{{nihongo|'''Jiminy's Journals'''|ジミニーメモ|Jiminī Memo|lit. "Jiminy Memo"}} are journals written by [[Jiminy Cricket]], containing information on [[Sora]] and the countless number of things he meets and discovers on his journeys through the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts|''Kingdom Hearts'' universe]]. Being a form of [[Report]], the journal contains sections on the Heartless, other characters, story plots, notes on the worlds, mini-games, treasure chests opened, Trinity Marks (''Kingdom Hearts'') and hints of what to do next (''Kingdom Hearts II''). However, Jiminy's first journal is wiped clean at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' and again at the end, with only one sentence left: "Thank [[Naminé]]."

The Journal is the first object to become a character in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, first appearing in ''Kingdom Hearts coded''. Because of the Journal being used as both a character and plot device in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', it is replaced in actual gameplay with a Computer System report which holds all information collected within the game and statistics.

After the team vanquishes Xemnas and Jiminy returns to [[Disney Castle]], he goes to organize his journals, but finds a message that he did not write: "Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it."<ref>In ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', the message is "We must return to free them from their torment."</ref> Jiminy asks King Mickey what to make of the message, but the King does not know, so at Chip and Dale's suggestion they decide to digitize the contents of the journal. Discovering that the data is filled with bugs, they create a [[Data-Sora]] to explore the [[Datascape]] created from the journal's contents and debug the data.

Soon after, a mysterious man clad in a [[black coat]] appears and reveals himself to be a Data-Riku, who has been given possession of the Journal's memories. Data-Riku guides Data-Sora as he destroys the bugs in each of the worlds in the journal, but he is kidnapped by Pete and Maleficent, who infest him with Bug Blox. Data-Sora battles Data-Riku, and enters his data to free them of the Bug Blox. When the data in the Journal is completely debugged, Data-Sora loses his memories.<!--There is a LOT more to the story of the journal than this-->

Following the rescue of [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]], the original seven [[Guardians of Light]], [[Donald]], [[Goofy]] and [[Yen Sid]] meet at [[The Mysterious Tower]]. [[Lea]] complains about the difficulty in being able to explain to Ventus the complex events that took place while he was comatose. As a solution, Jiminy sends a copy of his journal to everyone so they could all be primed on everything that happened so far in the battle against [[Xehanort]] and his various incarnations.

==Contents==
==Contents==
Jiminy's Journal has many contents pages, slightly differing between games. In general, each game's Journal includes entries on defeated [[Heartless]] and, in the case of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', [[Nobodies]]. The entries feature a brief description of the Heartless, sometimes mentioning an attack of theirs or the main world that they appear in, and mentioning how many have been defeated. They all also include entries on the characters encountered over the course of the game; anybody that Sora meets is added, unless they are generic characters (such as [[Traverse Town]]'s townsfolk). If the character added is from a ''Final Fantasy'' game or a Disney film, their first appearance is noted as well.

*'''Chronicles''': tells Sora's adventure world-by-world in story format, with the exclusion of the [[Destiny Islands]], Traverse Town, and [[End of the World]]. There is also a subsection called "Sora's Story" which details major plot events in the game.

The contents of the new Jiminy's Journal are separated by world. All world-specific characters may be viewed under "Characters" while viewing their world. For example, the player may choose [[Beast's Castle]] and then choose "Characters" if they want to view [[Beast]]'s entry. The Characters screen is different than in the previous games. Instead of a list of characters, it shows a small square with a picture of the character, divided into related groups. Sora, Donald, and Goofy all have entries under every world, with little difference in all world entries other than that of the [[Timeless River]], [[Atlantica]], [[Halloween Town]], the [[Pride Lands]], and [[Space Paranoids]]. Any non-world specific characters, such as the Summon characters and discarded entries, such as that of a cloaked Organization XIII member after the real identity receives an article, or the defeated Heartless and Nobodies, appear under the "Jiminy" selection, symbolized by a picture of Jiminy.
