Kurapika is a member of the Kurta tribe who were massacred by the Phantom Troupe (The Spiders) 4 years prior the Hunter exam. The Kurta tribe was an isolated group of people whose eyes would turn scarlet when angered or excited. These scarlet eyes were known to be beautiful, being one of the seven most beautiful in the world. Because of this, the Kurta tribe was constantly pursued and eventually massacred. The eyes of the tribe members were all taken away during the massacre. Kurapika is so far the only known survivor with a heart bent on revenge. He strives to have his revenge against the Phantom Troupe as well as recover the eyes of his tribe members.
Despite having a heart full of hatred, Kurapika is very kind and loyal towards his friends. He is an extremely intelligent person but at the same time reckless. Kurapika is from the materialization nen group and from determination, increased the power of his nen ability to the point that it was formidable against the Phantom Troupe.
Kurapika can conjure a unique weapon — five chains that extend from each finger on his right hand. Some of the fingers were specially designed to deal vengeance on the Phantom Troupe. To increase his effectiveness against the formidable Phantom Troupe, Kurapika places strict Limitations on the usage of his chains. The purpose of the chain on Kurapika's index finger has yet to be revealed.

== Trivia ==
* In the official databook, his name is also spelled as "Curarpikt".
** In one of Hunter × Hunter's card collections, the character is also alternatively named as "Kurapica".
* In the Japanese manga, Kurapika uses the pronoun "watashi," which is a formal, gender-neutral pronoun most often used by women. As a child, Kurapika used the pronoun "ore," which is an informal pronoun used by men. A child that uses "ore" is trying to give an older impression and appear tough.
* Despite his clan's name, Kurapika has never been shown with a full name. However, "Kurapika Kurta" is the name given by the fans. Among the four main characters, Kurapika is the only one whose last name has not been mentioned yet.
* Kurapika wears two earrings, although only one is seen throughout the series.
* Kurapika is the only character who falls under two different Nen categories.
* During Kurapika's Water Divination on the Black Whale, his aura caused the water to change colors and the leaf to spin (his result as a Specialist).
* After killing Uvogin, Kurapika temporarily stopped wearing his chains out in the open. This probably contributed to him not being recognized as the "Chain Dude" by the Troupe members who passed themselves off for auction staff when he bid at the Underground Auction and picked up the forged Scarlet Eyes.
* Kurapika's Japanese voice actress Yuki Kaida, also voiced the Heavens Arena 200th Floor Clerk and Fumi in the 1999 anime adaptation.
* In the Hunter × Hunter The Real 4D attraction movie at Universal Studios Japan, Kurapika's bounty was 400 million.
