Sora is fourteen years old at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts and lives on the Destiny Islands with his best friends Riku and Kairi, and others including Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka. Sora and his two close friends seek to see the world beyond the islands and begin to build a raft. However, a strange dark force storms the islands and Sora is swept away from his home and separated from his friends. He drifted though the corridors of darkness, an interdimensional pathway, and ended up at a place known as Traverse Town.

Here he meets Donald Duck and Goofy, the respective Royal Court Magician and Captain of the Royal Guard of Disney Castle. They are under direct orders found in a letter left behind by their king, Mickey, who has mysteriously disappeared and is on his own mission conducting an investigation into the darkness that is slowly swallowing world after world, to find Leon and a mysterious "key". The three of them decide to look for their friends together, especially since Donald and Goofy believe Sora will be the one to defeat the dark force because he bears a weapon known as the Keyblade.

In Traverse Town, Sora finds Riku and discovers that neither of them can find Kairi. Riku, seeing that Sora has befriended Donald and Goofy, comes to believe that Sora has forgotten about him and decides to find Kairi on his own. Sora ends up traversing multiple worlds to stop the Heartless, the creatures that embody the darkness, and also rescue the Seven Princesses of Heart, who are the key to opening the final keyhole that will unlock Kingdom Hearts, the objective of the villains controlling the Heartless.

After reaching Hollow Bastion, Sora loses the keyblade to Riku after he was revealed to be the rightful keyblade master. This in turn causes Donald and Goofy to abandon him for Riku as per their orders but loyalty soon brings them back to Sora. Riku loses the keyblade to Sora after he choses darkness over light of his own free will. Enraged he fights Sora but is defeated.

After this, the party encountered Maleficent. She was defeated and was given the power of darkness by Riku who is now possessed by Xehanort's Heartless, the true villain of the game.

When Kairi is revealed to be one of the Seven Princesses of Heart, Sora discovers that Riku believes that her heart has been stolen by the Heartless. In reality, Sora has held Kairi's heart within him since she passed through him in the very beginning. In order to return her heart and make Kairi conscious again Sora uses a dark Keyblade that Riku used to remove his heart and hers, becoming a Heartless himself for a short period before being restored to normal by Kairi's power.

After regrouping in Traverse Town, Kairi gave Sora her lucky charm, since he insisted that she should stay behind while he tried to get Riku back.

Sora and his friends manage to defeat Xehanort's Heartless at End of the World, a place where all the lost worlds that fell into darkness converge. As Sora investigates the door to darkness, Riku and King Mickey appear on the other side of the door and together they seal it from both sides; with Sora's Keyblade from the realm of light and Mickey's Keyblade from the realm of darkness.

As the worlds begin to restore themselves, Kairi and Sora are separated. Sora promises to return to her as soon as he finds Riku and the doorway to light.
