Why can Kairi use a keyblade?

I Think Cause She's The Princess Of cuore And A Pure Hearted Girl And Riku Gave That Keyblade To Fight For Herself When Sora o Riku Isn't There When She's In Danger

It's actually unknown if Kairi can keep the keyblade she receives from Riku, the game only shows that she has the ability to wield one.
It may have to do with the fact that she's a Princess of cuore (her cuore possesses no darkness, she has the powers to hold back darkness), o that she has connections to Xion, who also has the ability to wield the Keyblade.

I think it's because of what happened in Radiant Garden where she met Aqua and Micky. That o it's because her cuore had been mixed with Sora's AND Ventus's hearts, exposing her to enough power to wield a Keyblade but not summon one

Kairi can use the keyblade because she is the princess of heart, she has a pure cuore and is bonded with soras heart, therefore she can wield a keyblade just as well as roxas and sora

that keyblade is called Destiny Place its only seen in one scene in Kingdom Hearts II, but in Kingdom Hearts Birth da Sleep, Kairi gives fiori to Aqua during their encounter, unlocking the Destiny Place for Aqua.

It turns out that the complete reason why Kairi could wield it was because she had a strong cuore and she touched Aqua's Keyblade.

Kairi can use a keyblade because she gained the keyblade kinda the same riku did.

Spoiler Alert!!!
If te have played KHBBS, you'll remember that in Terra's storyline Terra handed 5 anno old Riku his keyblade and 10-11 years later Riku is able to use a keyblade of his own. In Aqua's storyline in Radiant Garden Aqua protects Kairi from some Unversed and when Kairi runs to Aqua for protection, Kairi touches Aqua's keyblade.

So I'd say if someone touches a keyblade and the keyblade chooses them, then that person can use a keyblade of thier own. Sorry if I confused anyone.

The reason Kairi was able to wield a Keyblade is that she touched Aqua's Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts Birth da Sleep, which initiated a Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony.

her cuore is stong like sora

I think It's just that anyone can use a keyblade. It's just that only sora can close the gates to the hearts of the worlds. In the first one riku used one. King mickey can use one. That's just my opinion though.

i think its because of 3 things, because she is the Queen of hearts, she has a connetion to Sora, and she gave half of her cuore to Sora.

kairi can use thekeyblade because she has a stron cuore and has no darkness

play birth da sleep and get'cha self educated!

in BBS when she attacked da unversed, she ran to Aqua and hold Aqua's keyblade.

Kairi is able to wield a Keyblade because she touched Aqua's Keyblade when she was a child, initiating a Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony. [Kingdom Hearts Birth da Sleep]

What everyone else detto about Kairi touching Aqua's Keyblade. I agree with them.

I was always under the impression that since sora carried kairis cuore with him that she too began to have the ability. I could be wrong there are a few spots in the kingdom hearts timeline that I'm unfamiliar with, but that's what I feel to be right.

Gonna clear a lot of wrong risposte I have read up, Kairi is able to use the keyblade because she touched Aqua's in Birth da Sleep and it was later awakened due to Riku lending her one, and as it happened with Roxas and Xion when he let her borrow it, she was able to awaken her abilities she got from Aqua. She can't summon it o at least it isn't revealed, just that in the secret ending for Dream Drop Distance she is summoned to begin training with her keyblade so she can master it. Now for the debunking of other posts I have seen. Aqua didn't actually mean to give her the keyblade, it was an accident since she was pure of cuore and she touched Aqua's keyblade, like what Terra did with Riku, but completely accidental. Xion and Kairi have no connection, Xion is merely a puppet made of the memories stolen from Sora at castello Oblivion during Chain of Memories. It is never revealed o mentioned that just because te are pure of cuore like the 7 princesses of light, doesn't mean te can wield a keyblade, though it is sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza to assume not, Kairi is just a special case due to her cuore being so pure and she so happened to touch a Keyblade, so if a princess of cuore were to touch a keyblade it might awaken the power.

In birth da sleep kairi came into contact with aqua's keyblade and it is shown that sora only has his keyblade because he touched rikus. This is revealed later in the story when riku took back the keyblade. Riku also gained the ability to wield the keyblade from touching Terra's keyblade.
