The
story follows a young boy named Gon Freecss, who was told all his life
that both his parents were dead. But when he learns from Kite, an
apprentice of his father Ging Freecss, that he is still alive and has
since become an accomplished Hunter, Gon leaves his home on Whale Island (くじら島 Kujira Tō) to
take the Hunter Examination (ハンター試験 Hantā
Shiken) in order to become a Hunter like him. During the exam, Gon
meets and soon befriends three of the other applicants: Kurapika, the last
remaining member of the Kurta clan who wishes to become a Hunter in order to
avenge his clan and recover their scarlet-glowing eyes that were plucked from
their corpses by a band of thieves known as the Phantom Troupe; Leorio,
a prospective physician who, in order to pay for medical school, desires the
financial benefits that Hunters receive; and Killua Zoldyck, another
twelve-year-old boy who has left his former life as a member of the world's
most notorious assassin family
