As in other role-playing games, the various traits of a Kingdom Hearts character are measured by their stats. Stats measure attributes such as the magnitude of damage dealt by the character's attacks, the number of abilities they can equip, or how many spells they can cast consecutively. Stats generally grow throughout the course of each game, as characters level up or complete certain objectives.
Recurring Stats
Level
A character's level represents their overall growth, and most stats grow in tandem with the level; a low-level character will generally have less stamina and strength than a high-level character. The character's level will go up each time they obtain set amounts of experience points; normally the level is automatically increased, while in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, the player is instead awarded Level Up panels or chips that they can choose to equip. This generally provides the character with an assortment of bonuses to their other stats, with the exception of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, in which the player chooses one of three bonuses upon leveling up.
Leveling up may also grant additional bonuses besides stat increases. In Kingdom Hearts, leveling up may grant a new ability, an additional slot for items, or an additional equipment slot for accessories. In Kingdom Hearts II, leveling up may grant a new ability. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, one of the bonuses available to Sora after leveling up may be a new sleight.

Hit Points (HP)
Hit Points, or HP, represent a character's or enemy's health. When damage is taken in battle or in the field, the damage is taken out of the current HP. Once HP falls to zero, the character is knocked out and can no longer fight. In the case of the main character, losing all HP results in a Game Over. HP can be restored by collecting HP prizes, or with healing items like Potions and Elixirs, Cure magic, or some abilities.
A character's current and maximum HP are indicated on-screen by the green HP gauge, which typically accompanies an image of the character. An enemy's HP gauge will appear on-screen if the Scan ability is equipped. The exception is Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, in which the enemy gauge automatically appears.
Boosting maximum HP
In Kingdom Hearts, maximum HP may increase upon leveling up. Additionally, equipping some accessories also boosts maximum HP.

Magic Points (MP)
Magic Points, or MP, represents a character's ability to cast magic and use certain active abilities in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. Every time a spell or ability is used, the cost is taken from the character's current MP. MP can be restored with healing items like Ethers and Elixirs, or with some abilities. In Kingdom Hearts, the maximum MP determines the amount of damage inflicted by magic.
A character's current and maximum MP are indicated on-screen by the blue MP gauge, which appears alongside their HP gauge.
