Who is Brain in Kingdom Hearts?

During the Kingdom Hearts 20th Anniversary event, developer Square Enix showed off several exciting new titles set within the beloved franchise. In them, fans saw the return of a pivotal character intent on breaking the system.

Brain is a keyblade wielder that first appeared in Kingdom Hearts Union X. He is also a member of the Dandelions and was chosen by the Master of Masters to lead a Union following the Keyblade War. In stark contrast to other Union leaders, Brain set out to use the book given to him by Ava to become an agent for change.

Brain is an important figure within the lore and grand story of Kingdom Hearts. Dependent on where Kingdom Hearts 4 decides to go with its story, fans of the character may see his return there. However, based on the similar art style and it being a finale to the story in which he appeared, he is more likely to show up in Union X Dark Road which is coming to Android and iOS in August of 2022.

While those two are pure speculation, fans were treated to a 3D render of Brain in the Missing-Link trailer. Missing-Link is coming to Android and iOS in 2022 as a closed beta test.
