List of Hunter × Hunter characters

The Hunter × Hunter manga series, created by Yoshihiro Togashi, features an extensive cast of characters. It takes place in a fictional universe where licensed specialists known as Hunters travel the world taking on special jobs ranging from treasure hunting to assassinations.

The story initially focuses on 11-year-old Gon Freecss and his quest to become a Hunter in order to find his father, Ging, himself a famous Hunter. On the way, Gon meets and becomes close friends with Killua Zoldyck, Kurapika and Leorio Paradinight, who all aim to become Hunters as well, and catches the attention of the murderous magician Hisoka.

After becoming licensed, they clash with a gang of thieves known as the Phantom Troupe, before Gon and Killua enter the video game Greed Island in search of clues to find Ging. The two then immediately get involved in stopping the man-eating Chimera Ants from taking over mankind.

Kurapika, Leorio and the other Zodiacs, a group of high-ranking Hunters, then begin escorting the Kakin Royal Family and Beyond Netero on an expedition to the unexplored Dark Continent. However, the ship ride is the start of a deadly game of succession among the princes to determine who will be the next king of Kakin.

Although most characters are human, most possess superhuman strength and/or supernatural abilities due to Nen, the ability to control one’s own life energy or aura. The world of the series also includes fantastical beasts such as the Chimera Ants.

Best Hunter x Hunter Characters, Ranked

Who is your favorite Hunter x Hunter characters?

Killua Zoldyck

Killua Zoldyck is the deuteragonist of the anime/manga series Hunter × Hunter. He is the middle child of the Zoldyck Family and best friend of Gon Freecss.

Killua Zoldyck is the third child of Silva and Kikyo Zoldyck and the heir (former) of the Zoldyck Family. He is the deuteragonist of the series Hunter x Hunter.

Killua is introduced as a character similar to Gon: cheeky, cheerful, and full of bad ideas. However, contrasting Gon’s politeness, Killua can be pretty rude to others, mostly strangers and older people. He is also one of the quickest-thinking characters and often analyzes a situation with great ease and accuracy. Despite his young age, his way of thinking, knowledge, and pragmatism give him the attitude of an adult. He is initially very confident about his abilities and able to gauge other people’s abilities accurately.

A stark contrast to his best friend Gon, Killua is highly mature in both thinking and emotion. He can keep his anger in check and maintain rationality better than Gon even when facing a terrifying experience.

Gon Freecss

Gon Freecss is a Rookie Hunter and the son of Ging Freecss. Finding his father is Gon’s motivation in becoming a Hunter.

(ゴン゠フリークス, Gon Furīkusu)

He has been the main protagonist for most of the series, having said role in the Hunter Exam, Zoldyck Family, Heavens Arena, Greed Island, and Chimera Ant arcs.

Gon wants to become a Hunter because he wishes to find out the depths of an occupation that would cause a father to choose the profession over being with his own son.

Gon is an athletic, rustic, and friendly boy who is searching for adventure. Also, he is not very good at math. However, having spent a lot of time in the woods as a child, he is very good with animals. Simultaneously, his flaws lie in his temper and impulsive nature. Gon sometimes fails to think things through and such actions lead to him suffering. Though possessing talent far beyond the norm for his age, anytime his abilities are challenged, he feels as if he has to prove his antagonist wrong.

Kurapika

Kurapika is the last survivor of the Kurta Clan. He is a Blacklist Hunter and the current leader of the organization founded by Light Nostrade. He is a member of the Zodiacs with the codename “Rat” ( 子 ね , Ne). His goal is to avenge his clan and recover the remaining Scarlet Eyes.

The Kurta tribe was an isolated group of people whose eyes would turn scarlet when angered or excited. These scarlet eyes were known to be beautiful, being one of the seven most beautiful in the world.

Because of this, the Kurta tribe was constantly pursued and eventually massacred. The eyes of the tribe members were all taken away during the massacre. Kurapika is so far the only known survivor with a heart bent on revenge. He strives to have his revenge against the Phantom Troupe as well as recover the eyes of his tribe members.

Despite having a heart full of hatred, Kurapika is very kind and loyal towards his friends. He is an extremely intelligent person but at the same time reckless. Kurapika is from the materialization nen group and from determination, increased the power of his nen ability to the point that it was formidable against the Phantom Troupe.

Kurapika can conjure a unique weapon — five chains that extend from each finger on his right hand. Some of the fingers were specially designed to deal vengeance on the Phantom Troupe. To increase his effectiveness against the formidable Phantom Troupe, Kurapika places strict Limitations on the usage of his chains. The purpose of the chain on Kurapika’s index finger has yet to be revealed.

Hisoka

Hisoka Morow, also known as Hisoka, Hisoka the Magician and Grim Reaper, is one of the main antagonists of the anime/manga series Hunter x Hunter.
Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter is a playground featuring many odd characters, but no one is more bizarre than Hisoka Morow. In fact, he’s such a puzzling being that no one knows how his last name is actually spelled. Is it Morow, Morrow, Morou, or Moro? We can’t give you a surefire answer, but the ambiguity certainly correlates with the magician’s personality.

Meruem

Meruem was the most powerful offspring of the Chimera Ant Queen. He was known as the “King” (王, Ō) of the Chimera Ants, and served as the main antagonist of the Chimera Ant arc.
The chimera ant King, Meruem is the most powerful offspring of the chimera ant Queen.

Netero

Isaac Netero was the 12th Chairman of the Hunter Association and the Head of the Exam Commission. In his youth, he was extolled as the most powerful Nen user in the world, and retained dreadful strength even in his old age.
He is voiced by Bunmei Tobayama in the Japanese version of the 1999 anime and Paul Hudson in the English version, while in the 2011 anime he is voiced by the late Ichirō Nagai from 2011-2013 and Banjo Ginga from 2014 onwards. In the English version of the 2011 anime, he is voiced by John Snyder.

Kaito

Kite was a Hunter and Ging Freecss’ student. After their death, they were reborn as a Chimera Ant and Meruem’s twin sibling. Colt named them Reina (レイナ, Reina), after his late sister, but they took to calling themself Kite once again.
Kite was a tall, slender man in his late twenties or early thirties. In the manga and the 2011 anime, he was thin to the point of being gaunt, with long, flowing white hair with the longer locks reaching his knees. He had an inverted triangle shaped face with a hooked nose, a pointy chin and big, roundish-almond eyes with small hazel irises. He wore a light blue peaked cap resembling a beret, a long-sleeved white shirt with a turtleneck, an azure sash (perhaps an obi) wound three times about his waist, black pangs and brown shoes.

Kuroro Lucifer

Chrollo Lucilfer is the founder, leader, and member #0 of the Phantom Troupe. His physical strength ranked seventh among the group.
Chrollo is a young man with black hair and grey eyes. Two of his distinguishing features are the cross-shaped tattoo on his forehead and a pair of orb-shaped earrings. He is usually seen wearing a dark purple coat that has white fur on the collar and wrists, unbuttoned to reveal his muscular physique. The coat is imprinted with a golden St. Peter’s Cross on the back.
Chrollo Lucilfer is a calm, handsome young man, coming across as intelligent and charismatic. He seems to be a born leader, able to hold the Genei Ryodan together despite the volatile personalities that make up the group, and is well versed in strategies.

Feitan

Feitan Portor is member #2 of the Phantom Troupe. His physical strength ranked fifth among the group. After defeating Zazan, Feitan became the de facto leader of the Troupe until Chrollo’s return.

A mysterious member of the Genei Ryoudan, Feitan is attired in what one would expect from a bandit—dark clothes with a skullhead scarf that covers his mouth. Feitan seldom speaks, but when he does, usually there’s a word missing. Feitan’s first language most likely isn’t Japanese, but he has shown to be rather proficient in the Chinese language. He is one of the original members hailing from Ryūseigai. After Feitan’s victory over Zazan in Ryūseigai, he has been granted temporary control over the Genei Ryoudan.

Feitan is an assassin down to his core, and is quite skilled at his profession. His movement is incredibly fast; Feitan is able to leave afterimages of his body due to his rapid steps. He wields an umbrella that conceals both a sword and a gun that fires needles inside for hidden attacks.

Nen Abilities

Pain Packer: the ability allows Feitan to first use his aura to materialize a protective armor. Then, all of the damage that he has received in battle into scorching heat (named “Rising Sun”) and is emitted into the air. The emitted nen transforms into a miniature sun that burns the victim to death. Rising Sun has a very large attack radius, and while Feitan is within his armor he will not be harmed by the fire.

Alluka Zoldyck

Alluka is a pretty complex character in Hunter x Hunter, so there are some questions that may need to be answered.
Alluka is revealed only much later in Hunter x Hunter, despite being part of the Zoldyck family, simply because the entity within her, Nanika, is currently “uncontrollable.” Her own father dismisses her as “emotionless,” but Killua clearly sees that his sister wants nothing more than someone to care for her.
An old photograph of the Zoldycks shows Kikyo with Illumi, Milluki, Killua, and Kalluto pleasantly facing the camera, but Alluka is clearly located away from the rest of them. Not that it matters what her family thinks about her, anyway, because Killua is the only one whose attention she seeks.
