Character from Hunter x Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi
Ging's student and Gon's first real mentor — a skilled Hunter whose death at Pitou's hands became the catalyst for Gon's darkest transformation.
Kite found Gon as a child on Whale Island and told him his father was alive — the conversation that launched Gon's entire journey. Years later, they reunited during the Chimera Ant investigation, and Kite became Gon's mentor in the field. His death at Pitou's hands — specifically, the fact that Gon's presence forced Kite to protect him instead of fighting freely — drove Gon's guilt and rage to the breaking point. Kite was reborn as a Chimera Ant (a red-haired girl) through Crazy Slots' secret tenth weapon, which activated on death. The implications of this — that he was conscious while Pitou used his corpse as a puppet — are among the series' most disturbing undercurrents.
Very tall and thin with long white hair and a calm, watchful expression. He wears a simple hat and carries himself with the quiet competence of a career Hunter. His Nen weapon — Crazy Slots — manifests as a clown-faced roulette that randomly selects from nine different weapons.
