[[folder: Gon Freecss]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gon-Freecss-2011_7294.jpg
->Voiced by: Creator/MegumiHan (2011 series), Creator/JunkoTakeuchi (1999 series), RicaMatsumoto (pilot OVA)
Gon Freecss is the main protagonist of Hunter X Hunter, a twelve year old boy left in the care of his aunt raised to believe his parents died in an accident when he was just a baby. He later learns that is not the case when he is rescued by a stranger named Kaito. Kaito turns out to be a hunter and student of Ging Freecss, a world-renowned hunter and Gon's apparently dead father. This meeting steered something inside of him and ever since meeting Ging has been a lifetime goal. He seeks to meet his absent father, Ging, and follow in his footsteps, driving to take The Hunter's Exam and obtain a hunter's license, and so his quest begins…
Gon's nen ability is essentially based in weaponizing RockPaperScissors, giving a different attack for whether he chooses [[MegatonPunch rock]], [[EnergyBall paper]] or [[LaserBlade scissors.]]
-----
* AmbiguousInnocence: Gon's a rather interesting case… he's described and portrayed as this innocent and hopelessly simple boy through and through, but the absence of a sense of right and wrong has been commented on.
** AboveGoodAndEvil: According to Zepile.
** It's more like he doesn't judge people. He has his own sense of right and wrong, but it doesn't seem to apply to other people. At least, not all the time.
* AnimalMotifs: Often compared to a dog.
* AnimeHair: What's it made of, wires?
* AttackAttackAttack
* {{Badass}}:
** BadassAdorable
** BadassInDistress: BIG TIME.
* [[spoiler: BerserkerTears]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* [[spoiler: BodyHorror: After his fight with Pitou.]]
* BloodKnight:He likes fighting and he is thrilled when he is in dangerous situations.
* BookDumb
* BoringButPractical: His ability is one of the simplest of the manga but he can use a short-ranged, middle-ranged and long-ranged attack which are all very powerful. With those three techniques he has near infinite possibilities. It even becomes more useful when his opponent knows his ability.
* [[spoiler: BreakTheCutie]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: After his defeat against Knuckle.
* CallingYourAttacks:Lampshaded:
-->'''Killua: ''' Do you have to yell those words every time?\\
'''Gon: ''' Huh? Sure. Otherwise it's not like a special attack.\\
'''Killua: ''' Maybe... but you're telegraphing the enemy. What if you get attacked while you're yelling?\\
'''Gon: ''' I'll dodge and say it.\\
'''Killua: ''' What if you can't?!\\
'''Gon: ''' I'll still say it.
*** And yet, because of the way Nen works, having the restriction of calling his attacks before using them actually strenghthens them.
* ChasteHero: Subverted: Gon is actually very knowledgeable about women and their feelings, having dated many "cougars": older women who are into younger men who came to his home island, before he left to take the Hunter Exam. Killua is actually horrified to learn how much more experience Gon has with women than he does.
* CheerfulChild
* CrossDressingVoices: In both animes.
* [[spoiler: DeadlyUpgrade]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: [[spoiler: To Kaito during chapter 337.]]
* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Against Genthru.
* {{Determinator}}: Oh, boy, is he ever… in his first official fight in the Hunter Exam, it's a curbstomp battle with Gon being trashed around like a body dummy. He's told to give up several times as killing is strictly forbidden if you want to pass and even if he loses this match, he still has a chance to pass… three hours of being beat senseless did nothing. And almost being impaled by a blade and having his arm broken only seemed to strengthen his resolve. His opponent is literally forced to forfeit in order to avoid killing him.
** That is not strictly true. Hanzo fully admits to Killua afterwards that he had several more moves in his arsenal he could have tried but decided not to because (like everyone else at this point) he had grown fond of him.

[[folder: Killua Zoldyck]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Killua-2011_9695.jpg
-> Voiced by: MariyaIse (2011 series), KanakoMitsuhashi (1999 series)
The heir to the Zoldyck family, Killua decided he didn't want to be an assassin anymore, so he ran away. However he wasn't sure of what he really did want to do, so he took the Hunter Exam as a way to entertain himself. That's where he met Gon. At first he's distant and unattached, but it's hard to stick around Gon without warming up to him. He's generally fun-loving and a tease, although he doesn't seem to know when to stop, whether it's gambling or making fun of someone. He tends to be much more logical than Gon, making them a good pair. But you don't want to piss him off.
Killua's nen ability involves generating electricity, though he has to charge himself regularly (apparently by zapping himself with a taser) to keep it going.
-------
* AbsurdlySharpClaws
* AbusiveParents: Killua doesn't want to be the heir of his family business and [[TheRunAway ran away]] but his parents are against that. They even [[spoiler: permitted Illumi to put a needle on him in order to control him and his mother seriously think he would have a better life if he was controlled]]
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Killua is immune to virtually all forms of poison due to his family's TrainingFromHell, and is seen happily downing five cans of laxative-laced juice before the Hunter Exam starts.
** He's also somewhat immune to electricity. It still hurts, but it doesn't incapacitate him like it should.
* AffectionateNickName: He is called "Kil" by his family.
* AnimalMotifs: Often compared to a cat (even appears as one in SuperDeformed context).
* AntiHero:
** PragmaticHero
** SociopathicHero: He is a Zoldyck after all. He has no problem with killing and smiles practically every time he kills someone. Thanks to his character development he doesn't kill for the lulz anymore but he won't really care if someone who is not important to him dies.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Quite arrogant. He didn't pass the Hunter Exam for that reason and he was treating the participants of the Celestial Tournament like shit.

* CatSmile: Sometimes.
* CharacterDevelopment
* ConsummateLiar
* CowardlyLion: He becomes this when facing an opponent whose level he is unsure of compared to his own (with a tendency to underestimate himself). It's at first explained as the result of his brother Illumi's training. [[spoiler:But it's later revealed to be [[RestrainingBolt hardwired into him by a nen-powered needle Illumi had put in his head]]. Removing it allowed Killua to [[TookALevelInBadass instantly take a serious level in Badass]].]]

** PsychoElectro: Particularly noticeable during his fight against Bopobo.
* SpoiledBrat: Zeno self-admitted he spoiled him. It's the reason why he doesn't respect Milluki.
* SproutingEars: In the first anime.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: A rare example where he appears open and emotive (sugar) most of the time but becomes cold, dark, and distant (ice) when dealing with serious situations, using his assassination techniques, and facing certain people who have angered or hurt him.
* SweetTooth: He tends to be munching on something. Also, he used his winnings from his first time in the Celestial Tower supposedly on a lot of cakes.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The technician to Gon's performer. While Killua relies on his assasintion skills Gon relies on his instincts. It's the reason why he is a bit jealous of Gon during the tournament of his first Hunter exam.

[[folder: Kurapika]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yooooo_2_9360.jpeg
-> Voiced by: Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (2011 series), YukiKaida (1999 series), NorikoHidaka (pilot OVA)
Speaking of not wanting to piss someone off, you really don't want to piss Kurapika off, either. He's cold and intelligent, at least when you first meet him. He listens to HonorBeforeReason, which makes him go head to head with Leorio rather often. He's practically a walking encyclopedia, and it shows. Five years ago the members of the Kuruta clan were wiped out, all but Kurapika. They were killed only for their scarlet eyes, which he is now bent on getting back, all 32 pairs. He also intends to inflict justice on those who did it, the Phantom Troupe/Genei Ryodan.
Kurapika's nen ability involves him conjuring chains, one chain attached to each of the fingers on his right hand. Each chain has a different ability: One chain is able to to be used to heal himself, another has a spike tip that he can embed in a person's heart, which will kill them if they violates certain conditions that Kurapika puts forth. The most prominent ability is Chain Jail, which is used to tie down its target and [[PowerNullifier shut off their ability to use nen]] (however, the ability will kill Kurapika if he ever uses it on anyone other than a member of the Genei Ryoudan.)
----
* TheAce: He is by far the best bodyguard of the Nostrade clan thanks to his high intelligence, he is also the strongest. They all chose him as their leader and he became Nostrade's confident and right arm.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Eye variation. His eyes (when not in RedEyesTakeWarning mode, obviously), are stated to be brown in the manga. They went from turquoise to dark blue to blue again in the first anime. In the second anime, they're a slightly brownish grey. He also wears black contact lenses in the York Shin arc.
* AmbiguousGender: While the English-speaking side of the fandom has by and large decided that he's definitely male, the Japanese-speaking side seems pretty evenly split on the matter of Kurapika's gender. PronounTrouble is probably to blame for the difference.
** WordOfGod has confirmed his gender as male.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: The special manga chapters for the movie reveals that his childhood friend Pairo was badly hurt when trying to save him, and he wanted to go to the outside world and find a doctor that can heal him]].
* {{Badass}}: ''Hell yes.'' He is a formiddable opponent due to his sharp mind, physical strength, and later, [[spoiler: his nen chains]]. All of this is accomplished through intense training and willpower.
** BadassBoast
--> '''Uvogin''': [You're] alone? I'm impressed. Where do you want to die? I'll humor any requests.
--> '''Kurapika''': I'd prefer a deserted wasteland, with no one nearby. (pause) ... Since I'll have you screaming at the top of your lungs.
** BadassBookworm
** BadassFamily: Uvo recognized their strength.
** [[spoiler: BadassInCharge: After the head head bodyguard was killed by Uvogin, a decision must be made on the new leader. Kurapika, being the only one capable of standing toe-to-toe with Uvogin unflinchingly, is voted the leader of the bodyguards unanimously.]]
* BerserkButton: Anything related to the Phantom Troupe will set him off.
** As one unfortunate soul discovered during the Hunter Exam when he tried to intimidate him by claiming to be a member. Kurapika saw right through his claim, but still angrily one-shotted him in a blind rage.
** With the release of the special movie-related chapter, [[spoiler: [[RedEyesTakeWarning insulting Pairo is a bad idea]]]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes Aloof, soft-spoken and refined. At first glance. Kurapika is almost always underestimated. However, he is a great fighter and possesses an uncanny amount of intellect and physical strength. Press his {{Berserk Button}} and he '''will''' proceed to either blindly or systematically kick your ass.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BlessedWithSuck: When his emotions are heightened, his eyes change into one the most beautiful shades of scarlet in the world. As another bonus, he gets an extremely useful power upgrade. However, it was ''because'' of their eyes' beauty that his Clan was [[spoiler: hunted down, massacred, and then had their eyes sold through the black market]].
* BountyHunter: Every Hunter can do this but he is a Black List Hunter so it's his main job.
* BrutalHonesty
* ChainPain
** VariableLengthChain
* CheerfulChild: Younger Kurapika.
* ChildProdigy: When he was younger.
* CodeName: The 'chain guy'
* ConditionalPowers: What makes his Chain Jail so strong. If he uses that particular chain on anyone but a member of the Phantom Troupe, he will die.
* {{Cross Dressing Voices}}: Both animes give him this, as to add to his looks.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Chain Jail. See 'Conditional Powers'.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The story of his clan's massacre is absolutely '''tragic'''. Families were [[spoiler: forced to face one another as they were stabbed and beheaded. Children were mutilated in order to make their parents' eyes turn an even more alluring shade of scarlet. All of Kurapika's friends, family, neighbors, etc. -- gone, leaving behind only ONE survivor.]] The gore is nothing short of what a monster could accomplish, and Kurapika's quest for vengeance seems all the more understandable.
* DisguisedInDrag: During the Phantom Troupe arc, while trying to [[spoiler: corner the Spiders]]. ''Twice'' in succession. If this wasn't already amusing enough to the fangirls, Kuroro also mistakes him for a woman.
* DualWielding: [[spoiler:(Before being ChainedByFashion).]]
* DeathGlare : Even without using his [[RedEyesTakeWarning family assets]], he's really fond of this trope.
* {{Dude Looks Like A Lady}}: So much that he's successfully [[DisguisedInDrag disguised himself as a woman]] at least twice so far in the series. Leorio even mentions at the beginning how Kurapika could easily pass off as a woman. Kuroro thought he was a girl, too, especially with that [[AttractiveBentGender pink pencil skirt]]...
** Even American Shonen Jump couldn't determine Kurapika's gender.
** German volume prints gave him female personal pronouns at first. Later volumes corrected that.
** Pointed out canonically by Leorio when he's thinking about a surefire bet that he could win. "Maybe I should bet if I'm a man or a woman... No, that'd be too obvious... But that'd work a lot better with Kurapika!"
* {{Determinator}}: Portrayed as one. Everybody say that he has an unflinching will.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the reboot, for the Phantom Troupe Arc, Kurapika's hair is noticeably longer. Where it once hung just over his ears and ended at the nape of his neck, it now brushes his shoulders.
* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[YuYuHakusho Kurama]].
* FourIsDeath : One of his major motifs. Number 404 in the Exam, having four known chains, ''being born'' at April 4th (4/4)...
* FriendshipMoment: During his reunion with his friends. His most moving scene so far.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: A heroic example. Kurapika was a unknown BadassBookworm. Six months later he became the best bodyguard of hit team and a threat to [[TheDreaded the Phantom Troupe.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft
* GuileHero
* LastOfHisKind (Thus his purpose is revenge.)
* LeeroyJenkins: Haha,he is TheSmartGuy,TheStrategist but [[BerserkButton when he is really angered]] he screws up his own plans.
* LongBusTrip (We haven't seen him since before the Chimera Ant arc)
** He was very recently mentioned on chapter 320, as [[OhCrap being absent]] from [[spoiler: the Hunter Association Chairman Election]].
** Well, we only get a bit of him in the splash pages here and there, and there was even one little drawing with both Leorio and Kurapika with puppy dog eyes asking when will they show up in the series again... you just gotta feel sorry for them...
** [[spoiler: He does come back in Chapter 339, but is seen actually being deliberate of his absence by ignoring any calls from Leorio. Hopefully he gets a bigger role in the following arc]]
* TheMole: Joins the Mafia to hunt down flesh merchants and find the eyes of his clan. He intends to bring them all down. His boss, needless to say, does not know this.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Looks thin and delicate, but he's pretty damn ''strong''.
* NecessaryDrawback
* NoNameGiven: Even now we still don't know his full name.
* {{Polyglot}}: The Hunter language is not is native native language. He learnt it when he was younger.
* TheCoatsAreOff: You don't want Kurapika to take off his tabard.
* ThePowerOfHate: The reason why Chain Jail is that strong.
* PowerStrainBlackout: After successfully [[spoiler: rescuing Gon and Killua]], Kurapika faints from exhaustion and the overuse of his Scarlet Eyes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Leorio's Red.
* RevengeBeforeReason (To an extent.) Averted somewhat where he gives up a chance at revenge to save his [[TrueCompanions friends]].
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name was romanized as ''Curarpikt'' in the 2004 databook.
* TheSmartGuy
* TheSpock
* TheStrategist: Targeted [[TheBrute Uvogin]] first because it was advantageous, and for the sole purpose of gauging the strength of his chains, therefore determining how he'd fare against the rest of the troupe were he to bind them.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Appears cold and distant to others, due to his focus on avenging his clan. However, he shows a much warmer side towards Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Melody.
* SuperPowerLottery: A lot:
** MasterOfAll: With Emperor Time, he can use '''all the Nen types to 100% efficiency.''' The second name of this ability is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Absolute Mastery]].
** HealingShiv: Holy Chain.
** LivingLieDetector: Dowsing Chain can do this.
** PowerNullifier: Chain Jail.
** SuperMode: Emperor Time is this.
** SwissArmyWeapon: His chains.
* SurvivalMantra: (In the anime, the Kurata Prayer.)
* UnstoppableRage: Kurapika is an enigma in the fact that, while he is often level-headed and reasonable, under [[BerserkButton certain circumstances]], he can potentially fly off the handle. Kuroro makes a valuable note of this.
** As of the special comic covering his backstory, UnstoppableRage was an InTheBlood issue for the Kuruta clan, which led to them being feared and hated.
* TeamMom: Very protective of Gon and Killua. And if you take into account that he and Leorio, the oldest of the group, often [[HoYay argue like a married couple]] ...
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Chain Bastard.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: We discover in the special chapter that Kurapika was fascinated by the outside world when he was younger. He is probably still fascinated by the world [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge but it's impossible to notice that in the manga.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: (In the six-month gap after the Zoldyck Arc. The anime makes it even better.)]]
* TranquilFury: One of the many, many shades of his rage.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Leorio, his best friend.

Leorio may be a money-pinching cheapskate at times. That's certainly how we're introduced to him; he explains that his only reason for becoming a Hunter is so he can become rich. But the reason he wants to be rich? He wants to become a doctor, and open up a free hospital. The only problem was that he didn't have enough money to take the entrance exam, so instead, he took the Hunter Exam. While he loses his temper often and can be quite childish, he's a good and kind-hearted man. He's highly emotional, often acting on impulse.
For most of the series, Leorio hadn't even gotten past the Ten part of Nen, and thus hadn't picked up a nen ability. After the Chimera Ant arc, though, he seems to have finally learned one that lets him transmit his punches through the floor.

-> Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (2011 series), HirokiTakahashi (1999 series)
Hisoka is the main antagonist throughout the series. There is only one story arc where he has yet to show up, and that's because he's off preying on someone else. He's a brilliant fighter and a psychotic murderer who would [[{{Achewood}} kill dead people if science would let him]], but otherwise is only interested in the living, though they don't stay alive for very long after catching Hisoka's attention. He's particularly interested in Gon and Killua, to an [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence unsettling degree]]; the main reason he hasn't killed them yet is because he wants them to grow stronger before doing so. He was a member of the Genei Ryodan for a time, but he only joined so he could fight [[WorthyOpponent Chrollo]], a confrontation he hasn't been able to arrange just yet.
His power consists in making his aura adhesive and elastic like gum, or putting it on thin surfaces to change their appearance. [[WhatKindOfLamePowerisHeartAnyway As lame as it sounds]], the former turns out to be deadly in combat, and the latter gives him impossibly effective forgery skills.

* BloodKnight: Hisoka kills people because he likes to, but sometimes kills because he ''needs'' to. Early in the series, Gon is able to easily track him just from the bloodlust he emits, and even bases his window of opportunity around when Hisoka can't resist killing the next person he meets.

* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]].
** And possibly of {{The Joker}}.
* FanNickname: Pedoclown. It is not a hyperbole, but a completely accurate descriptor.
* FemaleGaze
* FourIsDeath: his number in the Genei Ryodan; was also applicant #44 during the Hunter Exam.
* TheGadfly[=/=]{{Troll}}: According to the situation.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Bungee Gum doesn't seem very powerful but the more you Hisoka uses it the more you see its deadly applications.
* ILied
* InLoveWithYourCarnage
* IShallTauntYou: Everytime he fights.
* InvincibleVillain: Portrayed as one. When Hisoka fights he never loses unless he is not serious.
* JailBaitWait: Or something like it. He's waiting for Gon and Killua (whom he refers to as "unripe fruits") to become stronger, so that they'll be able to put up a [[SexIsViolence more arousing fight]] when he finally decides to "[[UnusualEuphemism pick]]" them.
* LimitedWardrobe: Averted; while all his outfits are similar looking, he sports a different one per arc at least.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He didn't react at all when Kastro sliced his arm.
* ManipulativeBastard: Hisoka preyed on Kurapika’s need for revenge against the Genei Ryodan so that he could fight against Chrollo without interference from the other members.
* MrFanservice
* MoodSwinger: He swings back and forth between AffablyEvil and FauxAffablyEvil, and sometimes falls into AxCrazy territory.
* MonsterClown: AND HOLY SHIT HOW.
* NightmareFace: Busts out a pretty terrifying one during the Hunter Exams.
* OneManArmy
* PeoplePuppets: In the musicals, where his Bungee Gum is used to coordinate group dance numbers without the participants' consent.
* PutOnABus: During the Ants arc.
* RealMenWearPink
* SexIsViolence: He gets ''very'' turned on when Gon starts [[RapidFireFisticuffs utterly wailing on him]] in the Celestial Tower arc.
* StageMagician: A very dangerous one.
* StaticCharacter: Since the beginning of the manga Hisoka didn't change at all. He is still a great character though.
* StealthMentor: Hisoka helps Gon several times because he plans to fight the latter when he has become [[WorthyOpponent stronger.]]
** Which leads to some fridge horror when wondering about what might have motivated Gon to go to the extreme of [[DeliberateInjuryGambit sacrificing his hand in his fight against Genthru.]]
* TheBusCameBack
* [[VillainProtagonist Villain Main Character]]
* WildCard: Quite literally regarding his WeaponOfChoice.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: In the 2011 anime.

[[folder: Gon Freecss]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gon-Freecss-2011_7294.jpg
->Voiced by: Creator/MegumiHan (2011 series), Creator/JunkoTakeuchi (1999 series), RicaMatsumoto (pilot OVA)
Gon Freecss is the main protagonist of Hunter X Hunter, a twelve year old boy left in the care of his aunt raised to believe his parents died in an accident when he was just a baby. He later learns that is not the case when he is rescued by a stranger named Kaito. Kaito turns out to be a hunter and student of Ging Freecss, a world-renowned hunter and Gon's apparently dead father. This meeting steered something inside of him and ever since meeting Ging has been a lifetime goal. He seeks to meet his absent father, Ging, and follow in his footsteps, driving to take The Hunter's Exam and obtain a hunter's license, and so his quest begins…
Gon's nen ability is essentially based in weaponizing RockPaperScissors, giving a different attack for whether he chooses [[MegatonPunch rock]], [[EnergyBall paper]] or [[LaserBlade scissors.]]
-----
* AmbiguousInnocence: Gon's a rather interesting case… he's described and portrayed as this innocent and hopelessly simple boy through and through, but the absence of a sense of right and wrong has been commented on.
** AboveGoodAndEvil: According to Zepile.
** It's more like he doesn't judge people. He has his own sense of right and wrong, but it doesn't seem to apply to other people. At least, not all the time.
* AnimalMotifs: Often compared to a dog.
* AnimeHair: What's it made of, wires?
* AttackAttackAttack
* {{Badass}}:
** BadassAdorable
** BadassInDistress: BIG TIME.
* [[spoiler: BerserkerTears]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* [[spoiler: BodyHorror: After his fight with Pitou.]]
* BloodKnight:He likes fighting and he is thrilled when he is in dangerous situations.
* BookDumb
* BoringButPractical: His ability is one of the simplest of the manga but he can use a short-ranged, middle-ranged and long-ranged attack which are all very powerful. With those three techniques he has near infinite possibilities. It even becomes more useful when his opponent knows his ability.
* [[spoiler: BreakTheCutie]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: After his defeat against Knuckle.
* CallingYourAttacks:Lampshaded:
-->'''Killua: ''' Do you have to yell those words every time?\\
'''Gon: ''' Huh? Sure. Otherwise it's not like a special attack.\\
'''Killua: ''' Maybe... but you're telegraphing the enemy. What if you get attacked while you're yelling?\\
'''Gon: ''' I'll dodge and say it.\\
'''Killua: ''' What if you can't?!\\
'''Gon: ''' I'll still say it.
*** And yet, because of the way Nen works, having the restriction of calling his attacks before using them actually strenghthens them.
* ChasteHero: Subverted: Gon is actually very knowledgeable about women and their feelings, having dated many "cougars": older women who are into younger men who came to his home island, before he left to take the Hunter Exam. Killua is actually horrified to learn how much more experience Gon has with women than he does.
* CheerfulChild
* CrossDressingVoices: In both animes.
* [[spoiler: DeadlyUpgrade]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: [[spoiler: To Kaito during chapter 337.]]
* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Against Genthru.
* {{Determinator}}: Oh, boy, is he ever… in his first official fight in the Hunter Exam, it's a curbstomp battle with Gon being trashed around like a body dummy. He's told to give up several times as killing is strictly forbidden if you want to pass and even if he loses this match, he still has a chance to pass… three hours of being beat senseless did nothing. And almost being impaled by a blade and having his arm broken only seemed to strengthen his resolve. His opponent is literally forced to forfeit in order to avoid killing him.
** That is not strictly true. Hanzo fully admits to Killua afterwards that he had several more moves in his arsenal he could have tried but decided not to because (like everyone else at this point) he had grown fond of him.
** Also of note is the Bomb Devil fight, which he wins in spite of [[spoiler: having his hand blown off.]]
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: To [[spoiler: Illumi, Genthru the Phantom Troupe and Pitou.]]He doesn't care if you are stronger than him to begin with. Annoys him and he'll do this.
* [[spoiler: DissonantSerenity: Against Pitou.]]
* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[DragonBall (young) Goku.]]
* FearlessFool: UpToEleven.
* ForcedLevelGrinding: [[spoiler: The main reason why Ging created Greed Island was to make Gon stronger.]]
* ForcedToWatch: During his first fight with Chimera Ants. Kite said him to watch the [[Gorn horrible murder]] when he averted his eyes.
* FriendshipMoment: Most if the time with Killua.
* FriendToAllLivingThings
* GenerationXerox: Of Ging, or at least it's heading this way.
* TheGift: Gifted as only one in ten millions.
* GoodIsNotSoft
* HappilyAdopted

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Killua.
* IGaveMyWord
* [[spoiler: IHaveYourWife: Komugi becomes his hostage when he learns that Pitou wants to heal her.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Used a fishing pole before he started relying on his nen.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Gon fights with shoes, flagstones, trees and even more.
* InnateNightVision
* InstantExpert:Gon learns INCREDIBLY quickly.
* ItsAllAboutMe: It becomes more and more noticeable as the story goes on.
* ItsPersonal: Gon didn't care about any ant but Pitou when he [[spoiler: discovered Kaito mutilated body.]]
* IWillFindYou: The story started because he wanted to find Ging.
* JustAKid
* KidANova: Yes.He was dating with older women who were [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar teaching him all sorts of things]]. Palm also fell for him.
* KidHero
* TheKirk: Prior to Killua's apparition he was TheKirk to Kurapika's [[TheSpock Spock]] and Leorio's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]].
* MagneticHero: Particularly in the Hunter Exam arc.
* TheMessiah: He had his opponent get healed, that said opponent was trying to kill him before he decided to do that.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: To not have been able to protect Kaito.]]
* TheNoseKnows: His uncanny sense of smell has been displayed since the very beginning
* ParentalAbandonment: He's raised by his aunt.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: [[spoiler: At least before he releases his SuperMode.]]
* PhraseCatcher: "He's dangerous", referring not to his combat abilities, but to his AmbiguousInnocence.
* ThePollyanna: [[spoiler: Until he finds out Kite's dead.]]
* [[spoiler: PowerMakesYourHairGrow]]
* PummelDuel: With Knuckle.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Killua's Blue.

** MegatonPunch: Rock.
** EnergyBall: Paper.
** LaserBlade: Scissors.
* SecondLove: Palm's.
* SmarterThanYouLook
* SpiritedCompetitor: Very much so.
* StarMakingRole: For [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/MegumiHan Megumi Han]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: With Ging.
* TechnicalPacifist

[[folder: Killua Zoldyck]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Killua-2011_9695.jpg
-> Voiced by: MariyaIse (2011 series), KanakoMitsuhashi (1999 series)
The heir to the Zoldyck family, Killua decided he didn't want to be an assassin anymore, so he ran away. However he wasn't sure of what he really did want to do, so he took the Hunter Exam as a way to entertain himself. That's where he met Gon. At first he's distant and unattached, but it's hard to stick around Gon without warming up to him. He's generally fun-loving and a tease, although he doesn't seem to know when to stop, whether it's gambling or making fun of someone. He tends to be much more logical than Gon, making them a good pair. But you don't want to piss him off.
Killua's nen ability involves generating electricity, though he has to charge himself regularly (apparently by zapping himself with a taser) to keep it going.
-------
* AbsurdlySharpClaws
* AbusiveParents: Killua doesn't want to be the heir of his family business and [[TheRunAway ran away]] but his parents are against that. They even [[spoiler: permitted Illumi to put a needle on him in order to control him and his mother seriously think he would have a better life if he was controlled]]
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Killua is immune to virtually all forms of poison due to his family's TrainingFromHell, and is seen happily downing five cans of laxative-laced juice before the Hunter Exam starts.
** He's also somewhat immune to electricity. It still hurts, but it doesn't incapacitate him like it should.
* AffectionateNickName: He is called "Kil" by his family.
* AnimalMotifs: Often compared to a cat (even appears as one in SuperDeformed context).
* AntiHero:
** PragmaticHero
** SociopathicHero: He is a Zoldyck after all. He has no problem with killing and smiles practically every time he kills someone. Thanks to his character development he doesn't kill for the lulz anymore but he won't really care if someone who is not important to him dies.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Quite arrogant. He didn't pass the Hunter Exam for that reason and he was treating the participants of the Celestial Tournament like shit.
* {{Badass}}:
** BadassAdorable
** BadassFamily
** BadassInDistress: During York Shin City arc.
** SubmissiveBadass: To Gon.
* BeatStillMyHeart: During the Trick Tower phase of the Hunter Exam, Killua does this to Johness the Dissector, a notorious mass-murderer sentenced to 968 years in prison.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward Alluka.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:He saved Knuckle just when he would have been killed by Youpi.]]
* BishieSparkle: Killua has this for [[http://i.animecrazy.net/killua1.png a moment]].
* BlackSheep
* BloodKnight
* BreakTheHaughty: 3 times:
** When he learned Gittarackur's true identity.
** When Zushi used Ren.
** When [[TheDreaded Pitou]] appeared!
* BrokenTears: A few times during the Ant arcs and also in the election arc.
* CatSmile: Sometimes.
* CharacterDevelopment
* ConsummateLiar
* CowardlyLion: He becomes this when facing an opponent whose level he is unsure of compared to his own (with a tendency to underestimate himself). It's at first explained as the result of his brother Illumi's training. [[spoiler:But it's later revealed to be [[RestrainingBolt hardwired into him by a nen-powered needle Illumi had put in his head]]. Removing it allowed Killua to [[TookALevelInBadass instantly take a serious level in Badass]].]]
* CreepyChild
* CrossDressingVoices: In both animes too.
* DeathGlare
* DeclarationOfProtection: [[spoiler:To Alluka,he also said he'll protect Gon]].
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: The main theme of his character development.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: [[BigBrotherInstinct He has one now.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Eventually becomes the most frequently seen member of the main cast other than [[TheHero Gon]].
* DoppelgangerSpin: Rythm Echo.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: [[spoiler: During the invasion he did his best to help Gon but Gon treated him like shit. At the end of the Election arc, Gon finally apologizes to him and [[CatSmile he was quite happy.]]]]
* ElectricTorture: Part of his TrainingFromHell.
* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[YuYuHakusho Hiei]] (mostly in the original anime).
* [[spoiler: FakingTheDead: Against the Ortho siblings.]]
* [[spoiler: {{Fingore}}: In GI arc.]]
* FriendshipMoment
* TheGamblingAddict: His main flaw, mostly PlayedForLaughs (considering it's [[{{Determinator}} Gon]] who has to stop him from going too far)…
* TheGift: As talented as Gon.
* GladHesOnOurSide: Kurapika's reaction when he learns he is an assassin.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Gon, though on Killua's side it borders on being HoYay at times.
* HitmanWithAHeart: Though he doesn't really get a heart until he quits being a hitman.
* ItRunsInTheFamily
* IJustWantToBeNormal[=/=]IJustWantToHaveFriends: Killua was not allowed to have friends. In the Hunter exam he says to Illumi that he wants to be friend with Gon and have a normal life.
* InstantExpert
* JustAKid
* KillerYoYo
* TheLancer
* LonelyRichKid: He was this before meeting Gon and the others.
* MeaningfulName: '''Kill'''ua Zoldyck.In japanese,it's written Kirua whithout the "u",it's Kira which is the japanese pronunciation of killer.
* [[spoiler: MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he asks Nanika to disappear.]]
* NiceHat: During Heavens Arena arc.
* OneManArmy:"Tanks,fighter jets...I'll stop you all". He did.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: During his fight against Shoot he recklessly charges forward and even screams to hit him.
* ParentalFavoritism: Favored by his father,his grandfather,his mother.
* PintSizedPowerhouse
* PhysicalGod: Averted. [[spoiler: Kanmuru means "God[==]speed" and it was even explained with Raijin images. Even if he becomes way stronger it's mainly because of his speed and reflexes. His physical strength and aura are not strengthened. If he uses it for too long he will run out of electricity.]]
** SuperReflexes: Shippūjinrai.
** SuperSpeed: Denkōsekka
** {{Speedblitz}}
* ProfessionalKiller: Formerly.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Gon's Red.
* [[spoiler: RestrainingBolt:]] See Cowardly Lion above.
* SlasherSmile: Did this quite often when he killed earlier in the series and basically everytime he kills or beats someone in his "assassin" mode.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp
* TheRunaway
* ShirtlessScene: In the first arc.
* ShockAndAwe: Thanks to his acquired electricity immunity, he is able to transform his aura into electricity, and uses it not only as a weapon on others, but also on himself as a reflex enhancer.
** PsychoElectro: Particularly noticeable during his fight against Bopobo.
* SpoiledBrat: Zeno self-admitted he spoiled him. It's the reason why he doesn't respect Milluki.
* SproutingEars: In the first anime.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: A rare example where he appears open and emotive (sugar) most of the time but becomes cold, dark, and distant (ice) when dealing with serious situations, using his assassination techniques, and facing certain people who have angered or hurt him.
* SweetTooth: He tends to be munching on something. Also, he used his winnings from his first time in the Celestial Tower supposedly on a lot of cakes.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The technician to Gon's performer. While Killua relies on his assasintion skills Gon relies on his instincts. It's the reason why he is a bit jealous of Gon during the tournament of his first Hunter exam.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Expect to hear the instrumental of Tell Me when Killua is about to kick someone's ass.
** [[spoiler: TheDayTheMusicLied: Against Shoot.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: He became kind enough to[[spoiler: spare a Chimera Ant. This ant become one of their ally later.]]

[[folder: Kurapika]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yooooo_2_9360.jpeg
-> Voiced by: Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (2011 series), YukiKaida (1999 series), NorikoHidaka (pilot OVA)
Speaking of not wanting to piss someone off, you really don't want to piss Kurapika off, either. He's cold and intelligent, at least when you first meet him. He listens to HonorBeforeReason, which makes him go head to head with Leorio rather often. He's practically a walking encyclopedia, and it shows. Five years ago the members of the Kuruta clan were wiped out, all but Kurapika. They were killed only for their scarlet eyes, which he is now bent on getting back, all 32 pairs. He also intends to inflict justice on those who did it, the Phantom Troupe/Genei Ryodan.
Kurapika's nen ability involves him conjuring chains, one chain attached to each of the fingers on his right hand. Each chain has a different ability: One chain is able to to be used to heal himself, another has a spike tip that he can embed in a person's heart, which will kill them if they violates certain conditions that Kurapika puts forth. The most prominent ability is Chain Jail, which is used to tie down its target and [[PowerNullifier shut off their ability to use nen]] (however, the ability will kill Kurapika if he ever uses it on anyone other than a member of the Genei Ryoudan.)
----
* TheAce: He is by far the best bodyguard of the Nostrade clan thanks to his high intelligence, he is also the strongest. They all chose him as their leader and he became Nostrade's confident and right arm.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Eye variation. His eyes (when not in RedEyesTakeWarning mode, obviously), are stated to be brown in the manga. They went from turquoise to dark blue to blue again in the first anime. In the second anime, they're a slightly brownish grey. He also wears black contact lenses in the York Shin arc.
* AmbiguousGender: While the English-speaking side of the fandom has by and large decided that he's definitely male, the Japanese-speaking side seems pretty evenly split on the matter of Kurapika's gender. PronounTrouble is probably to blame for the difference.
** WordOfGod has confirmed his gender as male.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: The special manga chapters for the movie reveals that his childhood friend Pairo was badly hurt when trying to save him, and he wanted to go to the outside world and find a doctor that can heal him]].
* {{Badass}}: ''Hell yes.'' He is a formiddable opponent due to his sharp mind, physical strength, and later, [[spoiler: his nen chains]]. All of this is accomplished through intense training and willpower.
** BadassBoast
--> '''Uvogin''': [You're] alone? I'm impressed. Where do you want to die? I'll humor any requests.
--> '''Kurapika''': I'd prefer a deserted wasteland, with no one nearby. (pause) ... Since I'll have you screaming at the top of your lungs.
** BadassBookworm
** BadassFamily: Uvo recognized their strength.
** [[spoiler: BadassInCharge: After the head head bodyguard was killed by Uvogin, a decision must be made on the new leader. Kurapika, being the only one capable of standing toe-to-toe with Uvogin unflinchingly, is voted the leader of the bodyguards unanimously.]]
* BerserkButton: Anything related to the Phantom Troupe will set him off.
** As one unfortunate soul discovered during the Hunter Exam when he tried to intimidate him by claiming to be a member. Kurapika saw right through his claim, but still angrily one-shotted him in a blind rage.
** With the release of the special movie-related chapter, [[spoiler: [[RedEyesTakeWarning insulting Pairo is a bad idea]]]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes Aloof, soft-spoken and refined. At first glance. Kurapika is almost always underestimated. However, he is a great fighter and possesses an uncanny amount of intellect and physical strength. Press his {{Berserk Button}} and he '''will''' proceed to either blindly or systematically kick your ass.
* {{Bishonen}}
* BlessedWithSuck: When his emotions are heightened, his eyes change into one the most beautiful shades of scarlet in the world. As another bonus, he gets an extremely useful power upgrade. However, it was ''because'' of their eyes' beauty that his Clan was [[spoiler: hunted down, massacred, and then had their eyes sold through the black market]].
* BountyHunter: Every Hunter can do this but he is a Black List Hunter so it's his main job.
* BrutalHonesty
* ChainPain
** VariableLengthChain
* CheerfulChild: Younger Kurapika.
* ChildProdigy: When he was younger.
* CodeName: The 'chain guy'
* ConditionalPowers: What makes his Chain Jail so strong. If he uses that particular chain on anyone but a member of the Phantom Troupe, he will die.
* {{Cross Dressing Voices}}: Both animes give him this, as to add to his looks.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Chain Jail. See 'Conditional Powers'.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The story of his clan's massacre is absolutely '''tragic'''. Families were [[spoiler: forced to face one another as they were stabbed and beheaded. Children were mutilated in order to make their parents' eyes turn an even more alluring shade of scarlet. All of Kurapika's friends, family, neighbors, etc. -- gone, leaving behind only ONE survivor.]] The gore is nothing short of what a monster could accomplish, and Kurapika's quest for vengeance seems all the more understandable.
* DisguisedInDrag: During the Phantom Troupe arc, while trying to [[spoiler: corner the Spiders]]. ''Twice'' in succession. If this wasn't already amusing enough to the fangirls, Kuroro also mistakes him for a woman.
* DualWielding: [[spoiler:(Before being ChainedByFashion).]]
* DeathGlare : Even without using his [[RedEyesTakeWarning family assets]], he's really fond of this trope.
* {{Dude Looks Like A Lady}}: So much that he's successfully [[DisguisedInDrag disguised himself as a woman]] at least twice so far in the series. Leorio even mentions at the beginning how Kurapika could easily pass off as a woman. Kuroro thought he was a girl, too, especially with that [[AttractiveBentGender pink pencil skirt]]...
** Even American Shonen Jump couldn't determine Kurapika's gender.
** German volume prints gave him female personal pronouns at first. Later volumes corrected that.
** Pointed out canonically by Leorio when he's thinking about a surefire bet that he could win. "Maybe I should bet if I'm a man or a woman... No, that'd be too obvious... But that'd work a lot better with Kurapika!"
* {{Determinator}}: Portrayed as one. Everybody say that he has an unflinching will.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: In the reboot, for the Phantom Troupe Arc, Kurapika's hair is noticeably longer. Where it once hung just over his ears and ended at the nape of his neck, it now brushes his shoulders.
* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[YuYuHakusho Kurama]].
* FourIsDeath : One of his major motifs. Number 404 in the Exam, having four known chains, ''being born'' at April 4th (4/4)...
* FriendshipMoment: During his reunion with his friends. His most moving scene so far.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: A heroic example. Kurapika was a unknown BadassBookworm. Six months later he became the best bodyguard of hit team and a threat to [[TheDreaded the Phantom Troupe.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft
* GuileHero
* LastOfHisKind (Thus his purpose is revenge.)
* LeeroyJenkins: Haha,he is TheSmartGuy,TheStrategist but [[BerserkButton when he is really angered]] he screws up his own plans.
* LongBusTrip (We haven't seen him since before the Chimera Ant arc)
** He was very recently mentioned on chapter 320, as [[OhCrap being absent]] from [[spoiler: the Hunter Association Chairman Election]].
** Well, we only get a bit of him in the splash pages here and there, and there was even one little drawing with both Leorio and Kurapika with puppy dog eyes asking when will they show up in the series again... you just gotta feel sorry for them...
** [[spoiler: He does come back in Chapter 339, but is seen actually being deliberate of his absence by ignoring any calls from Leorio. Hopefully he gets a bigger role in the following arc]]
* TheMole: Joins the Mafia to hunt down flesh merchants and find the eyes of his clan. He intends to bring them all down. His boss, needless to say, does not know this.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Looks thin and delicate, but he's pretty damn ''strong''.
* NecessaryDrawback
* NoNameGiven: Even now we still don't know his full name.
* {{Polyglot}}: The Hunter language is not is native native language. He learnt it when he was younger.
* TheCoatsAreOff: You don't want Kurapika to take off his tabard.
* ThePowerOfHate: The reason why Chain Jail is that strong.
* PowerStrainBlackout: After successfully [[spoiler: rescuing Gon and Killua]], Kurapika faints from exhaustion and the overuse of his Scarlet Eyes.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Leorio's Red.
* RevengeBeforeReason (To an extent.) Averted somewhat where he gives up a chance at revenge to save his [[TrueCompanions friends]].
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name was romanized as ''Curarpikt'' in the 2004 databook.
* TheSmartGuy
* TheSpock
* TheStrategist: Targeted [[TheBrute Uvogin]] first because it was advantageous, and for the sole purpose of gauging the strength of his chains, therefore determining how he'd fare against the rest of the troupe were he to bind them.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Appears cold and distant to others, due to his focus on avenging his clan. However, he shows a much warmer side towards Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Melody.
* SuperPowerLottery: A lot:
** MasterOfAll: With Emperor Time, he can use '''all the Nen types to 100% efficiency.''' The second name of this ability is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Absolute Mastery]].
** HealingShiv: Holy Chain.
** LivingLieDetector: Dowsing Chain can do this.
** PowerNullifier: Chain Jail.
** SuperMode: Emperor Time is this.
** SwissArmyWeapon: His chains.
* SurvivalMantra: (In the anime, the Kurata Prayer.)
* UnstoppableRage: Kurapika is an enigma in the fact that, while he is often level-headed and reasonable, under [[BerserkButton certain circumstances]], he can potentially fly off the handle. Kuroro makes a valuable note of this.
** As of the special comic covering his backstory, UnstoppableRage was an InTheBlood issue for the Kuruta clan, which led to them being feared and hated.
* TeamMom: Very protective of Gon and Killua. And if you take into account that he and Leorio, the oldest of the group, often [[HoYay argue like a married couple]] ...
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Chain Bastard.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: We discover in the special chapter that Kurapika was fascinated by the outside world when he was younger. He is probably still fascinated by the world [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge but it's impossible to notice that in the manga.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: (In the six-month gap after the Zoldyck Arc. The anime makes it even better.)]]
* TranquilFury: One of the many, many shades of his rage.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Leorio, his best friend.

[[folder: Leorio Paladiknight]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Leorio-2011_5226.jpg
-> Voiced by: KeijiFujiwara (2011 series), HozumiGouda (1999 series), NobutoshiCanna (pilot OVA)
Leorio may be a money-pinching cheapskate at times. That's certainly how we're introduced to him; he explains that his only reason for becoming a Hunter is so he can become rich. But the reason he wants to be rich? He wants to become a doctor, and open up a free hospital. The only problem was that he didn't have enough money to take the entrance exam, so instead, he took the Hunter Exam. While he loses his temper often and can be quite childish, he's a good and kind-hearted man. He's highly emotional, often acting on impulse.
For most of the series, Leorio hadn't even gotten past the Ten part of Nen, and thus hadn't picked up a nen ability. After the Chimera Ant arc, though, he seems to have finally learned one that lets him transmit his punches through the floor.

[[folder: Hisoka]]

-> Voiced by: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (2011 series), HirokiTakahashi (1999 series)
Hisoka is the main antagonist throughout the series. There is only one story arc where he has yet to show up, and that's because he's off preying on someone else. He's a brilliant fighter and a psychotic murderer who would [[{{Achewood}} kill dead people if science would let him]], but otherwise is only interested in the living, though they don't stay alive for very long after catching Hisoka's attention. He's particularly interested in Gon and Killua, to an [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence unsettling degree]]; the main reason he hasn't killed them yet is because he wants them to grow stronger before doing so. He was a member of the Genei Ryodan for a time, but he only joined so he could fight [[WorthyOpponent Chrollo]], a confrontation he hasn't been able to arrange just yet.
His power consists in making his aura adhesive and elastic like gum, or putting it on thin surfaces to change their appearance. [[WhatKindOfLamePowerisHeartAnyway As lame as it sounds]], the former turns out to be deadly in combat, and the latter gives him impossibly effective forgery skills.
-------
* AffablyEvil
* AgentPeacock
* AmazonChaser: Machi is currently the only person who sexually attracts him. And he is fond of her ability and her strength.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy
* {{Badass}}
* BatmanGambit: Using his nen-powered forgery skills, he pulls a successful one on [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy Chrollo]], [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome of all people]].
** Every one of his fights involve this in same way. He baits and manipulates opponents until they unwittingly fall into his pace, and then he kills them in one move.
* BigBad: Mostly likely of the entire series.
* {{Bishonen}}: Just '''look''' [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ywRwhnqWWXY/UXAMz-mOiSI/AAAAAAAALVY/x_x_286BPyQ/s1600/hisoka.jpg at him]] when he doesn't have his typical clown getup.
* BloodKnight: Hisoka kills people because he likes to, but sometimes kills because he ''needs'' to. Early in the series, Gon is able to easily track him just from the bloodlust he emits, and even bases his window of opportunity around when Hisoka can't resist killing the next person he meets.
* CatchAndReturn: Can do this with Bungee Gum.
* CombatSadomasochist: See "SexIsViolence" below.
* CombatStilettos
* ConsummateLiar
* DeathDealer
* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Against Kastro.
* DepravedHomosexual[=/=]DepravedBisexual: Depending on your interpretation.
* TheDreaded
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even a violent sociopath like him is creeped out by Illumi's "brotherly affection" for Killua.
* EvilRedhead
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: {{Lampshaded}} and then promptly [[JustifiedTrope justified]]. He has exactly one offensive power: He can make his aura both sticky and elastic. If you're close enough for him to tell you this, you are too close for that knowledge to save your life.
* {{Expy}}: Possibly of [[JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]].
** And possibly of {{The Joker}}.
* FanNickname: Pedoclown. It is not a hyperbole, but a completely accurate descriptor.
* FemaleGaze
* FourIsDeath: his number in the Genei Ryodan; was also applicant #44 during the Hunter Exam.
* TheGadfly[=/=]{{Troll}}: According to the situation.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Bungee Gum doesn't seem very powerful but the more you Hisoka uses it the more you see its deadly applications.
* ILied
* InLoveWithYourCarnage
* IShallTauntYou: Everytime he fights.
* InvincibleVillain: Portrayed as one. When Hisoka fights he never loses unless he is not serious.
* JailBaitWait: Or something like it. He's waiting for Gon and Killua (whom he refers to as "unripe fruits") to become stronger, so that they'll be able to put up a [[SexIsViolence more arousing fight]] when he finally decides to "[[UnusualEuphemism pick]]" them.
* LimitedWardrobe: Averted; while all his outfits are similar looking, he sports a different one per arc at least.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: He didn't react at all when Kastro sliced his arm.
* ManipulativeBastard: Hisoka preyed on Kurapika’s need for revenge against the Genei Ryodan so that he could fight against Chrollo without interference from the other members.
* MrFanservice
* MoodSwinger: He swings back and forth between AffablyEvil and FauxAffablyEvil, and sometimes falls into AxCrazy territory.
* MonsterClown: AND HOLY SHIT HOW.
* NightmareFace: Busts out a pretty terrifying one during the Hunter Exams.
* OneManArmy
* PeoplePuppets: In the musicals, where his Bungee Gum is used to coordinate group dance numbers without the participants' consent.
* PutOnABus: During the Ants arc.
* RealMenWearPink
* SexIsViolence: He gets ''very'' turned on when Gon starts [[RapidFireFisticuffs utterly wailing on him]] in the Celestial Tower arc.
* StageMagician: A very dangerous one.
* StaticCharacter: Since the beginning of the manga Hisoka didn't change at all. He is still a great character though.
* StealthMentor: Hisoka helps Gon several times because he plans to fight the latter when he has become [[WorthyOpponent stronger.]]
** Which leads to some fridge horror when wondering about what might have motivated Gon to go to the extreme of [[DeliberateInjuryGambit sacrificing his hand in his fight against Genthru.]]
* TheBusCameBack
* [[VillainProtagonist Villain Main Character]]
* WildCard: Quite literally regarding his WeaponOfChoice.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: In the 2011 anime.
