While looking for Riku, Sora stumbles across Neku, who is hanging off of a nearby roof. Neku jumps down from the roof, asking Sora if he will help him in "the Game", but after looking at Sora's palm, he realizes that Sora is not part of the Game. He shows Sora his own palm, which is marked with his remaining time in the Game—just over forty-three minutes. Sora offers to help Neku win the Game, and though he comments that he was looking for a partner, Neku refuses, saying that they've just met and can't be considered friends yet. Neku leaves to continue the Game, and Sora chases after him. When Sora catches up, the pair is attacked by Dream Eaters.

Origin

Neku Sakuraba is the main protaganist of The World Ends With You. Born and raised in Shibuya, Neku is an ardent fan of graffiti. He hates people and makes every effort to seal himself off from the outside world, even wearing headphones wherever he goes. His Japanese voice actor is Kōki Uchiyama, and his American voice actor is Jesse David Corti.

Neku's life takes a turn when he wakes up lying facedown in the middle of Shibuya's Scramble Crossing, with no memories of anything but his name. He discovers he must participate in the "Reaper's Game", in which he and a partner must complete daily tasks within a certain time limit for 7 days. During the missions, he combats Noise, demons summoned by the Reapers, as well as the Reapers themselves. As he is forced to complete 3 weeks of the game, Neku slowly opens up to the outside world, learning new things about other people and himself.

Trivia

  • Neku is the first and so far only character to appear in the Kingdom Hearts series and originate from something other than Disney, Final Fantasy, or Kingdom Hearts fiction.
  • When Sora meets Neku, the song "Twister" plays, a recurring theme from The World Ends With You that appears in multiple arrangements throughout the game.[2]
  • Neku's render mimics his official artwork from The World Ends With You.
