{{nihongo|'''Organization XIII'''|XIII機関|Jūsan Kikan}}, sometimes simply called the '''Organization''', is a group of thirteen powerful [[Nobody|Nobodies]] led by [[Xemnas]], who seek to reclaim their [[heart]]s and become whole again by creating [[Kingdom Hearts]]. Although the group only has thirteen "true" members, it includes a fourteenth pseudo-member, [[Xion]]. They serve as major antagonists throughout the [[Dark Seeker Saga]], with their members appearing in every game except the original ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', and are, unbeknownst to all but their highest ranks, the main agents of [[Xehanort]]'s own plans to conquer Kingdom Hearts.

Members of Organization XIII first appeared in ''[[Another side, Another story...]]'', and they debuted in canon through the [[Game:Xemnas|Unknown]], who serves as a boss battle in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]''. The group itself was introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and while the members usually serve as bosses, they were even made playable in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.

Because all of the members are Nobodies they lack their original hearts, and it is initially claimed in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' that this means they cannot have emotions, instead relying on acting to unnerve and toy with their opponents. The Organization yearns to discover the secrets of the heart and become full beings again by gathering hearts to form [[Kingdom Hearts]]. Despite this, most of the members begin demonstrating true emotions as time goes on, and it is eventually revealed that while they lacked their original hearts, Xemnas's plan revolved around filling the hole with pieces of his own heart, essentially turning each of them into copies of himself. Despite lacking normal emotions, or perhaps because of it, many members of the group are remarkably disloyal to its head, and much of their story revolves around key betrayals or attempted coups.

In the naming ritual, the name of the [[Nobody]]'s "other" appears before them in translucent, iridescent [[light]], then an "X" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name.
