===''Kingdom Hearts χ''===

Pooh's power is channeled by the [[Book of Prophecies]] to create the Winnie the Pooh A, Winnie the Pooh B, Pooh & Piglet, Pooh & Tigger & Rabbit, and Pooh Bear medals.

In [[Traverse Town]], [[Cid]] asks [[Sora]] to deliver a very special book that he had repaired to his friend, [[Merlin]]. Upon delivering it, Merlin reveals that the book has special properties, and suggests that Sora takes a closer look at it. Upon doing so, Sora finds himself inside the book. Sora ends up in a meadow, where Pooh sits on a log talking to himself. Once Sora introduces himself to Pooh, the bear explains that his friends and various locations have disappeared, leaving him alone.

 

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===

Pooh appears as a facsimile made of Sora's memories.

Upon Sora's arrival in Hollow Bastion, Merlin apparently lost Pooh's book, but later finds it in one of the districts of [[Hollow Bastion]]. Sora eagerly jumps in to visit Pooh while Merlin is away, leaving [[Goofy]] and [[Donald Duck]] to watch over the book from the outside world. As Pooh asks Sora to join him in his exercises, he suddenly freezes in mid-action, leaving Sora momentarily confused before he is summoned out of the book by Donald and Goofy, as they need his help since they were under attack by the Heartless. As Sora exits Merlin's house to assist his friends, a group of [[Soldier]] Heartless steal Pooh's book, ripping pages out in the process and leaving slash marks on the book's cover. However, Sora manages to take the damaged book back from the Heartless.  

When Sora returns to check on Pooh, he discovers that the traumatic forces that had been imposed on the book had given Pooh amnesia. To remedy this, Sora once again collects the scattered pages of the book and assists Pooh's friends in helping Pooh regain his memories of them. Certain actions in each area triggers Pooh's memories, but he does not remember Sora until nearly all the pages were recollected. After his memories are returned, Pooh begs Sora to stay with him, and Sora explains that he had to leave, but tells him that he and Pooh would always have a special connection through their [[heart]]s.

 

As a side-effect of Sora nearly being forced to be a member of the [[real Organization XIII]], Sora's connection with Pooh is weakened, causing the illustration on the 100 Acre Wood book to vanish. When Sora visits 100 Acre Wood to investigate, Pooh happily welcomes Sora "home" and explains that everyone was helping [[Rabbit]] harvest. After helping Rabbit with collecting his fruits and vegetables, Pooh is rewarded by his friend with a jar of fresh honey. Once done, Pooh explains to Sora about what happened, but Sora assures Pooh that he will never leave his heart, strengthening their connection.

==Design==

The version of Pooh used in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series is based on his appearance in the 1966 film ''{{w|Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree}}'' and all of the Pooh adventures that followed. Pooh was originally voiced by {{w|Sterling Holloway}}. Pooh was originally a character created by the real life Christopher Robin; the character was expanded upon by Christopher's father, A. A. Milne, and Pooh made his first appearance in London's "{{w|Evening Post}}" in 1925, going on to appear in the books ''{{w|Winnie the Pooh}}'' and ''{{w|The House at Pooh Corner}}''.
