    But in Japan it's a girls name, but they gave it to a boy in a Japanese game.

    Well, in D.N.Angel there is a girl named Riku, so apparently, Japanese names are all just what the parents or anime creators want the gender to be. Regardless of what the rest of the world may think or react about.

    There's a guy in Star Wars named Sora....

    And there's another person named Sora somewhere....

    Like Riku,
    it's not a very rare name.

    But it's still sorta Original.

    As for Sora being a girl,
    improbable,
    unless Sora would thus be a "Late bloomer".

    Because Kairi is a year younger than Riku,
    and about the same age as Sora,
    and thus far......
    She's not exactly "Flat".

    I thought it a bit unusual too with Sora's name, because Sora is also the name of a female Digimon character but also a male character in .Hack. I just consider it a name like Jaime or Chris that can be fine for either gender and it works.

    An english translation of Sora is "Sky." If you think about it, the name "Skye" although generally a girl's name can be a boy's name too.

    Riku means "shore" as in, by a beach. I've actually never heard of a real person named Riku in my life...but I hope that helps some what.

    I dont think Nomura cared about genders in terms of naming them...

    Kairi means "Ocean" which is why that bottle was there in the opening trailer and ending of kh2. Kairi's "spirit" is the ocean.

    We havent seen the other guys' "spirits" in play, but Sora = Sky, which can represent Sora and his personality. He follows his heart. Nothing stands in his way. He'll go wherever he feels like he needs to be.

    Riku = shore and shore = land which also shows his personality. Riku is very adamant about things. If he wants something he'll stop at nothing to get it, and he wont let anything change his path, no matter what happens or who he becomes.

    This can show why Riku and Sora are rivals, because Sora just "goes with the flow" and Riku stays. However, you can say that Kairi brings them together because the Ocean is next to land, but it gets its blue color from the sky.

    This is why people thing that Terra (latin for Earth) Ven (short for Ventus which is latin for wind) and Aqua (i think its latin for water...) are related some how to SRK.

    So, you mean, that Sora got this kinda' "girlish" name, because it has something to do with the story?
    *still confused, still scared ._.*

    WHY cant Tetsuya Nomura just let us see Sora and the other guys naked, and then we'll know?
    NO, i am not a pervert, i just gotta know, you knoow! ;o

    Ok so yes, Sora is boy, and Sora can also be a girl. I guess it really just depends on the creatotr of the series.

    yeah, it just depends on who names them is what counts. If he wanted Sora to be named Pickle, then he would've. Reason why we have weirdly named characters today >_>;
