Tonpa

トンパ

Tonpa (トンパ, Tonpa) is the self-proclaimed Rookie Crusher of the Hunter Exam. Tonpa is examinee #16 in the 287th Hunter Exam and examinee #36 in the 288th Hunter Exam. Tonpa is a short, fat man with tan skin, brown hair, a large nose, and thick eyebrows. He wears a large, blue v-neck shirt, with a white symbol resembling a lowercase "ｉ" on its right side, over a matching pair of light, blue-grey sweats. He often carries a satchel. After attempting to pass the extremely difficult Hunter Exam several times, Tonpa began to enjoy the failures of newbies, to the point he actively began to try to crush their ambitions at the cost of never passing the exam himself. He is so fascinated by his hobby that he does not hesitate to put the candidates in potentially lethal situations. However, despite the fact that he enjoys crushing the hopes and dreams of Hunter examinees, he seemed to be slightly worried when Killua drank what he thought to be a lethal dose of laxatives. This shows that despite his faults Tonpa has some level of standards and does not want to kill fellow examinees. He puts up a friendly facade to earn the trust of rookies, and then deceive and manipulate them into failing.
