For many of us, Hayden Panettiere's voice as Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts franchise was a defining part of our childhood. Her performance added to the magic that made Kingdom Hearts such a beloved series. However, recent developments have seen her replaced, much to our disappointment. 

Hayden Panettiere voiced Kairi from 2002 until 2012, contributing significantly to three main games and several spin-offs during this period. Her unique voice acting brought life and depth to Kairi's character that resonated with millions of fans worldwide.

The decision to replace her has been met with widespread disapproval from fans who grew up associating her voice with Kairi's character. We believe that reinstating Hayden Panettiere would not only honor the legacy of the franchise but also satisfy its loyal fan base. This is also to not have Alyson Stoner leave her role as Xion/Kairi, but to have her solely as Xion again.

We urge Disney and Square Enix, as custodians of this cherished franchise, to consider our plea for authenticity and continuity in their casting choices. Please reinstate Hayden Panettiere as the voice behind Kairi for future installments in the Kingdom Hearts series.
