just like Kurama is the second person that Yusuke meets out of the main team, Kurapika is the second person on the main team that Gon meets;

Enhanced Agility: Kurapika can jump several meters in the air and hit his opponents from various angles with acrobatic moves without losing his balance. [58] This is first proven when he leaps on top of a chandelier during the exam to be hired by Light Nostrade [45] and later in the confrontation against Uvogin. [58] As a child, his personality was more akin to Gon's where he sought out adventure and had an impulsive nature. Kurapika was still protective of his friends, however, going as far as to beat a man for his derogatory comments against one. Despite his clan's name, Kurapika has never been shown with a full name. However, "Kurapika Kurta" is the name given by the fans. Among the four main characters, Kurapika is the only one whose last name has not been mentioned yet. Even though Kurapika already has six points from his own and Tonpa's badges, he still helps Leorio find his target Ponzu, examinee #246. [27] As they are looking for the target, they again encounter Hisoka, who tells them to give him their badges if they want to live. Kurapika says that he will give him the badge #118 which only means 1 point to them, as for the other 3 badges, they will fight with their lives to protect them.

Kurama, one of the main characters in Yoshihiro Togashi's other manga and anime, YuYu Hakusho, bears some similarities to Kurapika: According to the "Hunter × Hunter Manual" section found in the Yu ☆ Yu ☆ Hakusho official character book (Shueisha Jump remix), * Kurapika's stats are:Mizaistom reveals to Kurapika that he and Cheadle have already begun an internal investigation about the matter and that they reached the same conclusion that there's a mole among the Zodiacs; and since no one has direct connections to Beyond, all Zodiacs are considered suspects. He continues to explain that the former Chairman had appointed Pariston as the Vice-Chairman for entertainment while refusing to listen to any objections. Mizaistom voices his concern that Pariston might be a red herring to cover for the real spy. He admits to Kurapika that part of the reason he was chosen to join the Zodiacs was that he is an outsider, and therefore unrelated to either side. Mizaistom then demands that Kurapika keeps the existence of a mole in the Zodiacs a secret, and Kurapika agrees. Kurapika later apologizes to the rest of the Zodiacs for making accusations without having a grasp on the complicated situation within the Association and states that he is willing to use his connections with outlaws to offer information about Beyond and Kakin that government sources could never provide. Cheadle later assigns him to the Information Team with Mizaistom, Pyon, and Saccho in preparation for the voyage to the Dark Continent.

While following the Phantom Troupe, Gon and Killua are again captured. [74] Pakunoda questions them again and finds out who Kurapika is. [75] With the help of Leorio and Melody; Kurapika manages to capture Chrollo Lucilfer before Pakunoda could reveal what she has found out. [76] When Pakunoda comes with Gon and Killua to meet him for a hostage exchange, Kurapika uses his Judgment Chain to forbid Chrollo from using Nen or communicating with the other Phantom Troupe members, and also to forbid Pakunoda from revealing what she knows about him. [77] After the exchange, [78] Kurapika collapses from exhaustion due to his continual use of his Scarlet Eyes.

To Leorio) "My mind perceived that tattoo was a fake, but my emotions... I just saw red... and... to be honest... Whenever I see a spider, any spider, my rationality collapses, and I turn primal! Heh... I suppose that's reassuring. It means the rage inside me has not yet faded." [20] Kurapika relays his impressions to Hanzo and asks him to stay in Room 1013. He warns the ninja that Vergei might suspect the presence of a mole in their midst since he did not inquire about his sources. When Hanzo asks him what he ought to do next, Kurapika tells him to prioritize finding information on how to ensure Prince Marayam's safety. When Hanzo leaves, with Babimyna's consent, Kurapika answers Sakata's questions about Room 1013, adding that he suspects the Nen beast of the Thirteenth Prince to be involved. Meanwhile, he wonders about Babimyna's conduct.
