Anime fans born in the 1990s and 2000s will undoubtedly be familiar with “Hunter X Hunter.” Like “Dragon Ball Z” and “Samurai X,” it is such a classic that it will always land on the best animes lists — and on the hearts of these fans, of course.
This anime, which aired from 2011 to 2014, tells the story of Gon Freecss, a boy who discovers that his dad, who left him at a young age, is actually a world-famous Hunter. In the story, a Hunter is a licensed professional specializing in fantastical pursuits like treasure hunting, locating rare or unidentified animals, hunting down lawless individuals, and surveying uncharted territories.
Gon then embarks on a journey to becoming a Hunter himself and (don’t get teary-eyed) eventually finds his father. Also, along the way, our hero meets other Hunters and encounters the paranormal.
“Hunter X Hunter” fans will surely appreciate knowing these: the ages, heights, and birthdays of every main character in the anime. So, prepare your notepads as PVP Live presents these details (their ages are listed at the time of their debut in the show).
