Background and History

Commission for Leo

Kalluto accepts Leo's commission to locate two unidentified people despite questioning how Leo learned of his unrevealed tracking ability. He requests eight billion Jenny and asks Leo to come to the Zoldyck estate in person before taking the job. 132

When they meet on Kukuroo Mountain, Kalluto confirms that Leo was the person who severely injured Illumi. Rather than being resentful, he is satisfied and curious to see someone capable of defeating his eldest brother. 134

He accompanies Leo to the Hunter Association headquarters and employs a paper doll to assist the search for a mole connected to Doctor. The technique requires Leo to pour aura into the doll while focusing on information related to the target. 135 141

First Experience of Freedom

After the investigation, Kalluto must wait three days before he can use his tracking ability again. Leo leaves him in Toth City without a new mission, allowing him to explore freely and try local food for the first time. 138

He later waits at Hunter Association headquarters for Leo's return and openly complains when Leo comes back a day late, showing that he had expected him to keep his promise. 141

Kirok City Assassination

Kalluto returns to Kirok City on a separate contract to assassinate Cliff Dawkins, a wealthy man who had evaded punishment for torturing and murdering women. He infiltrates the auction crowd carrying only his paper fan and concealed paper scraps. 178

At the auction house, Kalluto uses Paper Blizzard and Snake Bite Dance to kill all ten of Cliff's security guards, including their Nen-using captain. He then kills Cliff after reuniting with Leo. 179 180

Joining Leo's Team

Leo invites Kalluto to join his team after the assassination. Kalluto hesitates because of his solitary upbringing and concern that Silva may oppose the decision, but Tsubone delivers Silva's message that the choice is entirely Kalluto's. He accepts Leo's invitation and travels with him through Asher's portal. 180

Kalluto meets Sophia, Shizuku, and Asher at Heaven's Arena. Though initially reserved, he responds politely to the team and agrees to work with Leo in tracking wanted criminals. 181

Conflict with the Zoldyck Family

Kalluto and Leo observe the remaining Ten Dons before Leo destroys their manor. Kalluto remains composed, expecting Leo to win overwhelmingly. 199 200

When Silva and Zeno arrive under an assassination contract against Leo, Kalluto is torn between Zoldyck family rules and his bond with Leo. He withdraws from the fight at Leo's request, then pleads for Leo to spare his father and grandfather once they are defeated. 201 204

After the failed assassination, Kalluto places himself between Leo and his injured relatives to protect them. Silva later tells him to follow Leo, avoid causing him trouble, and never betray his friends. 205 206

Appearance

Kalluto is a young, delicate-looking boy whose features and voice are described as androgynous. He commonly wears a dark purple kimono and carries a paper fan. 134 178

• Short hair. 134
• Fiery red or crimson eyes. 134 179
• Delicate facial features that make his gender difficult to identify by appearance alone. 134
• Dark purple kimono, which makes him conspicuous in crowds. 178
• Paper fan used to direct his Nen techniques. 178 179

Personality

Kalluto is calm, distant, and observant, usually revealing little emotion even in unfamiliar or dangerous situations. He is confident in his own abilities and reacts poorly when they are compared unfavorably to someone else's. 132 135

Despite his reserved demeanor, he has a proud and easily flustered side. He denies being frightened when Leo brings him to the Hunter Association, complains when Leo returns late from a promised three-day absence, and quickly becomes angry when Leo jokingly threatens to use another tracker instead of him. 135 141 328

Leaving the Zoldyck estate exposes him to independence and companionship that he had not experienced before. He gradually becomes more open around Leo's team and develops firm loyalty to Leo, accepting his granted power without hesitation and prioritizing Leo's safety even when confronted by Silva and Zeno. 138 181 205 270

Abilities and Skills

Paper-Based Nen Techniques

Kalluto manipulates paper scraps through a paper fan, using them for both assassination and tracking. 135 179

• Paper Blizzard — Produces a growing storm of white paper scraps around his body. 179
• Snake Bite Dance — Turns paper attached to targets into razor-sharp blades; the technique massacres Cliff Dawkins's ten guards in a single attack. 179
• Tracking paper doll — A paper figure receives aura and target-related information, then independently moves toward the person being sought. 135 141 142
• Limitation: After using his tracking ability, Kalluto must wait three days before using it again. 138

Assassin Training

As a Zoldyck, Kalluto is trained for infiltration and killing. He independently prepares for contracts, assesses security arrangements, and carries out attacks amid crowded public settings without hesitation. 178 179

• Tracks targets and evaluates their guards before acting. 178
• Kills Cliff Dawkins immediately after disabling his protection. 179 180
• Previously captured and interrogated Asher before Asher joined Leo's team. 181

Proof of Humanity · Weakened Version

Leo grants Kalluto a weakened version of Proof of Humanity, marking the back of his hand with a dark-red spiral tattoo. 270

• Begins at Level 0 with a maximum level of 42. 270
• Absorbs residual life energy from slain lifeforms to increase his level and strengthen his body. 270
• Improves physical recovery and self-healing as his level rises. 270
• Killing fellow humans without cause reduces his level by one and costs one year of lifespan, except against hostile enemies or enemies attacking humans. 270
• Leo may revoke the ability at any time; Kalluto's resulting physical enhancements would then gradually fade. 270
