Characters: Kingdom Hearts Disney Villains
This is a listing of the villains created by Disney that appear in the Kingdom Hearts series. Visit the index here for other characters who appear in the series.

    open/close all folders 


    In General 
A group of classic Disney Villains. In the first game, a group of them conspire under Maleficent's leadership. They are trying to use The Heartless for their own evil means. After that, however, they're far more independent.

Maleficent's original group includes Hades, Jafar, Ursula, Captain Hook, and Oogie Boogie. The second game introduces Captain Hector Barbossa, Shan-Yu, Scar, and the MCP, who aren't aligned with Maleficent, although she attempts to recruit/manipulate a couple.
  • Evil Versus Evil: They got into a hard competition with Organization XIII during the second game. Organization XIII was for quite a time one step ahead, but after Maleficent and Pete joined forces with Sora, King Mickey, and their friends, the Disney villains eventually became the winning side.
  • Large Ham: Noted in each applicable entry, but it should be noted that the group from the original game (Maleficent, Captain Hook, Jafar, Oogie Boogie, Hades, and Ursula, plus the unaffiliated Clayton) might as well be called The Large Hams Band.
  • Legion of Doom
  • Leitmotif: "Villains of a Sort".
  • Unwitting Pawn: They believe they use the Heartless without knowing it's actually the Heartless who use them (or, to be exact, that the Heartless are only complying with them because their REAL leader instructed them to.)


Major Villains

    Maleficent 

Maleficent

"The truth can be most cruel, even amongst the closest of friends."
"What in the world do you think you're prattling on about? Kingdom Hearts belongs to me! The Heart of all Kingdoms! The Heart of all that lives! A dominion fit to be called Kingdom Hearts must be my dominion!"
Voiced by: Toshiko Sawada (Japanese), Susanne Blakeslee (English)

The villain from Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent is an evil fairy hellbent on taking over all worlds in existence. She poses a major threat early on in Sora's adventure, but her plan gets Hijacked By Xehanort before the climax. Unfortunately for Sora and co., you can't keep a good villain down for long...

    Pete 

Pete

"See, it don't matter how tough he is, once he's a Heartless he'll do as I say!"
"Just wait! Nobody, and I do mean nobody, messes with The Mighty Pete!"
Voiced by: Toru Ohira (Japanese), Jim Cummings (English)

There is also Pete. Once a humble steamboat captain, Pete turned to mischief-making until he got out of hand and was banished. He met Maleficent during his inter-dimensional exile and acts as her loyal servant.
  • Anti-Hero: Like Maleficent, they only aided Sora and his friends during the game so that they could gain once the Organization XIII was toppled.
  • Beard of Evil: In the Country of Musketeers.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: At least his past-self, who ain't afraid to accept a fight when someone challenges him, whether it's Sora or his future-self. His future-self is to much of a coward to be this.
  • Butt Monkey
  • Cats Are Mean
  • Character Development: For better or for worse, he went from a well-meaning and essentially decent authority figure to Jerkass attention seeker to cowardly villain (though he still retains some of his mettle). It's shown that he longs for the old days of steam boat captaincy.
  • Chronic Villainy: In the earliest time where he is seen as the true villain, "The Country of the Musketeers", he is arrested in the end by the Royal Musketeers. By the time Terra, Aqua, and Ventus arrive in Disney Town, presumably several years later, he seems to be seen as a relatively reasonable person, enough that it seems as though he was a Reformed Criminal. However, losing to Terra in a race leads to him once again undergoing a Face Heel Turn. Depending on how one interprets Maleficent helping him out of the resulting Pocket Dimension, he may count as a less tragic version of Driven to Villainy as well.
  • Combat Tropes
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: As incompetent as Pete is usually portrayed, he's shown himself to be talented in many areas. He has hand-to-hand fighting abilities, can use explosives and magic, can control Heartless and is proficient with computers. He's also been a Rumble Racer, a steamboat Captain, and of course The Dragon to Maleficent.
  • Dirty Coward: Made clear in the Battle of Hollow Bastion, where he left Maleficent for herself with the Nobodies. Subverted in the end when he was able to conquer his fears in order to help Sora and Mickey gets some time to defeat Xemnas by holding back the Heartless.
    • Know When to Fold 'Em: In all fairness to Pete, he probably is perfectly aware of the fact that he can't really hold his own all that well against Nobodies. He's only following Maleficent because the alternative is worse.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Was temporarily banished to a Pocket Dimension by Queen Minnie for being rude and preparing to attack her for not giving him the victor's prize of ice cream in Disney Town.
  • The Dragon: To Maleficent.
  • Enemy Mine: Twice. His past self put aside his (misunderstood) difficulties with Sora, Donald, and Goofy in order to help them fight his future self, so that he could get his boat back. Later, his present self helped Sora and the King against Xemnas and the Heartless.
  • Evil Chancellor: He was this to Minnie in the past as Captain of the Royal Guard in "Country of the Musketeers".
  • Fat Bastard
  • Fat Cat
  • Fat Idiot
  • Go Karting with Bowser: An interesting version in that despite his obvious, if only slight malevolence, he's still not a bad guy when you race him in Birth By Sleep, having seemingly repented from his villainous days in the Country of the Musketeers (detailed in 3D). In fact, it's the race (or rather the fact that he lost) that causes him to pull a Face Heel Turn (again).
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: "Past-Pete" before his alliance with Maleficent and the Heartless.
  • Large Ham: Particularly as CAPTAIN JUSTICE!!!
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Just like in the film, he has a line to this effect in "Country of the Musketeers" in 3D.
    Captain Pete: How dare you thwart me just in the nick of time!
  • Mascot Mook: The credits state at the end that Pete is one.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Not particularly good at it, but he it's how he sows Heartless throughout the World.
  • Nostalgia Filter: In-Universe. He seems to long for the good old days of steamboat captaincy, but, given the Time Travel to Timeless River and what happens to him, he's probably just thinking it's better than his later situations.
  • Only One Name
  • Retcon: In Kingdom Hearts II, it was stated that King Mickey banished Pete to another dimension, presumably for doing something really bad, and Maleficent broke him out. In Birth By Sleep, however, Pete only throws a hissy fit, and Queen Minnie temporarily banishes him to another dimension "until he cools down" from what seemed to be a preparation to attack her... for ice cream. While there, Maleficent breaks him out in return for his service.
  • Right-Hand Cat: Technically he's this to Maleficent, being a cat.
  • Sentai: In Birth by Sleep.
  • Videogame Cruelty Potential: During his boss fight in Timeless River, if you combo Past!Pete, he will launch into the air and make a shockwave upon landing, he will then get up and yell What's that for!?! before going back into the fray. but it is a bit of a subversion, as it doesn't have any substantial effect on either Pete (Present!Pete recieves little damage if this is done).
  • You Shall Not Pass: In Kingdom Hearts II, during the endgame. He survives.


Dwarf Woodlands

    Evil Queen 

Evil Queen

"That is no concern of yours. Now, heed my words. My radiance is all the light this kingdom needs."
"What I demand is her life. I have had more than enough of her light."
Voiced by: Kyoko Satomi (Japanese), Susan Blakeslee (English)

Voiced by: Kyusaku Shimada (Japanese), James Woods (English)

  • Beam Spam: It fires icicle shards as its main attack, and fires a lot of them.
  • Breath Weapon: Which can turn you into a Human Popsicle.
  • Bonus Boss
  • Dem Bones
  • Expy: Hades employs the "Ice Colossus", a weaker clone of the Ice Titan, in Birth By Sleep (the genuine article is still under lock and key at that point).
  • Level Grinding: A famous use for it, as each time you deflect an icicle you get 24 exp. You're likely to get more exp from the icicles than you do for killing the Ice Titan itself.
  • Only Known By Its Title: Its name, Hydros, is never mentioned in any of the games.
  • Sleep Mode Size: After Sora beats it, it loses so much mass it has to run away before he steps on it.
  • Tennis Boss: Ice Titan is out of range of Sora's normal attacks, so you have to deflect its icicles at its head to knock it down.
  • The Voiceless


Deep Space

    Jumba Jookiba 

Dr. Jumba Jookiba

"Impossible! Pshah! He has no actual feelings—only destructive instincts I have carefully chosen for him. Or perhaps you need another demonstration of my evil geniusness!"
"I am innocent scientist who created galaxy's most destructive – er, constructive species of all time."
Voiced by: Shozo Iizuka (Japanese), David Ogden Stiers (English)

"Any last words before I blast you into a million pieces?"
Voiced by: Unsho Ishizuka (Japanese), Kevin Michael Richardson (English)
A very large captain in the Galactic Federation's army. He takes his responsibilities seriously, but his hotheaded attitude results in frequent failures.
  • Fantastic Racism: Toward Stitch. He refuses to believe Stitch is capable of anything but havoc, and eventually decides to go against his orders and execute the little guy - and Aqua when she defends him.
  • Hero Antagonist: Though he does become progressively less reasonable and heroic over the course of the Deep Space story.
  • Good Old Fisticuffs
  • I Am Big Boned: When he comes to get the prisoners, Stitch makes a remark in his gibberish language, prompting Gantu to yell "I'M JUST BIG-BONED!".

Jafar's boisterous and cunning parrot. He's Jafar's eyes and ears for everything going on in Agrabah
  • The Atoner: In the second game.
  • Butt Monkey
  • Celebrity Voice Actor: Gilbert Gottfried, as usual. Notable, in that he's one of the few well-known actors from the Disney movies to reprise his character.note 
    • Not really true. Disney managed to get back several original actors from the films – the ones who were still alive, at any rate. Gottfried's presence in particular isn't a shock since he does a lot of voice work. The actors they couldn't get back are mainly A-listers. In fact, the Final Fantasy characters have more vocal substitutions.
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Dirty Coward: Regardless of his side of the conflict.
  • Heel Face Turn: Though he's still proves to be a Dirty Coward in the sequel despite being the heroes' friends.

"We don't need users."

  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot
  • Boss Banter: He doesn't attack on his own (he only can do so through in-built defensive measures), so rather than fight, he taunts you during the battle. And he never. Shuts. Up!
    "Insignificant user!"
    "Is that the best a user can do?"
    "I can repair that data..."
    "Eliminate all threats!"

"You best start believin' in ghost stories, Miss Turner. For, ya see, tonight — you're in one!"
Voiced by: Haruhiko Jo (Japanese), Brian George (English), Geoffrey Rush (English - Australian release)

Voiced by: Chikao Ohtsuka/Naoya Uchida (Japanese), Corey Burton (English)
Captain Hook is the leader of the pirates who sail the waters of Neverland, and Peter Pan's arch nemesis.
  • Badass Normal: He has no supernatural powers, darkness or otherwise, and uses only his sword and bombs to fight. He's still one of the highest ranking villains in Maleficent's crew, and his boss fights are usually among the tougher ones.
  • Bling of War: He wears an expensive red pirate coat with a big hat to fit his captain status.
  • Cool Boat: In the first game Riku hitches a ride on it to cross into other worlds.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Yes he's a bumbling, cowardly fool who can't even beat a kid, but when pushed enough...oh boy, he sure knows how to slit people apart with that sword and hook.
  • Dirty Coward
  • The Dragon: He seemed to be this to Maleficent in the first game, only out-ranked by her and Jafar and, later, Riku.
  • Hook Hand
  • Large Ham
  • Last Name Basis: Everyone calls him "Captain Hook" or "Hook". His given name (James) isn't even well known by most audiences.
  • Master Swordsman
  • Manipulative Bastard
  • Not So Harmless Villain: Just because he wimps out when the Croc visits, it doesn't mean he can't fight with a sword.

  • Pirate
  • Throw Down The Bomblet: Disguised as presents just like in the movie.
  • Unstoppable Rage: After he has his ass handed to him by Sora long enough, he'll snap, turn berserk during the middle part of the boss fight, and then chase after Sora like a madman, ignoring his own swordsman professionalism in exchange for wild, brutal swings in an attempt to kill him.

    Julius

  • Elemental Punch: Electric version.
  • Expy: Of Pete.
  • Frankenstein's Monster
  • Handicapped Badass: Has a peg leg.
  • Interface Screw: If he is electrified, he can temporarily lock away one of your commands when he climbs, and then jumps down from the building, bouncing towards you in the arena you fight him in. Hope the command isn't from the "Cure" series.
  • Lightning Bruiser
  • Shock and Awe
  • SNK Boss: His attacks hit ridiculously hard (as in, H Pto One) and usually can't be blocked, and he has really fast combos. His attacks also move him all over the place, so he's incredibly hard to run away from. And he can jump to just about anywhere in the area and attack from any angle. And later in the fight, he channels lightning, so all his attacks then have ridiculous hitboxes. And some of his attacks can disable your own commands.
  • Unexpected Character: Unlike some of the other reveals and characters in 3D, virtually nobody expected to see Julius, least of all as the secret boss.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: His attacks are basic, but very effective.
  • Wrestler in All of Us: Using punches, elbow drops, charging tackles, and a punch barrage close to a spinning clothesline.
