TheKingdom Hearts series uses an extensive array of recurring symbols, some original and some derived from real-world sources, with deep significance to its story and characters. This page compiles the most important of these symbols and details their use in the series.

Main symbols[edit]

Heart[edit]

Hearts are some of the most recognizable and prominent symbols associated with the series; one type of heart symbol is featured on the series logo and, as a result, on the majority of real-worldKingdom Hearts merchandise. The most recognizable heart symbol is depicted as the outline of a heart with tips that curl inward at its top. More simplified solid heart designs also appear in the series, although they are featured less prominently.

The symbol appears on the back of everyCard; onLimit Form's outfit inHalloween Town; in several worlds, such asHollow Bastion,The World That Never Was,Traverse Town, andRadiant Garden; onRiku'sDive to the Heart station inKingdom Hearts III Re Mind; and on severalKeyblades and miscellaneous weapons. Simplified heart symbols appear less frequently, but are featured inTrinity Marks, several Keyblades,Wonderland – typically with theQueen of Hearts – and the heart-shaped moon that isKingdom Hearts. A few Pureblood Heartless have heart-shaped holes in their chests.

The screen fades forTraverse Town^{[KH coded][KH MoM]},Hollow Bastion^{[KH coded]},Radiant Garden^{[KH BbS][KH MoM]},The World That Never Was^{[KH II][KH Days][KH 3D][KH MoM]},Dive to the Heart^{[KH MoM]},End of the World^{[KH MoM]},Castle Oblivion^{[KH MoM]}, andThe Final World^{[KH MoM]} are hearts.

Heartless[edit]

The Heartless symbol is used, as its name suggests, to represent theHeartless, specifically Emblem Heartless. The standard Heartless emblem is displayed on every single Emblem Heartless, as well asAnsem, Seeker of Darkness's chest and certain weapons related to Heartless, such as theAkashic Record andPrecious Mushroom. In theEnd of the World, the doorway leading to the Final Rest area is shaped like the Heartless emblem. The Heartless emblem without the barbed "X" is commonly associated with Riku. When usingDark Mode, Riku wears the symbol on his chest, and the aforementioned lack of a thorny cross symbolizes the fact he hasn't completely lost his heart to the darkness.^[1] InKingdom Hearts III, the Station of Awakening for the facsimile ofOlympus inThe Final World bears the same symbol around the circumference of its design, as it is where Sora finds Riku's heart and rescues it from theLich. Riku'sAlba & Ater game piece features this symbol on the top as well. It is also theKeychain token of his main Keyblade,Way to the Dawn. In its appearances inKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and onwards, the token's design integrates elements of the recurring heart symbol, curling the tips of the Heartless emblem's red outline inward at the top. The Keychain token of theχ-blade is a black and red heart resembling the Heartless emblem, but with twoKingdom Keys crossed over it in place of the normal red design. In theWorld of Chaos fight, the arena is shaped like a blue Heartless insignia.

The Heartless emblem is comprised of a heart with afleur-de-lis at its base. It is typically black with a red outline and barbed "X" crossing through the heart in the symbol, which symbolizes the fact that Heartless act without emotions, hence their name. A common variation of the Heartless emblem is a completely black silhouette, lacking the cross over the heart. A third variation is simply a heart featuring the color scheme of the standard Heartless symbol, a black body and red outline, but also lacks the cross.

Bug Blox[edit]

TheBug Blox have symbols on each side of their bodies. They resemble circles connected by some lines, representing the corrupted nature of the digital bugs.

Similar markings appear on other Heartless associated with data, namelyFlappy Bugs and theDarkubes.

Nobody[edit]

TheNobody symbol (ノーバディのマーク^?) is primarily associated withOrganization XIII and the Nobodies it commands, and many of the members' weapons incorporate the symbol into their design. Every single lesser Nobody is emblazoned with the Nobody symbol, and a few are even shaped like it. TheProof of Nonexistence,Challenge Sigil,Unity Badge, andOrdeal Badge all feature the symbol. Certain accessories with connections to Organization XIII, such as theFull Bloom andShadow Archive, also use the symbol. The symbol is featured countless times in the architecture and decorations of theCastle That Never Was and other areas related to the Organization.Two Become One is the only Keyblade to sport the full Nobody emblem in its design. A variant of the Nobody emblem based on the original's top half appears on severalGummi Nobodies.

The Nobody emblem resembles an upside-down Heartless emblem in shape, but with several circular notches taken out of its edges. The symbol's base is shaped like an upside-down heart, while its top is a thin, spiked cross. Spikes and sharp edges often evoke the Nobody emblem without the full symbol being displayed. The symbol is usually depicted as white or silver, like most Nobodies. Though it was stated in theKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania thatXemnas created the Nobody emblem based onTerra's fragmented memories, thus its resemblance toTerra's Mark^[2], the symbol can be seen incorporated in Xehanort's armor inKingdom Hearts Dark Road, decades before the birth of Xemnas.

There is a simplified version of the Nobody symbol that only features the upper spiked cross section. This varation is primarily associated with Roxas: his Twilight Town outfit uses this symbol as a zipper pull, and it is found on the Keychain token of theTwo Become One Keyblade. Roxas's Alba & Ater game piece also features this symbol on the top. Similar symbols are often used to evoke the Nobody sigil, such as inSaïx'sLunatic Claymore andLarxene'sFoudre Knives.

Unversed[edit]

TheUnversed emblem is emblazoned at least once on every single Unversed, with the exception of theFlood. AfterVanitas forcibly merges withVentus, Ventus'sDive to the Heart Station changes appearance, incorporating Unversed emblems into Vanitas's half of the pillar. Theblack coat bears a silver Unversed symbol on its zipper.

The Unversed emblem is designed to resemble a heart expressing emotion. It uses sharp corners, deep curves, and straight edges to form a heart shape in its center. Certain parts of the Unversed symbol's design resemble some Unversed's eyes. The symbol is nearly always black.

Dream Eater[edit]

TheDream Eater emblems appear on almost every Dream Eater.

The Dream Eater symbols are designed in the form of hearts with certain aspects that display whether they are Spirit or Nightmare. The Spirit variant is most of the time a faded pale peach fading to a deep hot pink with a dark purple border, the tail at the bottom of the heart-shaped is bowl-shaped. Its wings are shaped more like swirls as it is given a simplistic innocent look, compared to the Nightmare version. The Nightmare variant is always colored a deep navy fading into a bright neon purple with a thick white border, the tail at the bottom of the heart-shaped symbol is cone-shaped. Its wings are shaped like bat wings with small spikes in the center and growing larger near the sides. They bear a very vague resemblance to the Heartless symbol, specifically the Nightmare version.

Due to his nature withinSora's dreams as a Dream Eater, Riku has a black-colored version of the Spirit emblem on the back of his vest during most ofKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

Eraqus[edit]

This symbol, referred to as "Terra's Mark" (テラたちのマーク, Tera-tachi no Māku^?, lit. "The Mark of Terra and his friends") in theKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania, is an emblem of Keyblade Wielders. The earliest known appearance of this symbol is the Keychain token onBrain'sMaster's Defender Keyblade.

Keyblade Wielders often wear this symbol as part of their outfit.Master Odin and his pupils –Heimdall,Helgi,Hoder,Sigrun,Vala,Vali,Vidar,Xehanort,Eraqus,Hermod,Bragi,Urd,Vor, andBaldr – all wear the emblem on their clothes andKeyblade Armor. Many years later, Eraqus's own pupilsTerra,Ventus, andAqua wear the mark as well.

This symbol is incorporated into the architecture ofScala ad Caelum. It also appears on the walls of theChamber of Waking. Aqua'sWayfinders have the symbol in their centers, and the emblem is featured on several Dive to the Heart Stations, including two of Ventus's Stations and the character selection screen ofKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. InKingdom Hearts III, a Gummi Ship Sticker resembling this mark is titledEraqus/S.

The screen fade forLand of Departure^{[KH BbS][KH MoM]} is this emblem.

This symbol resembles the Heartless and Nobody symbols in shape; it is a heart with a sharp cross at its base. The symbol is very angular and squared, and the points of its cross are much more compact and close together than those of the Nobody symbol. The symbol appears in several different colors, such as gold and silver.

Crown[edit]

Crowns are another heavily featured symbol of the series and are part of theKingdom Hearts logo along with the curled heart symbol. Sora notably wears a silver crown necklace in most of his forms and can, in fact, wear acrown inKingdom Hearts II Final Mix.Puzzle pieces,Crown Stickers andMission Crowns are represented by golden crowns. Limit Form and, in Halloween Town,Final Form, is represented by crowns. The tops of the cards used inCastle Oblivion are shaped like the standard crown, and are featured on the front of some cards. TheCrown-G, the Keychain token of theOblivion, accessories such as theDraw Ring, theSave the King shield, and theUltima Weapon all incorporate crowns into their designs. Both theRoyal Radiance and theUnbound have a gold crown with a gold circle on each of its points as the tokens of their Keychains. Every one of Sora's Dive to the Heart Stations feature crowns. A large, glowing crown appears underneath Sora when he unlocks a WorldGate. Sora'sAlba & Ater game piece features a crown on the top.

The screen fade forHollow Bastion/Radiant Garden^{[KH II][KH MoM]} is a crown.

The most widely used crown symbol in the series is a flat, three-pronged crown that appears in a wide variety of colors, most commonly gold and silver. The shape of the crowns prongs creates a negative space silhouette of the Kingdom Key's teeth. Strategy guides for the series occasionally use a yellow symbol that could be a crown viewed from above. This symbol is a ring with spikes along its outer edge and an "X" in its center, and is used to represent characters and enemies that cannot be classified as Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed or Dream Eaters.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the crown symbol is used to represent theKingdom Hearts series.

Keyhole[edit]

Every world has aKeyhole that leads to its heart and can be locked by the Keyblade. Locking all of the Keyholes is Sora's primary objective in the originalKingdom Hearts. InKingdom Hearts II, Sora seeks out and unlocksGates, which are represented by large, glowing keyholes. The complete χ-blade is capable of summoning countless keyhole-shaped gates to anywhere in the realms. When the incomplete χ-blade is destroyed, it releases beams of energy which radiate keyhole-shaped symbols.

The screen fade forTwilight Town^{[KH II][KH Days][KH MoM]},Destiny Islands^{[KH coded][KH MoM]}, andSystem Sector^{[KH MoM]} is a keyhole.

The Keyhole symbol is normally depicted as a simple silhouette of an old-fashioned keyhole, one that askeleton key could unlock.

Key[edit]

Keys are recurring symbols in the series, mainly through the use of the Keyblade by the main characters. The simplified key symbol is used to represent physical attacks with the Keyblade in theCommand Menu andCommand Deck and similar menus.

The screen fade for theKeyblade Graveyard^{[KH BbS][KH III][KH MoM]} is a Keyblade.

Excluding the many different forms that Keyblades take, the common key symbol resembles a simplified Kingdom Key. The Kingdom Key, in turn, is modeled after a skeleton key, a type of key that was designed to open any lock.

Chi and the Recusant's Sigil[edit]

"As your flesh bears the sigil, so your name shall be known as that...of a recusant."

—Xemnas to Sora, at the beginning of their battle.

Chi is the twenty-second letter in the Greek alphabet, from which the Latin letter "X" is derived. MasterXehanort can form a glowing, stylized version of the letter in his hand. According to him, χ is "a most ancient letter" that represents death and endings, and it can be pronounced "kye" or "key". The letter χ lends its name and form to the χ-blade, which features two Kingdom Keys crossed in an "X"-shape on the blade and Keychain token.

Xemnas adds a similar-looking "X" known as theRecusant's Sigil (異端の印, Itan no shirushi^?, lit. "Mark of heresy") to the names of all members of Organization XIII. This is because he vaguely remembers Master Xehanort's fascination with the χ-blade.^[3] During the battle between theGuardians of Light andreal Organization XIII, Lea, Roxas, and Xion "take back what's theirs" by forcing three glowing χ symbols out of Xemnas. While Roxas states that the Recusant's Sigils will fade when Xemnas dies, he wanted to reclaim it and his identity for himself. The three repurposed the meaning of the Recusant's Sigil to represent their friendship.

According to Young Xehanort, the Recusant's Sigil can be used to track a person's location once he or she has been marked with it. During hisMark of Mastery exam in theSleeping Worlds, Sora is marked with the Recusant's Sigil byAnsem, Seeker of Darkness so that theother incarnations ofXehanort can keep an eye on him. The Recusant's Sigil appears on Sora's shirt in the form of a silver "X."

The designs of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus's outfits were each inspired by the Latin letter "X."^[4]

Stars[edit]

Stars are frequently-seen symbols in the series and are often associated with the various Worlds in theKingdom Hearts universe.Stars in the night sky are actually other, distant Worlds. Stars fade out when the corresponding world has been destroyed; the disappearance of many stars is what promptedMickey Mouse to find a way to stop the Heartless, beginning the events of the originalKingdom Hearts.

An artifact called theStar Shard allowed for transportation from one World to another, albeit randomly. Several accessories and Keyblades incorporate stars into their designs, such as theStar Seeker.Paopu fruit are star-shaped fruit which supposedly create bonds between friends that can span many different Worlds.Wayfinders, lucky charms modeled after paopu fruit, have a similar reputation. InKingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, as part ofMarluxia's plot to brainwash Sora,Naminé changes the appearance ofKairi's Wayfinder to that of a simple star charm. The Wayfinders made by Aqua inKingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep manifest these bonds of friendship physically, in the form of theDimension Link system. Paopu fruit and Wayfinders are featured in the designs of several important Keyblades, including the Ultima Weapon andOathkeeper. A star is the Keychain token of theWishing Star.Yen Sid's powerful sorcerer's hat is adorned with several stars and moons. InThe Final World, those who linger there are represented by floating points of light arranged to form the shape of a star. Kairi'sAlba & Ater game piece features a star on the top.

InKingdom Hearts χ [chi]Lux, a form of light, is introduced that together with the related Crystals of Light are also star-shaped. Additionally, every Keyblade releases a unique star when hitting an object or enemy, and many avatar parts incorporate stars, with the crowns on the Sora themed boards being replaced by stars.

The screen fade forDaybreak Town^{[KH χ]} andGame Central Station^{[KH Uχ]} is a Lux icon.

Minor symbols[edit]

Fleur-de-lis[edit]

Even in the real world, thefleur-de-lis is an extremely old and widespread symbol. It is a stylized flower, specifically a lily or iris, with a diverse range of meanings, but it has been most commonly associated with royalty or purity, and is the symbol of the French monarchy. Within theKingdom Hearts series, thefleur-de-lis appears on several accessories and weapons, such as theMaster Ring andMidnight Roar, the door toTimeless River, various areas and uniforms in theCountry of the Musketeers and two Dive to the Heart Stations: one of Ventus's Stations and the Station displaying silhouettes of three princesses. A standardfleur-de-lis is used to representValor Form, while a stylized version of the symbol—one shaped like an "X"—representsMaster Form. TheOld Mansion features a unique symbol that combines the crown, heart, andfleur-de-lis symbols. InTraverse Town, thefleur-de-lis symbol appears as a huge sign for the Accessory Shop.

The screen fade forCountry of the Musketeers^{[KH 3D][KH MoM]} is a fleur-de-lis.

Hidden Mickey[edit]

The silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head is frequently used to represent not only Mickey himself, but Disney as a whole.Disney Town andDisney Castle feature the symbol heavily, and three of the many craters in theKeyblade Graveyard form the silhouette as well. The symbol is also incorporated into theTrinity Limit circle,Gimmick Cards, and certain weapons such as theDream Sword. It serves as the Keychain token for the Kingdom Key,Kingdom Key D,Victory Line,Braveheart, and theStar Cluster Keyblades. King Mickey uses the symbol to seal all of his official letters. In the Sleeping Worlds,La Cite Des Cloches,The Grid andPrankster's Paradise are arranged to make up a Hidden Mickey. InKingdom Hearts III, the Station of Awakening for the facsimile of theKingdom of Corona in The Final World bears the silhouette around the circumference of its design, as it is where Sora finds Mickey's heart and rescues it from the Lich. Mickey'sAlba & Ater game piece features a Mickey head on the top.

The screen fade forDisney Castle^{[KH II]} andDisney Town^{[KH BbS][KH MoM]} is a Hidden Mickey.

InKingdom Hearts III, the symbol appears across nearly all worlds in the form ofLucky Emblems. While some are true Hidden Mickeys formed by items lining up properly into shape, others are simply the image of the symbol stamped onto the surroundings.

In the real world, Disney placesHidden Mickeys in many of its properties, including Disney theme parks and scenes in many Disney movies.

Book of Prophecies[edit]

The symbol of theBook of Prophecies appears embossed on the cover of the titular book. Similar in design to Terra's mark and the Nobody symbol, it is an ornate heart with an elongated spiked cross at the bottom.

A unique Dive to the Heart station in the menus ofKingdom Hearts Union χ features the emblem. One of the chess pieces that appears inKingdom Hearts III also bears this symbol. It can be seen drawn on a chalkboard inYen Sid's Tower during the events ofKingdom Hearts III.

Gazing Eye[edit]

TheGazing Eye (見つめる目, Mitsumeru Me^?) is a blue eye with acat's eye iris which belongs to theMaster of Masters. He placed it within theNo Name Keyblade, then askedLuxu to pass it down from apprentice to apprentice, eventually reachingXehanort in order to have it observe its surroundings throughout the eons and pass those back to the Master in his own era. Aside from the No Name, the Gazing Eye is also visible in its alternate form asYoung Xehanort's Keyblade, as well as his Clock, while the symbol appears on the Keyblades or Keychain tokens of his other apprentices, theForetellers, as well as those ofXehanort: Vanitas'sVoid Gear, Terra'sChaos Ripper andDarkgnaw, Riku'sSoul Eater andWay to the Dawn, Zexion's copy of the Soul Eater, Riku and Sora'sEnd of Pain, andAnsem, Seeker of Darkness's dual Soul Eater polearm. A red variation of the Gazing Eye is also present in the Fake Attack Card picture, dropped byZexion.

Character symbols[edit]

The Ultimania strategy guides use miscellaneous symbols not used anywhere else to represent certain important characters. Kairi's symbol is made of three small circles superimposed over a thin cross. Naminé is represented by a white flower superimposed over a black four-pointed star, and resembles Roxas's symbol. Both Donald and Goofy are represented by stylized crosses; Donald's is formed by four silhouettes of his mage's hat, while Goofy's seems to be based on the Hidden Mickey symbol on his shield.Jiminy Cricket andPluto's symbols are X-shaped and formed by crossed silhouettes of umbrellas and bones, respectively.Ansem the Wise's symbol is based on the odd, squared cross shape formed by the front of DiZ's cloak.Pete is represented by a stylized silhouette of his own head, andMaleficent's symbol is a cross formed by four silhouettes of her horned hood.

Pete has an additional symbol, a coat of arms seen above his door to Timeless River. The coat of arms is a grayscale shield adorned by the same stylized symbol of Pete's head, two arms with closed fists along the top, a letter "P", a cigar, and another closed fist at its base. Vanitas's crest is depicted as two halves of a gear arranged in an "S" shape, and appears on his and Ventus's fused Dive to the Heart Station, as the Keychain token for both versions of theVoid Gear, and on the portal that initiates the battle with theVanitas Remnant.

Organization XIII weapon symbols[edit]

EachOrganization XIII member has a symbol displaying a black silhouette of his or her exclusive weapon. For members that carry multiple weapons, such asXaldin, only the silhouette of one weapon is shown. However, both of Roxas's Keyblades and three of Larxene's Knives are silhouetted on their personal panels. Xemnas is the only member whose primary weapons, theInterdiction Ethereal Blades, are not silhouetted. Instead, Xemnas is represented by the silhouette of the shield used by his dragon form.

The symbols are used like tombstones to represent each member inProof of Existence and theGarden of Assemblage.

Real Organization XIII weapon symbols[edit]

Eachreal Organization XIII member has a symbol displaying a black silhouette of his or her exclusive weapon. Returning members from the original Organization XIII retain their symbols, with the exception of Xemnas, who acquires a new symbol representing his Interdiction. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, who carries no weapon, is represented by the Heartless emblem instead.

Like the original Organization XIII, the symbols are used to represent each member in theGarden of Assemblagedatascape.
