Nomura reveals new KH II info

[Dave]

Included in the Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Ultimania Guidebook, is a seven page interview with the Director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura. Here is one of the questions (translated into english) that is asked and you'll find contained in the answer, brand new information about Kingdom Hearts II:

Question: At the end of Riku's story we see a young kid standing in Twilight Town. Who is he?

Nomura: He is a new character to appear in KHII and he holds a very important part to play too. I will refrain from too much detail but he is suppose to be a playable character. Besides him, many of the secret characters from the previous instalment's secret movies will appear in KHII. I plan to explain what the situations depicted in the secret movies signify.

The new character that Nomura is talking about is the Blonde Haired Kid, that has been seen in different magazine scans and in the Kingdom Hearts II trailer. Later on in the interview Nomura finally confirms that the BHK is the character who is fighting with the two keyblades in the Another Side, Another Story/Deep Dive movie. And also he states that the Blindfolded character shown in the same movie will make an appearance in Kingdom Hearts II.
