ANIME BREAKDOWN:
ハンター ｘ ハンター
HUNTER x HUNTER
Genei Ryodan
BONORENOLF
ボノレノフ
Oh, come on! No one's favorite character is Bonorenolf. He's a leather-stripped mummy whose main purpose is to round out the whole "famous monsters" theme (Frankenstein, Sphinx, etc.) Drills holes in his body to pass sound through. Give me Arnold Vosloo any day...
COLTOPI
コルトピ
Of an indeterminate gender (although I'm guessing female), Coltopi is able to replicate anything s/he touches. Coltopi also hangs around Kuroro as a bodyguard. No word yet on the Cousin Itt hairstyle or the creepy Sadako-Ringu eyeball.
FEITANG
フェイタン
Either Feitang has a touch of the sadist about him, or he really dislikes Gon. From the omnipresent skull face-mask, you'd swear he had some facial issues, but he's quite an attractive lad without the kerchief. Just a touch on the nasty side.
FRANKLIN
フランクリン
If you think "Frankenstein's Monster", you wouldn't be far wrong. Massive and thoughtful, Franklin shoots bullets from his flip-topped fingertips. Spoke in defense of Hisoka at the Ryodan headquarters.
HISOKA
ヒソカ
Hisoka joined the Spiders rather late in order to kill Kuroro, whom he deeply admires. He's sweet on Machi and has a nasty habit of skipping out on Spider meetings. Kuroro seems to like him, though.
KURORO
クロロ
The leader of the Genei Ryodan, Kuroro ("The Colonel") steals his abilities from other people. He's rational, competent and even somewhat likeable when he's not killing people. Kuroro is such a bad-ass that no one mocks him for his fringed fur collar and girlie earrings.
MACHI
マチ
Machi seems none-too-impressed with Hisoka and his obvious flirtations. She's skilled at stretching her psychic energy into a thread and using it to heal, trace or garrotte people. Has a good gut instinct about people.
NOBUNAGA
ノブナガ
A cranky, bored samurai, Nobunaga hates Hisoka for betraying the Ryodan and wants Gon to join in Ubo's place. Misses his best friend, Ubo, and wants to kill Kurapica slowly and painfully.
PAKUNODA
パクノダ
Pakunoda is the resident Ryodan mind-reader and bra-shunner. Her breasts feature so prominently into her character that the animators never draw her much up from chest-level. Pakunoda's one of Kurora's bodyguards and best friends, and will later be killed, indirectly, by Kurapica.
PHINX
フィンクス
AKA "The Sphinx." He even has Egyptian headgarb & a floor-length robe that he sometimes dons. Instead of hanging out with Bonorenolf (which would just be too cute), Phinx keeps malevolently in the background.
SHALNARK
シャルナーク
Ranma without the transgender problem? Shanark can control people remotely using his cell phone. He also has a (undoubtedly stolen) Hunter's license which he uses for gathering information on his victims. Yup, those are Hisoka's playing cards he found back at headquarters.
SHIZUKU
シズク
Is there any greater love than that between a girl and her vacuum cleaner? Shizuku is an absent-minded assassin who kills people and sucks up their remains with "Demi-chan", her vacuum cleaner. Would have been able to beat Gon at arm-wrestling if only she had used her left (correct) hand.
UBOUGIN
ウボォーギン
Doomed member of the Genei Ryodan, Ubougin's talent was massive strength and near indestructability. Best friends with Nobunaga. Ubo managed to kill quite a few of the Mafia bodyguards before Kurapica killed him.
