'''Wakka''' is a minor character in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series, originally from ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]''. Wakka is fifteen years old at the beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''.

==Story==
===''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''===
Wakka is a resident of the [[Destiny Islands]] and a friend of [[Sora]], [[Kairi]], and [[Riku]]. He spends a lot of time with [[Tidus]] and [[Selphie]], and treats them just as a big brother would. He and Tidus expressed their curiosity over the Secret Place, and were thinking of exploring it.

Like Selphie and Tidus, Wakka appears in Sora's Dive to the Heart on the Destiny Islands area. His question, "What do you want outta life?" also helps determine the leveling pace throughout the rest of the game. Sora can answer with either A) to see rare sights, B) to broaden my horizons, or C) to be strong. Later, he can be fought while on Destiny Islands; if he, Tidus, and Selphie are all defeated, Sora can duel all three of them at once.

It is unknown what happens to him after Destiny Islands is destroyed, though he reappears when the worlds are restored after Sora defeats [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]].

===''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''===
A memory-based version of Wakka appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' inside the Destiny Islands simulation in [[Castle Oblivion]]. Some time after the defeat of Marluxia, the real Wakka is shown playing with Selphie and Tidus on a beach while Kairi is facing the Small Island.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''===
Wakka makes no appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. He and Tidus are only briefly mentioned by Selphie, described as being "wrapped up in their ball game".

===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===
Wakka makes his third appearance in ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', this time as a data version of himself, appearing on the data version of Destiny Islands, alongside Tidus and Selphie. He appears on Destiny Islands talking to Sora.

==Appearance==
Wakka is one of the tallest children on Destiny Islands and has a strong build. His skin is tan, his eyes are brown, and his orange hair is spiked with an enormous coif. He wears a pale yellow tank top with black lining and white laces, tipped with green and yellow beads, and baggy yellow pants that close up halfway down his lower legs, each leg featuring a large, grey "X"-shaped strap with blue tips. He also wears green sandals, blue wristbands on each wrist, and small stud earrings. He often carries a white and blue ball, which he uses as a practice weapon.

==Abilities==
[[File:Blitzball KH.png|thumb|Wakka's Blitzball]]
{{main|Game:Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka}}
On Destiny Islands, he practices fighting skills with Sora, using his ball as a thrown weapon. During this battle, if Sora can manage to block one of Wakka's attacks via hitting the ball back at him, it earns him one tech point. If Wakka jumps in the air and throws the ball at Sora and Sora successfully blocks it he gets two tech points. After defeating Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka as individuals, Sora is able to fight against them all at the same time.

==Origin==
[[File:Wakka FFX.png|150px|left]]
In ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]'', [[finalfantasy:Wakka|Wakka]] is a major character and a twenty-three year old professional blitzball player. His is the first person to meet [[finalfantasy:Tidus|Tidus]] after the young man washes ashore in the world of [[finalfantasy:Spira|Spira]], and recruits him to his Blitzball team. Throughout the game, Wakka forms a close brotherly relationship with Tidus, helping him navigate the traditions and lore of this new world, believing him to be mentally ill following his contact with [[finalfantasy:Sin|Sin]]. Wakka uses blitzballs as his weapons in battle for long-ranged attacks, making him a useful combatant against flying enemies.

==Trivia==
*Originally, Wakka was not intended to be in ''Kingdom Hearts''; his role was supposed to be filled by [[w:c:finalfantasy:Irvine Kinneas|Irvine Kinneas]] from ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VIII|Final Fantasy VIII]]''.{{fact}}
*Wakka's character model is reused and with a new palette for a minor character. This character can only be seen in Agrabah after you have cleared the story as one of the many non-playable characters managing the shops, but doesn't reappear again in subsequent visits as the Heartless reappear once the player leaves and comes back.
*Wakka uses his Blitzball to attack as he did in ''Final Fantasy X'', but this one lacking the bumps and Spiran script for the word "Blitzball" of the original. Nevertheless, this makes him, out of all the Destiny Islands and Twilight Town ''Final Fantasy'' characters, the only one to use exactly the same weapon as his original incarnation.
*Like Selphie and Tidus, Wakka's battle stance and basic attack are based off his ''Final Fantasy X'' appearance. Also, his attack where he yells "Take this!" is similar in appearance to one of his [[finalfantasy:Overdrive (Final Fantasy X)|Overdrives]], Status Reels.
*Selphie's comment on Wakka's and Tidus' ballgame is a reference to [[finalfantasy:Blitzball|Blitzball]] from ''Final Fantasy X''.
