Background

Kurapika is the only survivor of the Kuruta Tribe after Genei Ryodan killed all of his clan members. Kuruta Tribe is a group of people who possess the rare scarlet pupils. It is said that when they are angry or extremely emotional, their eyes turn blood red and can be one of the most beautiful things in the world. The people of Kuruta Tribe are great worriers and they will fight until the end. The beauty of the scarlet eyes caused the high desires among the collectors. Because of that, the Kuruta Tribe people live in obscurity. But unfortunately, they were massacred by a group of thieves who call themselves the Genei Ryodan. They dig out the eyeballs of the Kuruta Tribe people in their wake and sell them on black market. As the survivor of his clan, Kurapika vowed to avenge on Genei Ryodan and take back all of his clan member’s eyes even if it costs his life.

Personality

Kurapika is a very intelligent person. He has amazing analysis ability and is always the brain of the gang. He is very quick minded, and is able to react from situations. Although he is also quiet and doesn’t trust people easily, he made 3 best friends during the hunter exam, Leorio, Gon, and Killua. He hates spiders, mainly because the Genei Ryodan people have a spider tattoo on their bodies. He is sometimes short-tempered, critical, and sarcastic. He is confident of his thoughts, abilities and ideas.

Kurapika is a very serious person, He is not that kind of person who you can joke around with. In the manga, Sphinx was joking to Kurapika that Killua and Gon got hurt, Kurapika then closed the cell phone immediately as showing that he will not have a second thought of killing Kuroro if Gon and Killua are not safe. Sphinx then groaned that Kurapika couldn’t even take a joke. (Actually, -_-; nobody will joke around in that situation, Sphinx is stupid enough to do that…)


He is also a gentleman who respects people and will never break a promise. He also has a dangerous but excellent fighting skill because he is one of the Kururta Tribe people. He lives in pains, sorrows and hatreds and his real spirit is already dead with his clan. He only lives so that he could avenge for his clan. But after meeting Leorio, Gon and Killua, he just realizes that life has a meaning you have some really loyal friends. So he is willing to even miss the chance of killing Genei Ryodan to save his friends. And he also promised that he will never lose his companions, ever again.

My Thought:

Actually, in the beginning, I didn’t really notice Kurapika, I just thought him as another random character who’s not important to the series, and Killua is the guy who actually caught my eyes on. Then, when it comes to the York Shin part, that’s when I really understand his character. I can say, he’s a really angst (sad) character in the whole series, the way he lives, and the scene where after he kills Ubugin, it’s really sad and complicated and draws tears to my eyes.

I got something for sad boys, ^^;; really, his confusions and determinations seem to be fighting each other, he doesn’t want to bring unhappiness to others, but he also wants to keep his promise and avenge for his clan. During the hunter exam, Kurapika was fighting a prisoner with a spider tattoo on his arm (he’s not one of the Genei Ryodan, that guy is a fake). That’s the first time his eyes turn red, but he didn’t kill that guy. Killua was sneering at Kurapika and saying he never killed anyone before. It’s true, so that’s why Kurapika feels so guilty when he killed Ubugin (feeling honored, pal, you are Kurapika’s first victim.)

Kurapika looks like a girl, I was still uncertain of his gender until the third volume of the manga, but then there are a lot proves in the manga that proved Kurapika is a guy, you can check the True Facts page for more information. Although Kurapika doesn't show his concerns for his friends that much, but throught varies of events, you can tell that he is a really loyal guy. I hope to see more stories about Kurapika in the later volumes of the manga, well, let’s wait and see!
