Seiyuu
Takahashi Hiroki
Background
Still a great mystery, no one knows where he came from or who he really is. Even Hisoka may not even know himself, preferring to forget his past.
Attributes
An erratic, volatile, killing machine that enjoys the act of killing, especially people whom he has targetted as victims, one being Gon. Thinks he's the best fighter in the world, and always seeks to challenge anybody who appears to be equally powerful as him. He has set his current sight on Kuroro, the leader of the Brigade, finding him to be a worthy opponent which he would want to <kill> with relish.
Fighting Ability
Arguably one of the best fighters in the world, Hyskoa is not only deadly in normal attacks, but has many tricks up his sleeve--his deviousness and volatility has made many opponents difficult to anticipate his next move, and this has led to him winning many battles. Using poker cards as his weapens, he throws them with ease and deadly accuracy, which cut into enemy flesh like a knife to butter.
Hisoka up to his dirty tricks again Nen Ability
Hisoka, being Enka type, has the ability to manipulate his nen is into any material texture he fancies. This has served him well on numerous occasions, and especially compliments his devious nature. While fighting with Kasutoro, he once fooled everyone by masking his injuries using nen.
In combat, he often uses his nen to alter its consistency into a sticky and gluish substance that is very much like bubble gum, to pull back opponents within punching range for a flurry of rebound pummels.
Additional Commentary
Hisoka is also spelled as Hisoka or Hyskoa in other websites.
Possible interpretation of his name->
Hisoka in kanji can mean "secret" or "mysterious". Doesn't it fit this elusive being?
Hisoka- sans the makeup Appearance-->
Initially appeared with blue hair and a "clubs and spades" purple costume in the Hunter Exam; he made a sudden change to brown hair with a "hearts and diamonds" costume in Combat Tower and Auction City. With his make-up and costume, he really looks like a flamboyant (rather ridiculous-looking ) clown but beneath all this is a bishounen looking young man. I wonder why he chooses to adopt such a jester-like identity when with other people.
Similarities->
1. Kafka- the main villain in FF6, the Super Nintendo rpg game
2. The other clown present in Yuu yuu hakusho (Yoshihiro-sensei's previous work) had an even more ridiculous appearance (rather hideous, actually). He battled with Genkai (Yusuke's sensei) and lost pathetically.
Kuroro Lucifer
Leader of the Genei Ryodan
Age: 26
Hatsu Ability: Gugenka and Tokushitsu
This figure is the head of the Phantom Brigade. Appearance-wise, he is a cool and handsome looking young man, immaculately groomed and well-dressed, complete with an exquisite fur coat that he always wears.
Personality
Kuroro seems to be a rather book-loving figure, as he's always seen holding a tome and reading it intently. He seems to be a silent and introspective figure, one who plans ideas ahead of him, which reminds me a lot of Kurapica. In fact, you could call him Kurapica's contrasting counterpart, possessing rather similar traits but using it for opposing purposes- for masterminding flawless criminal activities.
Although being the leader of the team, Kuroro has no qualms about losing his life for the sake of the Brigade's continued survival, as he has mentioned this before to the members, and this has no doubt led to increasing faith and loyalty in him and his decisions. Although he is always accompanied by 2 other members that act as bodyguards during his meetings with the brigade, Kuroro seems to be very trusting of his members- and is oblivious to Hisoka's hidden intentions.
With the exception of Hisoka, it seems that the rest of the brigade members have pledged their unswerving loyalty to Kuroro. Much of this faith, no doubt, is due to the selfless leadership and ingenious strategic decisions that have enabled the Phantom Brigade to thrive, crime after crime.
Double Self
Kuroro's friendly other self Whenever Kuroro's not with the members, his alter-ego surfaces- he uses a cloth to bandage up the forehead cross and lets his fringe down- becoming a amicable, friendly chap that engages in conversation easily with others. Well, he even goes into a friendly banter and jokes around! (This is very unlike his 'leader' persona)
Fighting Ability
One often wonders of Kuroro's fighting abilities, as his perceived bookish attitude raises doubts about his fighting competence. It turns out that the book he always carry along with him is the most crucial -and useful- weapon that anyone could possess. For Kuroro is a 'materialise' person- the book was fashioned from his imagination. Recorded within its pages are all the unique nen abilities that he has managed to 'rob' thus far, which had to be done under very stringent conditions. All that is required is for Kuroro to flip open a certain page, and summon up the ability he so wishes to use.
This pilfering ability of his has enabled Kuroro to collect a vast repertoire of interesting nen abilities, which include conjuring up a fish monster that can sustain the life of its victim even after consuming all of its internal organs and body parts; summoning up an angelic spirit that can foretell the future fate of an individual.
In terms of actual physical fighting capability, Kuroro is able to effectively defend against the combined attacks of both Zeno and Silva, Killua's grandfather and father respectively, who are infamously known as the most effective assassins in the world.
Details of Kuroro's Tokushitsu Ability
<The Bandit's Secret>- Kuroro in action Enables him to rob any nen ability for his own use, causing the victim to be unable to use it any longer. The stolen ability will be recorded in the pages of his materialised book <the Bandit's secret>, with Kuroro able to call up the ability to his wishes.
The usage of the pilfered abilities are regardless governed by very strict regulations:
A)He must satisfy 4 conditions to successfully steal the victim's ability:
1. Witness the nen ability in action
2. Enquire about the ability; the victim must answer about it in return
3. Victim's hand must touch the palm print on Kuroro's book cover
4. Steps 1 to 3 must be completed within an hour.
B)To use the abilities, Kuroro must materialise the book and hold it in his right hand. The page containing the victim's ability must be kept open throughout the process
C)Once the victim dies, the ability will also be correspondingly deleted from the pages.
