Story

Kingdom Hearts χ

Maui's power is channeled by the Book of Prophecies to form the Maui Medal.

Personality

Maui is a boisterous demigod and can be prone to arrogance when talking about his achievements, which helps mask some very deep-seated issues regarding his abandonment. Nonetheless, he is very heroic and loyal to his friends.

Origin

Based on a hero and chief of the same name from Polynesian mythology, Maui first appeared in the Walt Disney Animation Studio's fifty-sixth animated feature, Moana. In the film, it is revealed he was tossed into the sea by his parents, who did not want him. Maui was subsequently found by the gods, and they granted him a magical fish hook that made him a demigod. Maui returned to the people and granted them their every desire and he even stole the Heart of Te Fiti for them, but this act created the lava demoness Te Kā and cost him his hook. Stranded on an island for the next one thousand years, Maui eagerly anticipated a means of escaping as the world decayed around him.

During the events of Moana, Maui is found by the titular character, who orders him to board her boat and restore the Heart of Te Fiti. The demigod only agrees to do so once he retrieves his fish hook from a giant crab, Tamatoa. With his hook restored to him, Maui gradually warms up to Moana and teaches her to become a wayfinder. The two manage to overcome Te Kā, restore the Heart of Te Fiti, and save the world.
