With Sora, Nomura wants to give players the message that even though they are not "important people", they have the opportunity to accomplish great things.
One of the main concepts of Sora's character in the series is that, according to Nomura, he is a normal boy instead of a supernatural being, even though he is deeply connected with other characters from the series. Because Sora was a new character in the first Kingdom Hearts, Square added Final Fantasy characters who support the protagonist. The design was further reworked after a talk with the Disney staff, and Nomura finished it after a night's work. He was also designed with lion-like features, which were removed as the staff found them to be similar to those of Final Fantasy IX protagonist Zidane Tribal. Sora originally wielded a weapon resembling a chainsaw however, the weapon was not well received by Disney, which led Nomura to redesign the weapon into a Keyblade. Nomura designed Sora with the concepts of the Disney characters in mind, basing his outfit on Mickey Mouse's trademark white gloves, red shorts and giant yellow shoes. He was not originally slated to be the protagonist, as Disney wanted Donald Duck to fill the role, while Square wanted Mickey Mouse. Sora was designed by Tetsuya Nomura as the protagonist of Kingdom Hearts.
