Gon's an innocent boy who is willing to help anyone, especially his friends. He rarely ever looks at anything in a bad way. His curious and naive personality often frustrates his friends but this is also the reason why many people are attracted to him. He is also from the enhancer nen group. He usually fights barehanded or with his fishing rod, but it is seen quite often that Gon's fist is more deadly than any weapons.

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.  Kurapika's Techniques  Holy Chain (ç™’ã�™è¦ªæŒ‡ã�®éŽ– ãƒ›ãƒ¼ãƒªãƒ¼ãƒ�ã‚§ãƒ¼ãƒ³ The Healing Thumb Chain): Type Conjuration and Enhancement Shaped like a cross, it cures wounds by drawing from Enhancement abilities. When Kurapika is in his Specialist state, its ability is Enhanced and can heal serious injuries within seconds. Chain Jail (æ�Ÿç¸›ã�™ã‚‹ä¸­æŒ‡ã�®éŽ– ãƒ�ã‚§ãƒ¼ãƒ³ã‚¸ã‚§ã‚¤ãƒ« The Restraining Middle Finger Chain): Type Conjuration, Emission, and Manipulation Shaped like a hook, it wraps around Spiders and restricts their movement. Also forcefully causes its prisoners to enter Zetsu, shutting off their aura and preventing the use of Nen abilities. Escape from the Chain Jail is only possible through brute force. Kurapika imposed a limitation onto this chain, it can only be used to deal with members of the Phantom Troupe. If this condition is violated, Kurapika will die. This condition was needed in order to increase the strength of the ability. Dowsing Chain (å°Žã��è–¬æŒ‡ã�®éŽ– ãƒ€ã‚¦ã‚¸ãƒ³ã‚°ãƒ�ã‚§ãƒ¼ãƒ³ The Guiding Ring Finger Chain): Type Conjuration Shaped like a ball and chain, Kurapika uses this frequently under normal situations, for defensive and offensive purposes. It is also useful for other investigative activities, like determining the location of missing individuals. He also uses this chain to identify if someone is lying. It has a small ball-like weight at the end which moves in the direction of whatever he is dowsing for. Judgment Chain (å¾‹ã�™ã‚‹å°�æŒ‡ã�®éŽ– ã‚¸ãƒ£ãƒƒã‚¸ãƒ¡ãƒ³ãƒˆãƒ�ã‚§ãƒ¼ãƒ³ The Arbiter Little Finger Chain): Type Conjuration, Emission, and Manipulation â€‹The Stake of Retribution, a blade on the end of the Judgment Chain, enters the victim's body and wraps around the heart. Kurapika sets two conditions and if the victim violates either one, the chain crushes the heart, killing them. It can only be used while Kurapika's eyes are scarlet. Kurapika himself has a blade wrapped around his heart, which he used to set the conditions of use for his Chain Jail ability. Emperor Time (çµ¶å¯¾æ™‚é–“ ã‚¨ãƒ³ãƒšãƒ©ãƒ¼ã‚¿ã‚¤ãƒ Absolute Mastery): Type Specialization When Kurapika's eyes shift into scarlet, he changes from a Conjurer to a Specialist. This ability allows him to utilize all the types of Nen to 100% efficiency (for a Conjurer). In the manga, Kurapika explains this using the terms "Level" and "Force/Accuracy". Kurapika's "Levels" in the various Nen categories remain the same during Emperor Time, however, his Force and Accuracy for every category is raised to 100%. Thus, if Kurapika's Level in Conjuration were 10, his Level in Emission (the polar opposite aura type) would be 4, and during Emperor Time, he would be evenly matched against a Level 4 Emitter at 100%. Outside of Emperor Time, his Force and Accuracy in Emission would at most be only be 40%.

Captain

Mito Freecss is Gon's adopted mother, and cousin to Ging Freecss. In the manga Mito did not want Gon to become a Hunter because Ging only came back home once after he took the Hunter's exam. She did not want Gon to leave his family like Ging did. In the manga and in the 2011 anime, Ging is Mito's cousin. However in the original anime and novelization, Mito was made into the sister of Gon's mother, making Ging 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 did not want Gon to become a Hunter who did not care about his family like his father. As such, she fights and wins for custody over Gon. However, now that Gon has left, she tries her best to support him in his journey.  Mito is a kind woman that accepts Killua as one of Gon's friends despite learning that he is an assassin, and she feels that people must do everything they can to save another's life. When Gon and Killua found a wounded animal in the forest, Mito slapped Killua for suggesting to kill it and put it out of its misery, and because of this, they came up with the alternate solution of healing it with their nen.

Mito Freecss

Kite is the very first Hunter introduced in the story. He is a disciple of Ging Freecss, Gon's father. After saving Gon from a foxbear on Whale Island, Kite revealed to him the truth about his father. Before he took his leave, Kite left Ging's Hunter License in Gon's hands. After leaving Greed Island, Gon runs into Kite again, while he is in the middle of a zoological survey, searching for new species, in the country of Kakin. At the time, he was leading a team of young would-be Hunters, seven children named Banana Kavaro, Lin Koshi, Monta Yuras, Podungo Lapoy, Spinner Clow, and Stick Dinner.  Kite is killed by Neferpitou, but is soon rebuilt into a manipulated puppet to train the ants. He is later captured by Knuckle and Shoot. Kite is later revealed to have been reborn as Meruem's younger sister with all his memories intact. This is later hinted by Ging to have something to do with his ability "Crazy Slot'' where there is a number that will only appear when Kite has a strong will to survive and does not wish to die.
