aqua’s Nobody would be Larxene. That doesn’t really make sense because, Aqua means water, and Larxene controls electricity.

Where did we all come up with the name Ais? If the Enigmatic Soldier isn’t Xehanort, but looks exactly like him, I sure as hell wanna know who it is. This was the same mystery surrounding Ven when the Secret Movie came out. We all thought it was Roxas, but we were proved wrong regardless of the fact that Roxas looked exactly like Ven. This is the same case with Xehanort. The Enigmatic Soldier looks like him, but it isn’t him. So, if it isn’t Xehanort, then who is he, and for that matter, who was the Armored Knight that challenged Sora? It’s gotta be Xehanort. The Dark Keyblade Warrior, the loss of Xehanort’s memories during The Keyblade War, and the fact that he looks like the Enigmatic Soldier. How could it not be him? Xehanort can’t lose memories in a Keyblade War he was never in. Unless The guy I first thought was Xehanort in The Old Man. But I have a feeling that he’e connected to Ansem the Wise. Eye Color, and Ansem The Wise almost gave into Darkness to seek revenge against Xehanort. The Dark Soldier is still an enigma. We can probably come up with theories on how he came to be, but as to who it actually is, still remains a mystery to me. Then Aqua, who was Resuurected/Reincarnated into Kairi. Kairi is a princess after all, so that little fact may come into attention sooner, or later. More than just why she didn’t have a heartless. Then, I already concluded my theory on King Mickey. Before he was King, he was trained under Yensid, who prepared to fight a great evil by teaching him how to use the Keyblade. So, as far as I’m concerned, he didn’t get his Kingdom Key until we saw him in the Dark Realm at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2.

This is just all so incredible! IM TOTALLY CONFUSED!
How do u guys know all this stuff? I dont even know what xehanort has to do whith some keyblade war ur talking about… wtf is going on? sqare enix and disney really messed up, how are they gonna relate that secret vid with the beginning of KH3? whoa its outa control! help
on 12 May 2007 at 1:04 am 73. eric
lol anyoner tought that maybe we are gonna play with king mikey in kH3? cuz this act occours in the pasT! it is obivius since he uses a wensid keyblade as Ace of Diamonds so it is simply! maybe we gonna play as mikey in the war or maybethe warriors are resurrection of roxas riku and kairi or they are new characters not related!!
y they have to be related? who is the old guy? and the thing he summons? maybe u can think that the ES hates xehanort and if that happens that emans it is not him and mean xehanort done soemthing bad in the past , in the keyblade war! do u get wot i mean? that guy that appear in secret vid of KH 2 is maybe xehanort cuz it dont look like the old guy or the thing he summon
maybe iam wrong maybe iam right u will say that to me ;D i hope i donht get spanked lol
on 12 May 2007 at 5:12 am 74. jeff
i think that ven looks roxas cause hes related to sora and soras nobody is roxas and are said to look the same and same thing with kairi and riku except they dont look so similar but are related and the bald guy i think is some type of nobody formed from darkness and i think the names are in latin like some type of other language and i saw on a website that the plot is the bald guy they call erol is going back in time with sephiroth somehow to bring back dark hearts from kingdom hearts which would bring the un-evil hearts too but they are trying to win the war from the past and change time.
on 12 May 2007 at 5:52 am 75. bernaporto
ive been getting some theories together and i do think that riku might have a nobody because like sora he was once a heartless but was able to find light and come back. Another thing, Ansem the wise’s machine was supose to extract hearts right? So when it blew up it might have taken Ansem’s heart creating a heartless and a nobody. Also remember how if a nobody is killed after it’s heartless they are said to fuse together again? This wwould mean that Xehanort is still alive as something else. Maybe a Endless/Souless
on 12 May 2007 at 5:54 am 76. bernaporto
my comment was supported by comments around the 30’s. 2nd page
on 12 May 2007 at 6:07 am 77. kdh
i wonder if the last guy is sora hmm mabe u never now
i wondering if you can make your own keyblade man then go online and fight others
on 12 May 2007 at 6:10 am 78. bernaporto
that seem a bit to much don’t you think??
Also, please comment on my theories.
on 12 May 2007 at 6:10 am 79. bernaporto
It would be great though.
on 12 May 2007 at 6:26 am 80. kdh
what’s the connection between ven and roxas.i think the girl is riku’s nobody. but WHO’s ???. it doesn’t make any sence. most importantly wheres Sora?
on 12 May 2007 at 7:32 am 81. Chibi
Now I know for sure that ???’s name is
QUASAR HIS NAME IS QUASARRRR beacuse in japanese
that means earth and just like the other names this
one is QUASAR
on 12 May 2007 at 4:22 pm 82. eric
it isnt quasar , stop guessing
on 12 May 2007 at 6:02 pm 83. Temdev
Well, my theory is: First, ???? looks more like Xehanort, even when his eyes turn yellow, remember that his heartless and nobody had these yellow/orange eyes. Another thing is that maybe Xehanort is not his real name, remember that Ansem found him badly injured and without any memory from his past, except his name “Xehanort”,so that name could belong to the bald man, in the FM+ the ES spoke about his harthred towards Xehanort. That hate he had could be too much that it stayed with him, he took that name, even as a heartless he took the bald man’s outfit to represent his “darkness”.
And about the black/red masked one, maybe the bald man can separate his heartless, in the secret video they used the same keyblade and ice spells.
Well, thats what I think
(sorry if there are some grammar errors, english is not my language)
on 12 May 2007 at 6:14 pm 84. Mike Riku
The E.S is sora
on 12 May 2007 at 7:09 pm 85. Kai
Ok Im back I dont think Ven is related to Sora because Naruma would say so.. And Naruma mostly makes same drawings and remmber nothing do with Sora , Riku, Kairi maybe elements stands for paths look Wind Water Earth and Fire 4 elements 4 paths I ber u there is another E.S
on 12 May 2007 at 8:27 pm 86. OblivionRiku
Ok The E.S is NOT Sora, and is NOT Xehanort..im not going to explain why because i have done so a million times on other topics..only true KH fans would know so that he is not sora or xehanort. Its possible there might be a relation but it is not any of those 2. HE is a new character so stop lableing him as ANY of the orgnaization members. Or any characters in KH for that matter.
on 12 May 2007 at 8:57 pm 87. Riku
lol Kai, it’s Nomura, and he wouldn’t say so because he wants to keep us in suspense.
on 12 May 2007 at 10:44 pm 88. alex
the enigmatic soldier is the same on that fights sora in the japanese version of KH2
on 12 May 2007 at 10:58 pm 89. Bella
uh…hi.
on 13 May 2007 at 1:02 am 90. Kai
Riku I made mistake lol I ment he wont tell us xD dumb typing
on 13 May 2007 at 1:04 am 91. Kai
and Riku could I apply as staff =]
on 13 May 2007 at 3:11 am 92. Riku
You can “Register” in the links at the sides. From there you can post drafts of News Posts and Info Pages, and if good enough will go up on the site. If you do really well, you might become official staff. It’s very rare for that to happen though.
on 13 May 2007 at 3:15 am 93. aaron/NOXRAA
hey kai ‘ and riku
on 13 May 2007 at 4:08 am 94. bernaporto
I would still like to know what you guys thought of my theory.
Check it out on page 3 i really think it might be possible.
on 13 May 2007 at 12:27 pm 95. Riku
Riku was never a Heartless, and therefore doesn’t have a Nobody. Although his heart was inaccessible while under the control of Xehanort’s Heartless, it was still there.
on 13 May 2007 at 4:31 pm 96. Kai
Riku is rite…

Ace - I’ve always liked the name ‘Ïsa’ for Saïx’s Somebody, since the umlaut stays with the I, and from what I understand, it is a Finnish word.
Anyway, about the E.S.: he and the knight who challenged Sora are the same person. It can’t be Xehanort, because Xehanort’s Heartless is gone, and Xehanort’s Nobody is in The World That Never Was. I still think that the Dark Soldier in the KH2:FM+ trailer is Xehanort. He still can’t be in two places at once.
I don’t really have any theories about Aqua, except what I’ve gathered about my Chaser theory; in the KH2 secret trailer, she picks up Mickey’s Kingdom Key (since the E.s. picked up the one with the gold hilt, that must be Sora’s, and Ven picks up Way To The Dawn), so if my theory about the Chasers’ duty being to train the next generation of Keyblade masters, she would have instructed Mickey. (And if we assume that Xehanort was also a Chaser, then that would leave him to train Kairi, if we also assume that Kairi is in fact a Keyblade wielder.)
Jeff - It’s pretty much assumed that no Final Fantasy character will be a main villain in KH; no matter how popular Sephiroth is, he won’t be playing a pivotal role in KH3. (Sad, I know…I’d love for that to happen. Sora v. Safer Sephiroth would be so cool.)
Chibi - A Quasar is a deep space object. It is definitely not Japanese (you can tell simply by the fact that there’s a ‘Q’ in it.) The Japanese word for ‘earth/land’ is ‘Riku’ (陸), hence the name.
Bernaporto - Ansem the Wise’s machine was built to convert Kingdom Hearts into data. In the explosion, he was probably converted into data, as well.
Riku was never a Heartless, as has already been mentioned.
Yes, Xehanort is alive again. His Heartless was destroyed before his Nobody, and thus the two can recombine normally.
on 13 May 2007 at 5:58 pm 98. bernaporto
if Ansem’s hearth turned to data then he must have turnes into a nobody.
Also i’ve checked over and over again and though it is not perfectly clear Riku does become a heartless however just liek sora he was able to keep control of himself for a lilte while (when he stoped Xenahorts heartless from killing kairy). That also explains why he ended up in Kingdom Hearts and closed the door from the inside.
on 13 May 2007 at 6:08 pm 99. bernaporto
look just because the keyblade kairy used was given to her by riku doesn’t mean that is the reason she could use it. If you remember when Leon held the keyblade in the first game and when Jack Sparrow held it in the second game the keyblade disapeared after 2 or 3 seconds. This means that Kairy has to be a Keyblade wielder.
