Leorio Paradinight Character Guide
Who Is Leorio Paradinight?
Leorio is a tall, manly-looking young man with small brown eyes, black hair, and a spiked crew cut. He typically wears a dark blue business suit, black shoes, and a pair of tea-shade sunglasses. Some of the characters, such as Killua near the beginning of the story, mistake Leorio for an old man, but he is actually a lot younger than he looks, being a teenager at the start of the series. Leorio is initially introduced as a selfish narcissist who greatly emphasizes material wealth.
Leorio Paradinight’s Role in Hunter x Hunter
Despite his assertions that he is only after money, he eventually reveals to Kurapika that his dream is to become a doctor to help the poor one day. He believes that all things in the world (lives, dreams, etc.) can be bought and that becoming a Hunter will provide him with the necessary funds for his medical education. Due to his first spat with Kurapika, as well as the test on the way to the navigator's cabin, he seems to be sensitive to those who do not take him seriously or treat him with disrespect.
Personality, Abilities, and Story Impact
His real priorities seem to be friends first, then his dream of becoming a great doctor, with everything else afterward. Leorio is not one to balk and retreat when faced with overwhelming odds in battle. A loyal, trustworthy ally who greatly values the ties of friendship, he acts like the 'big brother' of the group.
