personality

Leorio is passionate about his ambitions to become a Hunter and help the poor, although he is a self-centered, narcissistic man in doing so, wanting to earn money once he becomes a licensed hunter or "abusing" his powers to save his friend should he gets elected as a chairman. Comically, he serves as a "big brother" of the group, being the overprotective, hot-headed, and cynical individual. He expresses great concern and fury into hearing that Gon's father, Ging lacks empathy over his son's critical condition to the point that he even resorted to violence for such.
