Soriku is a Slash ship between Sora and Riku in the Kingdom Hearts series.

They had a friendly rivalry and always sparred together with their wooden swords yet they still had a great admiration for each other. Sora and Riku both shared the desire to travel to other worlds and this especially became the case after Kairi arrived. They decided to build a raft together but were eventually sucked away from Destiny Islands by the darkness.

As soon as Sora and Riku ended up in separate worlds, they wanted to find each other. They eventually ran into each in Traverse Town. Sora was happy to see him but Donald said that Riku could not join them so he ran away. Maleficent tried to convince Riku that Sora did not care about him anymore and he seemed to believe this.
