Background / History

Meeting the Group

Leorio meets Gon, Luo Ye, and Kurapika aboard the ship bound for the Hunter Exam. His declaration that he wants money provokes Kurapika into an argument. During a storm, Leorio treats an injured sailor while the others help the crew. Afterward, he and Kurapika apologize, and the Captain passes all four through the ship’s preliminary test 8.

During the Kiriko family’s staged emergency, Leorio stays with the injured husband while Gon and Kurapika pursue the supposed kidnapper. He recognizes that the blood is fake but does not attack immediately. The Kiriko praise both his compassion and his composure before taking the group toward the exam venue 10 11.

Hunter Exam

The opening marathon nearly eliminates Leorio. Exhausted from running in his suit with his briefcase, he sits down and tells the others to continue without him. Luo Ye kicks the briefcase away and taunts him, provoking him into running again 13.

Separated from his companions in the wetlands fog, Leorio freezes when Hisoka approaches him with murderous intent. Luo Ye intervenes, and Leorio instinctively warns him when Hisoka attacks. Later, a fragrance-induced illusion makes Leorio chase a giant gold coin; Luo Ye knocks him unconscious and carries him to the second-phase venue 15 16 18 19.

In the tower trial, Leorio’s mistake incurs a fifty-hour penalty and leaves him overwhelmed by guilt. Killua wins the deciding prisoner match, allowing the group to proceed. When a stone bridge breaks beneath Leorio, Luo Ye rescues him from the chasm 29 30 34.

During the island hunting phase, Ponzu’s bees leave Leorio swollen and unable to move. Luo Ye neutralizes the bees’ threat and obtains Ponzu’s number 246 badge for him. Still weakened, Leorio is carried through the remaining journey and passes the phase with his companions 47 48 49 51.

Leorio faces Luo Ye in the final phase. Despite his fear, he refuses to surrender without fighting. Luo Ye dodges every attack and manipulates his movements into self-inflicted blows and falls, ending the match with Leorio unconscious. Leorio nevertheless qualifies as a Hunter and receives his license 58 61.

Rescuing Killua and Pursuing Medicine

After Killua’s disqualification, Leorio agrees to help Gon bring him back, emphasizing that Killua is his friend too. At the Zoldyck estate, he joins the effort to enter the grounds and tends to Gon after Canary repeatedly knocks him down 60 63 66.

Once Killua rejoins them, Leorio leaves to prepare for the medical school entrance exam. He explains that his Hunter License removes his concern about tuition. The group promises to reunite in Yorknew City on September 1 70 71.

Leorio briefly meets the others after their Heavens Arena journey. He complains that textbook study has left him behind their combat progress, but insists that becoming a great doctor remains his priority 91.

Yorknew City

In Yorknew, Leorio organizes an antique-reselling venture with just 1,000 Jenny from Luo Ye. His bargaining and Gon’s ability to identify a Nen-marked puppet help the group sell their purchases for three million Jenny 98.

The Ten Dons’ twenty-billion reward draws Leorio into searching for the Phantom Troupe. When Gon and Killua miss their meeting, he uses the Hunters’ intelligence network to discover their capture, recruits Luo Ye, and helps bring the boys out of the Troupe’s hideout 107 110 111 112.

Leorio cares for Kurapika during his fever and exhaustion, objects when the others prioritize watching battles, and later confirms that his fever has broken. He also safeguards Gon and Killua during the hostage exchange. After the final fighting, he stays behind to nurse Kurapika through a prolonged unconscious state 117 119 126 128 130.

Dark Continent Expedition and Later Studies

Leorio appears with the expedition on the Dark Continent. He cries out when gas lifeforms engulf Luo Ye, is left speechless by Luo Ye’s destruction of an Ancient Rhinoceros Beast herd, and salvages the blue crystals Luo Ye leaves for the others 225 233 237.

By his latest appearance, Leorio is studying at medical school. Luo Ye offers him a future private-doctor position paying 2,000 Jenny per month with room and board. Leorio angrily objects that the salary would not even buy a stethoscope; no acceptance is shown 252.

Appearance

Leorio is a tall man whose suit and sunglasses initially give Luo Ye the impression of a third-rate salesman 8.

• Formal clothing: Runs the Hunter Exam’s opening marathon in a suit while carrying his briefcase 13.
• Older-looking face: Killua repeatedly calls him an “old man,” despite his being nineteen 13.
• Yorknew outfit: Wears a flashy striped suit, bright red tie, small sunglasses, and glossy slicked-back hair 96.

Personality

Leorio is loud, quick-tempered, and openly attracted to money. He boasts about mansions, cars, and fine wine, becomes furious at age-related teasing, and enthusiastically pursues business opportunities and large rewards. His confidence can outrun his judgment, particularly during the tower trial and the Phantom Troupe bounty search 8 13 28 107.

His actions reveal a strong caregiving instinct beneath that bravado. He treats strangers during preliminary tests, tends to injured friends, and puts Kurapika’s recovery ahead of further adventure. The Kiriko explicitly recognize his kindness as a quality valuable to a Hunter 8 10 66 117 130.

Fear does not erase his loyalty or pride. He is terrified by Hisoka and Luo Ye’s strength, yet warns Luo Ye of an attack and fights him rather than surrendering immediately. He also helps rescue Killua and responds resourcefully when Gon and Killua disappear 16 58 60 110.
