Although the director of the series, Tetsuya Nomura, has stated that there are no in-game relationships, there is evidence to support a theory of love between Sora and Kairi that goes past common friendship. There is argument that they are merely best friends, but according to evidence shown in the game, Sora and Kairi might both have some romantic feelings for each other. Although it is entirely mutual, here is some of the evidence from Kairi's side:

  • During the sunset before the Heartless invasion of Destiny Islands, Kairi tells Sora "Don't ever change."
  • When Sora sacrifices his own heart to restore hers, Kairi is visibly shaken and refuses to believe that Sora may be dead, shouting "No, he can't be. I won't let him go!"
  • During their escape from Hollow Bastion on the first visit, Kairi hugs Sora (who is still a Heartless) to protect him while she, Donald, and Goofy are attacked by numerous Shadows.
  • When Sora decides to go back to Hollow Bastion for Riku, Kairi gave him her lucky charm and tells him "Don't ever forget. Wherever you go, I'm always with you."
  • In the ending sequence to the first Kingdom Hearts, she is genuinely moved to tears after seeing that Sora had made the drawing of him extending a Paopu Fruit to her in their Secret place. After that, she draws herself giving Sora a Paopu fruit.
  • Throughout Chain of Memories, though she doesn't physically appear, her image spurred Sora on and even Naminé said that she was "the one he truly cared for" when she apologized for re-writing his memories of her.
  • She wouldn't go to the small island until she remembered everything about Sora.
  • Almost immediately after her communication with Roxas, she sent adrift to sea a letter she wrote for Sora the day before.
  • After telling her story to the Twilight Town Trio, Olette comments "What a romantic story!"
  • While imprisoned in World That Never Was, she blamed herself for the Organization going after Sora.
  • When trying to escape with Naminé and asked by Saïx if she wanted to see Sora, she replies "I do, more than anything."
  • When she finds Sora, she attempts to attack the Shadow Heartless unarmed while trying to assist him.
  • When they reunite, Kairi quickly runs over and hugs Sora to make sure that he is really there.
  • Shortly after, if a player talks with Kairi, she says "I wanted to see you so badly. I missed you so much!" to Sora.
  • While escaping from the Castle That Never Was, Kairi tells Roxas and Naminé that she and Sora will be together every day.

Here is some evidence from Sora's side:

  • Riku tosses Sora a Paopu fruit and says "C'mon, I know you wanna try it," after explaining the legend.
  • He became visibly flustered and embarrassed when Riku said that the winner of their race would share a paopu fruit with Kairi, and gave Riku a dirty look afterwards.
  • He draws himself giving her a Paopu fruit in their Secret Cave, which is a symbol between lovers on their world.
  • He willingly stabbed himself with the Keyblade of People's Hearts to release Kairi's heart, knowing what would happen to him in the process.
  • Upon being restored by Kairi from his Heartless form, Sora tenderly embraces and thanks her.
  • After sealing Kingdom Hearts, Sora tells Kairi "I'm always with you too. I'll come back to you, I promise!"
  • When Sora, Donald, and Goofy first go to The Pride Lands (they turned into animals, Sora was a lion cub) Donald said to Sora, "If Kairi saw you she would think you were cute!" and Sora blushed.
  • In Riku's story of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, a cutscene shows Larxene telling Naminé that her work will eventually make Sora forget about Kairi. Naminé states, however, that his feelings for her will only grow stronger.
  • When Naminé admits that she and Sora were never friends, Sora sadly replies, "We were never anything... more than that, either"; as Sora's memories of Kairi had been replaced with false ones of Naminé, his feelings for Kairi had effectively transferred to Naminé.
  • In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Xion takes Kairi's form because of Sora's strong feelings for her.
  • During Kairi's telepathic meeting with Roxas, he tells her "I know you. You're that girl he (Sora) likes."
  • He blushes after seeing Will and Elizabeth hug in Port Royal, thinking of Kairi. Donald and Goofy notice this and tease him, and he covers his face in embarrassment.
  • He becomes deeply saddened when he hears of Kairi's kidnapping by Axel and blames himself for allowing it to happen.
  • During the Heartless Invasion of Hollow Bastion, Sora gets down on his knees and begs Saïx to take him to Kairi. Beforehand, Saïx asked "Is she that important to you?" and Sora replied "More than anything."
  • He imagines himself dancing with her after the second visit to Halloween Town.
  • When they reunite in the World That Never Was, Kairi quickly runs over and hugs Sora, who hugs her back after recovering from his shock.
  • In the World That Never Was, as Ansem sacrifices himself, Sora attempts to protect Kairi from the bright light by wrapping his arm around her.
  • She is frequently identified as his most important person, and his light.

Sora and Kairi do NOT kiss at all. There is N-O kiss between the both of them in KHII: Final Mix. All those pictures of "Sora & Kairi" 'actually' kissing are p h o t o s h o p p e d.

from a person who played all 41/2 games. ...keep dreamin kid. kh is gonna be rated E for a long time and so they won't show that unless its just a pec on the cheek. sorry. yeah. i wish roxas would kiss nami too.T.T

i know this kinda off topic but considering POKEMON and the whole *i want ash to grow up and kiss someone* that they've had for years it might not happen for a while

don't get me wrong im like hoping beyond hope that they kiss in khIII

*edited by XxGaMeR718* Don't listen to what this guy said it is most likely they're gonna kiss because if you remember Paopu Fruit Sora draw and Kairi later drew... plus even if its rated E I've seen lots of games of them With the hero kissing there love and also at the end of kingdom hearts both 1 and 2 you see half of the Disney characters kissing so end of discussion.

YES ABOUSLTY! But Kairi loves Axel so yeah you now how that goes. Sorry riku. :(

Wow she so likes Axel But I'm not so sure if Riku likes Her...

I don't think he does I mean their friends but they are not as close as they seem to appear yes he is a lot closer with Sora (Yaoi?) but i think he woulden't like anything to happen to her cause their friends but love i think is a little extreme and imagine all the time they missed together when Sora was on his journey and Riku was in the darkness, i mean she was just on the Island.

And her with Axel I think that is just Viewers Choice.
