Hunter × Hunter (ハンター×ハンター, Hunter × Hunter^?) is a manga by Yoshihiro Togashi about a 12-year-old boy named Gon Freaks, and his quest to find his father, Ging Freaks. Ging is a Hunter, which in the setting of Hunter × Hunter means that he is a member of society's elite, with a license to go anywhere or do anything.

Hunter x Hunter is one of Togashi's two most famous titles (the other being YuYu Hakusho). It started running in Japan in Weekly Shonen Jump in the 14th issue of 1998. As of volume 20 the manga has sold over 36,958,000 copies in Japan.^[1] The manga has also been translated to different languages in many countries around the world. It has spawned an anime series, whose story is continued in three OVAs.

In the last few years, there have been several long breaks in the release of the manga. Most recently, the manga was put on hiatus in mid-2006, and resumed on October 6, 2007.
