The shonen-ai/yaoi pairing of Sora and Riku, two major characters from the SquareEnix video games Kingdom Hearts, Kindom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II. Kairi, the female of the trio, is often demonized by frustrated fans who see her as a roadblock in the development of their yaoi. The term is found most commonly in Kingdom Hearts fan-fiction.
