| In ''Final Fantasy X'', Wakka is a major character and a twenty-three year old professional blitzball player. His name means "water" in Ainu, a near-extinct Japanese dialect. In addition to being one of [[Gullwings|Yuna's]] guardians and childhood friends, he is captain of the Besaid Aurochs, a blitzball team that, as of the beginning of ''Final Fantasy X'', went twenty-three years without winning a single game. He uses blitzballs as his weapons in battle, making him the only character who can reliably hit flying enemies, as well as making him and Lulu the only characters who can attack physically at range. | | In ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]'', [[finalfantasy:Wakka|Wakka]] is a major character and a twenty-three year old professional blitzball player. He uses blitzballs as his weapons in battle, similar to his ''Kingdom Hearts'' counterpart. Throughout the game, Wakka forms a close brotherly relationship with [[finalfantasy:Tidus|Tidus]]. |
| Wakka seems somewhat socially conservative, dependent on others and on the rules (such as Yevon's teachings) for his decisions. He lost his younger brother Chappu to Sin, an event he never fully recovered from. He forms a close brotherly relationship with Tidus, partially fueled by his resemblance to Chappu, though Lulu constantly has to remind him that Tidus isn't Chappu. Nevertheless, Wakka gives Tidus his signature weapon which he previously gave Chappu.

| Six months after the events of ''Final Fantasy X'', he marries Lulu. In ''Final Fantasy X-2'', he becomes a father to her baby, Vidina, a name thought up by Wakka. "Vidina" translates as "future" in the Al Bhed language, and is Wakka's declaration that he has let go of Yevon's teachings, which were biased against Al Bhed, and even part Al Bhed such as Yuna.
