Ging Freecss is the father of Gon Freecss. He is a Double Star
Archaeological Hunter (though he can apply for a Triple Star License),
and a former Zodiac with the codename Boar, Inoshishi). Finding Ging is
Gon's motivation for becoming a Hunter. Ging seems to be a short
individual, being only a bit taller than his son. He shares Gon's hazel
eyes. He has untrimmed facial hair and black spiky hair. During his
introduction, Ging wears a turban-like cap on his head most of the time,
with some hair locks protruding out from it. He also wears plain baggy
white pants and a long sleeve shirt.
On top of that, he has a
slip-on-head cloth that looks like a tank top and stretches down to the
waist, and hangs off the waist all the way down to the knees without
covering the sides of his legs; and he fastens that cloth with a black
belt-like band around his waist. Ging dons a normal dark blue/grey scarf
wrapped around his neck and long skinny black crew boots. Ging has a
shy and stubborn personality, to the point that he only wants Gon to
meet him alone and claims that it would be cowardly of Gon to bring a
friend to meet him, causing one of his friends to wonder if he is afraid
of crowds. Judging by his actions at the New Hunter Chairman Election
to ensure Netero's will be carried out, he seems to respect the late
Chairman considerably. Ging is also rather volatile, yet extremely
intelligent. In spite of his ability to make flawless plans years in
advance, he occasionally acts without knowing why, surprising even
himself. According to his friends, Ging has a childlike enthusiasm,
going on about a game he created. He is also somewhat dismissive, when
he changed Dwun's name without the latter's consent or when he refused
to explain more details to Elena. Still, his charm would draw more
colleagues later in his life.
Additionally, Ging admires
people who rely on their own capabilities to achieve their goals, as his
challenges to Gon and Kite prove, and who show passion in what they do:
in fact, Ging is, above all, an enthusiast Hunter. He is always after
something, no matter how far from where he starts, but aside from the
goal, it is the quest that he enjoys. Ging is the only grandson of Gon's
great-grandmother. He and Mito are cousins. Ging left Whale Island to
take the 267th Hunter Examination not long before turning 12. Right
after his departure, Mito's parents and his father died consecutively.
He was the only participant to pass the 267th Hunter Exam. Ging returned
to Whale Island ten years afterward with a two-year-old Gon. He
intended to leave Gon in the custody of his grandmother for a while,
telling her that he and Gon's mother had separated. However, he lost the
custody of his son in court to his cousin Mito. After becoming a
licensed Hunter, Ging devoted himself to the excavation and preservation
of archaeological ruins. He used his own fortune to accomplish a
perfect preservation and restoration of the ruins so that everyone can
see them. His achievements in archaeology are now considered an
exemplary model for working on ruins throughout the world. Ging has
become very rich and is as powerful as a president of a country. He is
currently a Double-Star Hunter and qualifies for a Triple-Star License,
but because of his shyness and stubbornness, has not applied for one. He
has, however, remained a mysterious figure and information about him is
classified even in the official Hunters database. Ging is also the main
creator of the Nen-based game Greed Island. Chairman Netero once told
Biscuit that Ging was one of the five best Nen users in the world. After
Netero's death, it is revealed that Ging is one of the twelve Hunters
hand-picked by the former Chairman to be in charge of the election for a
new Hunter chairman: the Zodiacs. They all were given code names based
on the signs of the Chinese zodiac, with Ging being known as "the Boar".
