The Kingdom Hearts franchise’s latest installment, Kingdom Hearts 3, is a reunion of characters introduced across nearly two decades of games. The massive cast includes Kingdom Hearts‘ own original characters, as well as crossover characters from Final Fantasy and Disney properties. The crossover worlds change every game, but some have stayed as staples, such as Olympus from Disney’s Hercules.
New worlds like Arendelle and Rapunzel’s kingdom of Corona were introduced in Kingdom Hearts 3, and with these new worlds come new voice actors. They’re joining an already long list of talented voice actors from the series.
Aside from a few changes of hands, most of the cast of Kingdom Hearts original characters have kept the same voice actors they were introduced in their respective games with. After 18 years of Kingdom Hearts games, it would be difficult to imagine anyone else in the roles of characters like Sora or Roxas than the voice actors who made them iconic roles.
- Haley Joel Osment has voiced Sora since he was the same age as the protagonist, back when the first Kingdom Hearts was released. Osment has been there for every plot twist, and he’s excellently performed as Sora’s voice for all of these years. Osment reprises the role once again in Kingdom Hearts 3, and also voices Vanitas.

Lloyd took over the role after Hauer’s unfortunate passing in 2019. Hauer himself had taken over for Leonard Nimoy after Nimoy’s passing in 2015.
- Master Eraqus is voiced by Mark Hamill. Kingdom Hearts‘ director Tetsuya Nomura originally casted Hamill and Nimoy as the two opposing Keyblade masters because he wanted to have icons from Star Wars and Star Trek opposite each other.
