Does the name Tetsuya Nomura mean anything to you?
“Master Uta! Master Uta!” The aforementioned Master Uta halted in his stride as Keyblade Apprentice Odin careered around the corner in an effort to catch up to the Keyblade Master, halting in front of the bemused master as he gathered his breath Odin unceremoniously presented Master Uta with a familiar book. “You left it behind in the lecture hall” Master Uta calmly accepted the book with a raised brow, Odin blushed, realizing how rudely he’s interrupted the quiet sanctity of Scala ad Caelum’s hallways by sprinting and shouting. “I couldn't help but notice you signed it differently?” Odin asked in a desperate attempt to change the subject, Master Uta didn't seem to mind luckily being one of the more laid back Keyblade Masters in the order and instead laughed abashedly absently scratching his neat beard “I sometimes write under a pseudonym to avoid the attention” “But why” Odin nearly whined, his own writing efforts nowhere near publishable and somewhat personally aghast at the idea of someone not getting credited with their own achievement. Master Uta grinned slyly “I would hardly be taken seriously as a Keyblade Master if it was known I dabbled in literary fiction” “But it looked really well written!” Odin burst out before slapping his hand over his mouth, mortified at inadvertently revealing he’d been snooping in a Keyblade Masters private documents. Master Uta contrary to being angry as expected instead burst out laughing wiping a tear from his eye “Thank you for the compliment, Apprentice Odin, Though if you liked that then you’d probably appreciate something a little more finished” Master Uta fished another book from his inventory and presented it to Odin with a wink “Consider it a reward for returning my manuscript and a bribe to keep my writing hobby secret” Odin marveled over the crisp hardback book with it’s elaborately detailed cover and had a thought, presenting it to Master Uta embarrassedly “...I don't suppose you’d sign it?” Master Uta smiled bemusedly, wordlessly pulling a pen from his inventory. Tetsuya Nomura, The signature was scarcely dry before Odin was cradling the book like it was the most precious thing in the universe, vibrating so hard in place that Master Uta briefly wondered if he should be worried the apprentice would accidentally phase himself out of reality. The evening bell rang and as Odin sprinted away to his next class with a hurried farewell Master Uta sighed contentedly, It felt nice to write, even under multiple aliases, solely to make someone happy rather than being forced to record all the misery his Gazing Eye seemed to love to show him.
My computer crashed without saving after I typed this the first time so I had to rewrite it again. Yes, I referenced Melody of Memory by making one of MoM!Sora’s aliases ‘Master Uta(song)’ that doesn't mean I’m going to play it. Master Uta is my dodgy attempt at making an anagram of Tetsuya Nomura, my other option was Master Tuoyuan or Master Yuantou so I settled for leaving a few words out.
Keyblade Apprentice Odin would forevermore declare Master Uta the best master ever and when he became a Keyblade Master, Odin would stylize himself after Master Uta with a long beard and leaving only one eye visible. MoM!Sora grows a beard every few centuries whenever he feels like it, being stuck in a relatively youngish body it takes years to grow in properly a fact that never ceases to make him grumpy when brought up.
