Development[edit]
In the English version of Kingdom Hearts, Piglet was voiced by his original voice actor, John Fiedler. Fiedler, up to that point, had done Piglet's voice ever since Piglet's first appearance in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. However, Fiedler died before Kingdom Hearts II was dubbed into English, and so Travis Oates (Piglet's current official voice) took over the role for the second game; Kingdom Hearts II marked the formal debut of Oates as the English voice of Piglet, after him having partially provided the voice in Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie. Coincidentally, Tigger's original voice actor, Paul Winchell, who did not reprise his role due to having long retired from acting by then, passed away the day before Fiedler himself died.
Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts[edit]
When Sora entered Winnie the Pooh's book, a world inside a world, he found that all of Pooh's friends had disappeared from the story, leaving Pooh all alone. To help his new friend, Sora ventured to other worlds and collected pages of Pooh's story. Piglet was on the first page Sora found; he, like Pooh, was very confused about being suddenly separated from his friends and home.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories[edit]
A facsimile of Piglet created by Naminé is featured as a memory to Sora.
Kingdom Hearts II[edit]
Once again, the Heartless scattered the pages of Pooh's book across the worlds, though this time the characters seemed unaware that this had occurred. Sora found Piglet near his house, being blown about by the blustery winds of the day. Piglet was very distressed to realize that Pooh did not remember who he was, not realizing that Pooh was suffering from a case of amnesia brought on by the Heartless' careless handling of the book.

Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
Design[edit]
Piglet is an extremely small pig, weighing so little that a moderate breeze can pick him up and carry him for miles if nothing obstructs his path. His skin is completely pink, his ears and nose being darker shades than the rest of his body. He wears a pink jumper, which fits him snugly. Next to Roo, he is the smallest of the main characters in the 100 Acre Wood, which contributes greatly to his outlook on life.
Personality[edit]
Piglet is well known for being extremely insecure due to his tiny stature. Piglet regularly convinces himself that he is too small to make much of a difference in most situations. However, Piglet's friends often help him realize that he has a lot of potential greatness stored inside of him; he simply has to find the right way to let it out.

Piglet has great admiration for Pooh, who he views as his best friend in all of the Hundred-Acre Wood.
Abilities[edit]
Piglet has no apparent abilities, as his world is unaffected by the Heartless. He does, however, hold up very well against being tossed about in high winds, which carry him away easily due to his light weight and small stature.
Origin[edit]
This version of Piglet is based after his appearance in Walt Disney's short Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, and all of his appearances in the Pooh franchise afterwards.
