Kurapika Kurta

Personality

Kurapika is a cool and intelligent individual, possessing vast knowledge. He is reticent; not one to open up to people easily, and rather critical. His distance from others initially keeps him level-headed and self-righteous, but his heart has been poisoned by sadness and hatred. Having been traumatized by losing everyone he loved at the age of twelve, Kurapika closes his heart to new people and remains introverted in order to stay focused on his goal. However, Kurapika can be kind and caring, smiling when those friends are happy. Although Kurapika openly states that he wishes to become a Blacklist Hunter and that his ultimate goal is to capture the band of thieves who massacred his family, he is willing to compromise his personal morality and delve into the sordid side of society to achieve his goal. He is prone to fits of uncontrollable rage if the memory of his clan is insulted in any way.

Appearance

His eyes glow a beautiful, covetable crimson when he is experiencing intense emotion. In his first appearance in the series, he wears a blue tabard decorated with an orange hem (red in the 2011 anime adaptation) and a full-body white training suit underneath. He changes out of the tabard and training suit during the Yorknew City Arc. His shoes are Chinese-style flat shoes. Since the Election Arc, he wears a blue or black suit with dress shoes, and in some later appearances, he also wears a tie. Kurapika also wears a single earring adorned with a ruby ​​in his left ear. After learning Nen, he begins wearing black contact lenses to hide his crimson eyes.
