What it’s about. Enchanted by the magic of the word “unknown,” those who pursue its power are known as Hunters. As a child, Gon learned from Kite—a Hunter who visited Whale Island—that his father, Ging, long believed dead, is not only alive but a legendary Hunter.

The question hangs in the balance: Will Gon succeed in becoming a Hunter?
