On March 14, 2019, Square Enix announced that Olaf's Japanese voice actor will be changed in a future update, after his original {{w|Pierre Taki}} was arrested after admitting to drug usage.<ref>[https://www.jp.square-enix.com/topics/detail/745/ Notice of "Kingdom Hearts III" voice actor change and update delivery]</ref><ref>[https://www.siliconera.com/2019/03/14/kingdom-hearts-iii-is-changing-olafs-japanese-voice-in-an-update-following-arrest-of-pierre-taki/ '''''Siliconera''''': "Kingdom Hearts III Is Changing Olaf’s Japanese Voice In An Update Following Pierre Taki’s Arrest"]</ref> | |||

After [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] fall down the mountain again, the animated Olaf steps on Sora's hair, mistaking it for grass, and gets his foot stuck. He manages to take off his foot and walk away, while Sora regains consciousness. Sora then tells Donald and Goofy that he saw a walking, talking snowman, but they don't believe him. | After [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] fall down the mountain again, the animated Olaf steps on Sora's hair, mistaking it for grass, and gets his foot stuck.

Olaf is a short snowman. He is composed of five snowballs; one head-shaped snowball for his head, a smaller snowball for his upper torso, a large snowball for his lower body, and two very small snowballs for his feet. He has two small twigs on his head to resemble hair, eyebrows, black eyes, a carrot for his nose, twigs for arms, and three black pebbles to resemble buttons. His only teeth are buck teeth on his upper mouth. | Olaf is a short snowman.

Olaf first appeared in the 2013 Disney film ''Frozen'', voiced by Josh Gad. Originally, Olaf was a snowman created by Elsa for Anna when the two were little, but collapsed after Elsa accidentally froze Anna. Thirteen years later, Elsa recreates Olaf when testing her powers, but unknowingly brings him to life. Olaf eventually crosses paths with Anna and Kristoff and follows them in their journey to find Elsa. He does not have a significant role in the story, often the source of comic relief, although he does save Anna's life after Hans locks her in a room and leaves her to perish. | Olaf first appeared in the 2013 Disney film ''Frozen'', voiced by Josh Gad.

Until 2019, Olaf was voiced in the Japanese version of the ''Frozen'' franchise by Pierre Taki. In March, Taki was arrested on suspicion of cocain use. In response, Square Enix announced that Taki's performance as Olaf in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' would be replaced via patch. Disney will also be recasting Olaf for all future media in Japan, including the Japanese dub of the then-upcoming ''Frozen II''.<ref>https://www.khinsider.com/news/SE-plans-to-replace-Olaf-s-JPN-voice-actor-in-KH3-amid-drug-scandal-14779</ref> | |||
