Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts II[edit]
Rai is a member of the Twilight Town Disciplinary Committee, along with Seifer, Fuu, and Vivi. The group often causes trouble for Hayner, Pence, and Olette. Rai is personally responsible for one of the Seven Wonders; believing the steps at Sunset Station count differently up and down. However, he just counted wrong during a visit with Fuu.
On the first day in the simulated Twilight Town, Roxas and company confronts the Committee, who have been claiming they stole photographs from people all over town. Rai watches Roxas and Seifer's fight with the rest of the Committee. If Roxas wins, Rai defends Seifer, saying that he's not feeling well; if Seifer wins, Rai taunts the others.
On the third day, Roxas is chased by Dusks into the Sandlot, where the Committee is hanging around. Dusks surround them, but they are suddenly frozen in time. After the Dusks vanish, Rai praises Seifer for driving the Dusks off, and he shouts after Roxas not to forget the Struggle tournament. During the tournament on the fourth day, Rai cheers for Seifer to win. After Seifer is beaten by the fake Vivi, Rai and Fuu follow him from The Sandlot.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy encounter the Disciplinary Committee in the Sandlot after waking up in the real Twilight Town, and when Seifer antagonizes the group, Rai prepares to fight. When Sora and company return to Twilight Town, they find Seifer, Rai, and Fuu in the Sandlot, having been overwhelmed by a swarm of Nobodies. After the swarm is defeated, Seifer gives Goofy Seifer's Trophy and leaves with Rai and Fuu.
