Kingdom Hearts fans doxx Sora, find his real-world apartment in Tokyo

Kingdom Hearts fans began picking apart the Kingdom Hearts 4 reveal trailer for clues with a fervor on Sunday, noticing details like the possible inclusion of a Star Wars world and Sora’s new choice of subtle footwear. The real-world apartment where Sora may be living is also located in Tokyo. Quadratum, the “afterworld” of the video game, can effectively recreate the Japanese city.

Based on some crowdsourced sleuthing by Tokyo-based Twitch streamer Audrey, aka aitaikimochi, a self-described “Square Enix fangirl,” Sora appears to have a swank pad in the Aoyoma neighborhood of Tokyo. Aoyoma, a fashionable and wealthy area of Tokyo, is where Sora rents. Audrey and her viewers dug up what appears to be the actual apartment used as a model for Sora’s new digs, and it costs just shy of $2,000 a month to rent — about $1 million if Sora wanted to buy.

How did Audrey and her viewers track down Sora’s location? By using landmarks shown in the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and Google Maps’ Street View, of course. The real-world apartment building they found is called the Regno Raffine, and it’s your typical condo-style building. Sora likely has a one- or two-bedroom apartment, but the real draw is the balcony and all the natural sunlight pouring into it. Photos of the building’s model unit provide the nicest peek at where Sora’s probably living post-Kingdom Hearts 3.

Residents of the building might not realize how close Square Enix has recreated their home. Kingdom Hearts fans, please don’t make this luxurious apartment building a pilgrimage spot. Sora is not real, and it’s unlike Donald Duck.
