PlotEdit

Meeting GonEdit

At the age of 9, Gon Freecss is attacked by a foxbear mother protecting its cub. Kite saves Gon by killing the mother and then chastises the boy for making him kill it. He then tries to kill the cub, claiming it will grow up hating humans and will therefore be a danger to them. However, Gon stops Kite and vows to raise the cub.^[1]

When told the name of Gon's father, Kite informs Gon that his father did not die in an accident (as he was told by Mito) but that he is a professional Hunter and Kite's mentor. He leaves Ging's Hunter License in the boy's possession and then leaves to find Ging as a final test--claiming that it is the most difficult hunt in the world.^[1]

Chimera Ant arcEdit

After Gon completes Greed Island, he uses the Accompany card in an attempt to fly to Ging with Killua. However, Ging didn't want to meet him in front of a crowd and Gon is redirected to Kite instead.^[2] Hired by the country of Kakin to do biological survey, Kite leads a team of seven amateur Contract Hunters named Banana Kavaro, Lin Koshi, Monta Yuras, Podungo Lapoy, Spinner Clow, and Stick Dinner. When another expedition team finds an arm belonging to an enlarged Chimera Ant Queen washed up onto shore, Kite's group sets out to find the origin source. He reasons that the animal probably ended up in the Neo-Green Life Autonomous State and enters the region with Gon and Killua in order to exterminate the dangerous

creature.

Shortly after, the team receives a message from Ponzu — already in NGL with Pokkle. On their way to help, the group is attacked by Chimera Ants and soon discover a narcotics factory in the country, formerly producing weapons and the drug 'D²'. He, Gon, and Killua kill the ants inside and become targets of the Hagya Division. Using his scythe ability, Kite quickly defeats the entire division in one blow.

After getting close to the Chimera Sensing disturbance, Neferpitou appears, cutting off Kite's arm before he can defend himself. Knowing that they would only be a hindrance to Kite, Killua knocks out Gon and retreats, taking his friend with him. ^[3]Unable to stand up to the chimera ant's strength, Kite is killed by Neferpitou. Soon after, his body is reanimated and used as a training dummy for new Ant recruits.

Knuckle and Shoot manage to capture him afterwards and bring him before Gon. After taking some blows from Kite, Gon hugs him and vows to get Neferpitou so he can save him.^[4]

Though Pitou later reveals to Gon that Kite's vessel is dead, it has since been revealed that Meryem's younger twin sister has Kite's memories. This means that his brain was devoured by the Queen after his death.^[5]However, Ging state that Kite's survival might have something to do with his ability "Crazy Slot" ; whereby there is a number that will only appear when Kite has a strong will to survive and does not wish to die.

NenEdit

Kite is a Conjurer so he is specialized on creating objects out of the aura. He can extend his En as far as 45 meters, but varies depending on his physical and mental condition.

Kite's Nen Type: Conjuration
*Crazy Slots (気狂いピエロ (クレイジースロット) , Mad Clown)*^[6]
	Kite's Nen ability is called Crazy Slots and allows him to conjure some weapons with a clown affixed to it. A roulette appears on the clown's tongue with numbers 1 to 9, each corresponding to a specific weapon. Whatever number randomly appears, the weapon that corresponds with that number appears. This means that Kite cannot choose what weapon he wants to use; he did this in order to increase the power of the individual weapons by making a Contract prohibiting selection by choice. The weapon drawn will not disappear until used. The clown on Crazy Slots can also talk and comment on Kite's actions and mood, to his chagrin. Only three of his weapons are shown in the manga: a scythe, a rifle^[7], and a mace^[8].
Nen Ability: Conjuration	Number 2: Scythe
	Kite's conjures a very sharp and enormous scythe. Silent Waltz: Grim Reaper's Dance (死神の円舞曲: サイレントワルツ) Silent Waltz, is only able to be used with his scythe and it is extremely destructive. The blade increases in size through Kite's Nen and it can only be used by swinging it in a giant circle. When Kite uses it to wipe out a plethora chimera ants, it takes out the enemies in all directions.^[9]
Nen Ability: Conjuration	Number 3: Mace
	Kite's conjures a clown-like mace.
Nen Ability: Conjuration	Number 4: Rifle
	Kite's conjures a rifle able to shoot powerful bullets without making any noise.
