Geppetto

Geppetto is the creator and "father" of Pinocchio. He also has a pet goldfish named Cleo. He appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

Kingdom Hearts
After Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy Cricket are swallowed by Monstro, they encounter Pinocchio and follow the puppet to Geppetto's ship. Geppetto marvels at a Gummi block Pinocchio shows him; he then introduces himself to Sora and his friends and explains how he came to wind up inside Monstro. He does not notice Pinocchio wander off, however; Geppetto asks Sora and the others to locate his son for him.

After teaming up with Riku to defeat the Parasite Cage, a massive Heartless that had swallowed Pinocchio, Sora and friends return to Geppetto's ship in time to see the old man beg Riku to give his son back to him. Geppetto is dismayed when Riku refuses; in the end, however, Sora manages to return Pinocchio to him. Geppetto and Pinocchio manage to escape from Monstro; they come to reside in Traverse Town, where Geppetto sets up a workshop in the First District with aid from Leon.

After Sora defeats Ansem, Geppetto is overjoyed when Pinocchio becomes a real boy.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
During Sora's quest in Castle Oblivion, he encounters a memory-based version of Geppetto within a version of Monstro that is also a figment of his memory. The false Geppetto tells Sora and friends how he came to be swallowed by Monstro; he claims that as long as he and Pinocchio are together, he does not mind where he is. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy notice Pinocchio has gone missing, Geppetto states the puppet is probably off exploring. Sora and the others go off to find Pinocchio; they rescue him from the Parasite Cage and learn that Pinocchio is trying to find a way to escape from Monstro with his father. Sora eventually manages to make Monstro sneeze; this frees both Pinocchio and Geppetto.

Side: Riku
In the dreams of Prankster's Paradise, Geppetto has once again been swallowed by Monstro. He meets Riku and tells the boy how sorry he is to see that Monstro swallowed him, as well. Geppetto reveals that Pinocchio has gone missing; he is delighted when Riku offers to find Pinocchio for him.

Following the defeat of the Char Clawbster, Geppetto is reunited with Pinocchio. He happily embraces the puppet as Riku looks on.
