For days now, fans have been wondering who the narrator of the Kingdom Hearts IV announcement trailer actually is. Previously, Nomura hinted that the character narrating the trailer was someone fans knew of but haven’t heard their voice yet. Tetsuya Nomura left a secret message for the KH 20th Anniversary event and the connection between the two is now clear! Thanks to @kh_skrvat, various Japanese fans and the KH13.com team, we now know who the narrator is.

The KH 20th Anniversary secret message from Tetsuya Nomura revealed the following:
“The voice’s identity is Sigurd. Pay close attention.”
The narrator of the Kingdom Hearts IV announcement trailer is Sigurd, a character introduced during the epilogue of Kingdom Hearts Union Cross. Sigurd meets Brain in Scala ad Caelum, the world Ephemer helped build over the remnants of Daybreak Town.
