Japanese pages on the left, English translations on the right.
One small note about the Ansem Report quoted on the first page. I looked up and quoted the official English text of the relevant report, rather than giving my own translation of the Japanese. But an alternate translation could go something like, "There are reports of people who have the Keyblade who have appeared in the past and saved the world, or have brought chaos." Which obviously sounds terribly awkward, but after having seen certain other debates around here I thought it was worth pointing out two things:
1) The word 'wield' isn't used, it's literally "person having/holding a Keyblade"
2) The Japanese is more ambiguous than the English, and neither specifically talks about a single Keyblade wielder, nor a male one.
