Comparing Moana and Kairi

[Hoshiko Hikari 300]

Has anyone else noticed that there are a number of similarities between Moana and Kairi? Of course they look completely different and come from different cultures but they have quite a few other things in common when you think about it. Here's the list of things I've come up with. See if you agree with me:

 

1. Both Moana and Kairi have names meaning "Ocean". 

 

2. They both live on tropical islands.

 

3. They both wished to sail away and see what lay beyond their island despite being happy where they lived.

 

4. They're both the daughters of the island's "chief" (Kairi's the adopted daughter of the mayor).

 

5. They're both referred to as princesses.

 

6. They both had grandmothers who told them stories of a spreading darkness over the world along with a prediction that one day that darkness will be defeated.

 

7. They both like seashells

 

8. They're both athletic, brave, smart, demonstrate leadership skills and are strong willed yet also kind and empathetic.

 

9. They both possess special "hearts" that impact on the fate of the world (the heart of Te Fiti and Kairi's heart of pure light).   

 

10. They both appear to mainly have male friends.

 

I could probably think of other things (like how they both sit on bent over trees by the sea) but that might be stretching it a bit far. The point is if Moana appeared in KH3 I think she could become Kairi's best friend.

I don't think Moana will be in KH3 it is to recent. The worlds are going also to be very large.

So I say no.

Wow they do share some similarities. I think Moana would be a great addition into the Kingdom Hearts series but I doubt it because the movie is still pretty recent. Maybe it could make an appearance in Kingdom Hearts 4 or new side-story game with Kairi as the main protagonist.

With Big Hero 6 being the last game they decided to pick up for KH3 (and that was back in 2015 I think), it's nearly impossible Moana will be picked up for KH3. It's a shame, it really fits KH3 and I love the similarities between Kairi and Moana you pointed out.

Dang, those are some pretty accurate similarities between the two characters! This goes without saying that if the two indeed met, they would become fast friends! The things that familiarize them would probably be what draws them together towards friendship!

I think moana might have a chance to appear in kh3 but not with the main game from the get go I think It might be added as dlc.

Exactly, my friend!

 

Who knows? In the near future, be it in Kingdom Hearts III or the next saga, we could see Moana!

Also, "wayfinder" is an arc word for both characters.
