Hunter × Hunter minor characters

Encyclopedia : H : HU : HUN : Hunter × Hunter minor characters

This page is about the minor characters from the fictional anime/manga series Hunter × Hunter. There are separate pages for Hunter x Hunter main characters, Members of the Phantom Brigade (Genei Ryodan), and Hunters.

Contents

Anita (No. 111)

Note: Anita is a character that appears only in the anime version of Hunter x Hunter, and does not exist in the original manga version.

As a result of tracking down the assassins who had killed her father, Anita sneaked up onto the Hunter blimp as an illegal stowaway. Her main target-- to attack Killua, as his family was responsible for the murder. Yet, she ultimately realised her mistake as she found out that the much beloved father she knew was actually a prominent drug-trafficker in the black market, who had made many enemies. The assassins were merely doing their job and should not be held responsible for his death. Having this revelation, Anita parted amicably from the Exam.

Abengane

He is a nen remover who can summon a creature to remove curses to himself or to other users. First appearing during the Greed Island arc, Hisoka finds Abengane and hires him to remove the curse placed on Chrollo by Kurapika. We are unaware if he will be able to or not, nor do we know if he has done so.

Battera

Multi-billionaire that spent most of his fortune to buy as many games of Greed Island at the York Shin Auction. He later hired several hunters to play the game. The reward for winning the game was several thousand Jenis.

It was discovered that Battera needed the Archangel's Breath card from Greed Island to heal his terminally ill lover. However, she passed away before the game was completed, and the reward disappeared as well.

Bodoro (No. 191)

A strict, stubborn old man, Bodoro wishes only to fight against adults, not little kids as what he deemed Gon and Killua to be, when interviewed with Netero. Managing to reach the final stage, he was unluckily at the receiving end of Killua's sudden outburst of violence, and was killed as a result.

Biscuit Krueger

Biscuit first comes into the story in Greed Island. Although she appeared to be a little girl, she is actually an extremely fit and muscular woman, to the point that Killua calls her "gorilla." She helps Gon and Killua train while they are at Greed Island, leading them closer to the end of the game. Her goal in the game was to get the gem found only in that game, Blue Planet. She prefers to be called "Bisuke".

It is found out later that she was the teacher of Wing-san, who is currently the teacher of Zushi and first taught Nen to Gon and Killua.

Bisucit transmutes an assistant by the name of Ms. Yoshi, who can give a "piano massage" that allows a person to sleep for three hours and feel as if he/she had a full eight hours of sleep. While this ability hasn't been shown useful to actual combat, it can really impact training speeds and allow more time to get it completed.

Diego

Gensuru

a.k.a Bomber

Among the hunters(players) of the Greed Island game, Gensuru firstly appeared as a member of the grandoise allied players. He played a role as an informer and perhaps a high position member of the group for the last 5 years. It was later revealed that he placed a Nen time bomb on every members of the allied group, threatening to exchanged their lives for all the designated cards they hold. Sadistic and evil, he did not kept his promise to the end and detonated his Nen time bombs, as a result killing all the members of the allied group.

Gensuru was later accompanied by his own teammates, Sabu and Bara, and continued to amass the rest of the designated cards to end the game through any means. He was later defeated by Gon's party in a mano-a-mano, where Gon spotted his weakness and overconfidence.

"Countdown" is a destructive curse type nen, where Gensuru places an invisible "time bomb" onto an opponent through saying a secret word (which is "bomber"). To reveal and begin the countdown of the bomb, he has to explain how this skill works as a condition of activation. In order to remove the time bomb, while making contact with Gensuru an opponent must say "I caught bomber." "Little Flower" is a smaller explosive type skill that he uses in close combat by grabbing targets with his hands. Using a type of Kou, Gensuru focuses the aura to his hands in order to create an explosion where he touches his opponent. It is incredibly destructive as well, as shown when the ability blew up Gon's hands. The weakness of this skill is that Gensuru has to protect his own hands with nen while using it, thus leaving the rest of his body less protected of nen aura.

Geretta (Gereda) (No. 384)

A man with some African origins, Geretta is adept in hunting down animals, and is a frequent candidate for the Exam. His weapon is a blowpipe with darts laced with a neurological poison that immobilises victims. He can track down his victim and lie undetected in the shadows, until opportunity strikes before he makes the deadly move. Gon was the unfortunate victim in stage 4, and had his number tag taken from him. Even more unfortunate was the eventual fate of Geretta, who was killed by the hands of Hisoka, being Hisoka's target.

Guido

Illumi Zoldyck

Killua's eldest brother. He is an experienced assassin and had camouflaged his appearance with another identity during the Hunter Exam which Killua also undertook. An oppressive evil aura about him makes even Killua fearful and wary whenever he approaches Illumi.

It's hard not to imagine why Illumi elicits such a feeling from his younger brother- his face is a mask, expressionless- no-one can fathom the thoughts or feelings of Illumi. His eyes are black pools of nothingness, like a black hole which sucks everything in, emitting no light of its own. Coupled with his lightning-quick and bulls-eye control of his signature pins, that can kill victims even without them noticing, and you have a really scary figure.

A certain amount of friendship is shared between Hisoka and Illumi, although it's unclear as to how it could have developed (too many similarities that they share?). Illumi once came to the aid of Hisoka by standing for him as a double (using his excellent feature-shifting skills) in the Ryodan compounds whilst Hisoka was away performing a certain deed.

Jail

A chamaleon-like ant who has the ability to make himself invisible.

Kalluto Zoldyck

The mysterious looking younger brother of Killua. Initially introduced for a brief period during the Zoldyck Family arc, he is always seen following her mother Kikyou around. Kalluto would appear again during the Phantom Troupe arc, assisting his older brother Illumi with the assassination of the 10 Mafia leaders that placed a bounty on the Phantom Troupe. Kalluto's third appearance was during the Chimera Ant arc, where he has become a member of the Phantom Troupe himself. During this arc we are introduced to his nen ability to control paper.

Kastro

Kastro is a prominent fighter in the Heavens Arena and apparently a celebrity, as he is constantly giving out autographs. He hangs out on the 200th floor of the Heavens Arena with the intent on building enough wins to become a Floor Master. His only loss was to Hisoka, so he trained rigorously to improve his nen. After accumulating nine wins (ten wins are needed to be a Floor Master), he challenges Hisoka to a rematch.

While he is quick out of the gate, delivering Hisoka a few brutal punches without Hisoka knowing what's going on, Hisoka realizes that Kastro used his nen to create a double of himself and that Kastro has been working in tandem with his clone to execute ambushes. Hisoka then performs a magic trick (using his nen, of course) to confuse Kastro, which makes Kastro just unstable enough to give Hisoka a win. It is likely that Kastro died after the fight, though this isn't certain.

Later, Hisoka contemplates about his strategies: It seems that Hisoka used a complex illusion to throw off Kastro's balance. Kastro gets dirtied from the blows to him, and Hisoka realizes that Kastro's double was merely a reflection of what Kastro saw of himself. While the real Kastro was getting dirtier, his clone remained spotless and was thus easy to distinguish.

Kastro's undoing was in the type of nen that he had chosen. Although born to the Enhancement type nen, Kastro decided to make his ability that of Conjuration and Manipulation. An Enhancer's maximum ability in these fields is 60% at best, so Kastro would never be able to use his full potential.

Kikyo Zoldyck

Kikyou is Killua's mother, who got injured while preventing him from running away from home (although Illumi states that she is proud of Killua for doing so). She dresses in Victorian style clothing and has a visor covering her eyes. She is the maternal figure of the Zolydck family and is herself an assassin too. She seems to be slightly paranoid and is cautious of Killua's friends--Gon, Kurapica and Leorio, and is eagerly awaiting for Killua to excel in the art of assassinations and to continue on with the family business.

Knuckle Bine

Morau's disciple, one of the characters sent to NGL. Knuckle is an UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal) Hunter, and seems to get along well with animals.

Komugi (the Gung-Gi girl)

Komugi is a blind girl who is a genius at Gung-gi, a fictional board game of Hunter x Hunter. She is introduced during the Chimera Ant arc and frequently plays the Emperor Ant in Gung-Gi games. The Emporer Ant seems to be developing some feelings towards her, despite her being a human.

Milluki Zoldyck

Killua's 2nd eldest brother, an obese figure who possesses a strong aversion to performing any kind of physical activity. He has a fetish for collecting girl figurines and computer games. Seems to be talented in hacking computer systems, and was one of the injured people during Killua's escape. Milluki is primarily in charge of torturing Killua with whips and electrocution.

After being tipped off the whereabouts of Greed Island, Milluki's excitement resulted in one of the rarer moments in which he made an outside expedition in search of the game.

Mito Freaks

In the manga Mito didn't want Gon to become a Hunter because Ging only came back home once after he took the Hunter's exam. She didn't want Gon to leave his family like Ging did. In the manga, Ging is Mito's cousin. However in the HxH novel and anime, Gon's mother was Mito's sister and Ging was her brother in law. Mito was angry with Ging because he left her sister all alone at home and she had to watch her sister look sadly out of the window in hope of her husband returning. Her sister gave birth to Gon and died soon afterwards without seeing her husband ever again. Mito didn't want Gon to become a Hunter who didn't care about his family like his father. Yoshihiro Togashi spells Mito's name "Mitoo" in English.

Morau

He is a Hunter who uses a pipe and smoke as his main weapon, and who has a great sense of compassion.

(The) Mori Brothers (No. 197, 198, 199)

Being more of pen-knife wielding junkies than real fighters, much of their success in the Hunter exam is due to the close-knit cooperation between them. Always appearing in a trio, the brothers share a close bond between each other. During stage 4, Kihlua managed to get hold of the youngest brother, who was stalking him at that time. To save his life, the 2 older brothers willingly gave up their hunter tags.

Nefelpitou

A cat-humanoid Chimera ant, whom happens to be one of the Emperor's personal royal guards. Nefelpitou has an extremely powerful synchronization with her nen, as she has been shown to be able to use it unlike anyone else before. She killed Kite and had later revived him as a puppet using her abilities-fixing human body parts and puppeteering (or something similar to it) She get distracted easily and loves to play a lot. The most naive, or rather simple-minded taken to the extreme, of the three guards.

Neon Nostrade

Neon is the daughter of Kurapika's boss, Light Nostrade. Neon once had 9 personal bodyguards, Kurapika being one of them, but only 4 of them are alive now. Kurapika is the present leader of her bodyguards because his predecessor was killed by the Phantom Brigade.

Neon's Nen ability is the power to foretell people's future, but she can't foretell her own future. To do this, she must have a person's name (a nickname will do) the date of birth, (the year as well) and the person's Blood Type written down on paper. If the person isn't present while she is using her Lovely Ghost Writer, a photo of the person's face is needed too. Neon doesn't know what she writes because the ghost that appears on her arm does it automatically for her. All she has to do it to pick up a pen or a pencil and just let her arm write for her.

The person's future is foretold by 4 lined verses. Each verse represents a week of the month (so it's best to have your future foretold by Neon at the beginning of the month.) If there is something bad in store in the future, the poem tells you how to avoid it. If you do as the poem says, it is possible to avoid these nasty "events".

Netero’s Secretary

Looks to be a talking potato-head, though one thing we can be sure of is that his brain's certainly stuffed with things other than starch. Highly factual and exacting in his words- the secretary was the one who gave a presentation on the uses of the Hunter license to the successful candidates of the Exam. He can really become a very successful spokesman of Calbee Potato Chips.

Novu

A hunter who can create warp gates to another dimension. He had a nervous breakdown by approaching the Royal Guards.

Ponzu (No. 289)

Being the only prominent female who managed to enter the last few stages of the exam, Ponzu's secret weapon lies in the pink round hat she wears. For living beneath it are a pack of stinging hornets that emerge and attack people that threaten her. Although being a minor character in the series, her cute and girlish charm has won her some fans who voted for her in an early Hunter poll.

In the Chimera Ant arc, she makes a re-appearance along with Pokkle. However, she is quickly shot in the face and killed.

Reiza

Reiza(pronounced as Razor) is one of the Gamemaster and creator of Greed Island. Reiza was entrusted by Gon's father, that he was to give no quarters to his son, should he ever comes to Greed Island. Reiza is a tall and well built man by appearance and perhaps likes to play sports(especially ball games) as a pastime.

Reiza is a key person in getting one of the hardest designated card of the game. To get the card, the challengers must confront Reiza and his 14 devils. It was learned that the 14 devils were not the pirates that follows him but his ability to conjure 14 nen creatures at will. He was defeated in a deadly Dodgeball game by Gon's allied party(consisting of Gon, Killua, Biscuit, Hisoka, and several other hunter/players hired by Battera).

Reiza later revealed to Gon that he was a former convict along the same as the pirates here whom were exiled to Greed Island. Reiza is also the warden of these convicts. He became one of Ging's best friends and entrusted to look after the island. Reiza's power is speculated to be more powerful than even with Gon, Killua and Hisoka combined.

Shoot

Knuckle's partner, he can teleport and change size of objects following certain conditions.

Silva Zoldyck

With an appearance befitting a rock band member than an accomplished assassin, Silva is Killua's father. A silent, pensive figure, Killua's interaction with him seems not to be much. Certainly the member who deals the most powerful blows to his enemies.

Sommy (Suoer) (No. 118)

With a trained monkey that follows him wherever he goes, Sommy teamed up with Tonba to steal Leorio's number tag at stage 4 of the exam. However, the tables were turned on the duo when Kurapica intervened and foiled their plot, resulting for the pair to get kicked out of the exam. Even his monkey did the final act of 'betrayal' by sidling up to Kurapica, revealing the hidden location of Leorio's hidden tag.

Tonpa (No. 16 )

Nicknamed the 'newbie killer' by other candidates with more experience taking the exam, Tonpa has taken the exam for 25 consecutive terms, but has somehow never managed to pass. He often brags of his experience to newbies and then offers a helping hand. Of course, this is merely subterfuge as he takes a perverse pleasure in sabotaging their attempts to get the license.

This time around, he trailed Gon, Killua, Kurapica, and Leorio while attempting various means to foil their advancement. In order to do this, he used methods like spiking drinks with a strong laxative, feigning fatigue to delay the group's progress, and other nasty tactics. To his chagrin, these had no measurable effect on their progress.

Wing

Wing is a Nen trainer who's main student is Zushi(see below), who meets Gon and Killuia at the Heavens Arena. Although in the beginning he refuses to train Gon and Killuia, and even lies to them about Nen's purpose, he changes his mind when they reach the 200th floor, as he realizes they could die or be badly injured from nen "initiation". For the next several months he trains them in Nen.

Zeno Zoldyck

Zeno is Killua's grandfather. A wily old man, his advancing age has not dampened his quick thinking and speed in battle. Appearing somewhat eccentric, he wears a sign that says, "A kill a day". Spooky.

Zeno has quite high expectations of Killua, observing that out of all the descendants of the assassin family, Killua is the most outstanding student of assassin skills.

First revealed in his battle against Chrollo Lucifer, Zeno can emit his nen into the form of a dragon. He controls the movements with his hands, and it always is connected.

Zushi

Zushi is a young boy who studies fighting and Nen under Wing(see above). Zushi is of the Manipulation type. He is a formidable fighter and a prodigy in his own right, said to have skills only 1 out of 100,000 people have. However, he is quickly surpassed by Gon and Killua, who are said to have skills only 1 out of 10,000,000 people have. When we last saw him, he had made it to the 90th floor of the Heavens arena.
