One day, a boy named Sora receives a key-shaped sword called "Keyblade" and sets off on a journey with Donald and Goofy, under the orders of the King (Mickey), to bring back his best friends Riku and Kairi, who have been separated from each other. In order to save the world, they need to unlock the key from both the world of light and the world of darkness, and their best friend Riku chooses to stay in the world of darkness.
The "XIII Organization," an organization that is active in the world of darkness, has the "Keyblade" necessary to complete "Kingdom Hearts," which is said to be the heart of the world and a collection of human hearts. The "XIII Agency" organization has repeatedly stood in the way of Sora, who possesses the "Keyblade," which is necessary to complete "Kingdom Hearts," a collection of the world's hearts and human minds.

When Sora and his friends learn that the previous battles over "Kingdom Hearts" were being fought at the behest of Master Zearnoth, who is planning to start a Keyblade War, they try to assemble seven guardians of light to fight against the darkness.
The King and Riku begin to search for the whereabouts of the past Keyblade wielders, and Sora, Donald, and Goofy once again travel through the various Disney worlds in order to recover the "power of awakening.
