**Kalluto Zoldyck** is the younger brother of Killua and a secondary character in Hunter X Hunter.

## Background

Kalluto Zoldyck is the younger brother of Killua. He was initially introduced accompanying his mother during Gon's retrieval of Killua from Kukuroo Mountain. Kalluto appears again during the Phantom Troupe arc, assisting his older brother Illumi with the assassination of the ten mafia dons that placed bounties on the Phantom Troupe's heads. After the Phantom Troupe's entrance into Greed Island, Kalluto joins as Hisoka's replacement. During the Phantom Troupe's assault on Zazan's palace in Meteor City, he reveals he joined the Spiders with the intention of finding his missing older brother Killua.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Nen:** Nen is the ability to use the user's vital energy, or aura, and manipulate it. Kalluto is a Manipulator-type Nen user.
	+ **Surveillance Paper Dolls:** By attaching a piece of confetti to a person's body and creating a paper doll of that person, Kalluto can hear anything being said in the vicinity of that person, allowing him to gain valuable information without being detected. Not even skilled Nen users such as members of the Phantom Troupe realized that the technique was being used on them.
	+ **Dance of the Serpent's Bite:** The technique is initiated when Kalluto raises his hand and drops a certain amount of paper confetti. By swinging his fan in the air with elegant movements, he can lift them up and throw them at his opponent from various angles. If someone sticks to his body, he can move his fan again to gather the remaining confetti and hurl them at the opponent again, accumulating them in the form of a stream resembling a snake. Snaking through the air, the stream pierces the part of the body where the confetti had previously stuck. If there is more than one, Kalluto can gather the confetti again to repeat the attack. Using this ability multiple times, Kalluto was able to rip through the body of a chimera ant without difficulty.
	+ **Zetsu:** Stops the flow of your body's aura completely, closing off all aura nodules. This makes them more difficult or even impossible to perceive or feel. However, this means that the defense to any Nen, Ten attack is taken down, making it a major risk to use. Zetsu can also relieve fatigue because it interrupts the use of the aura.
* **Rhythm Echo:** The Rhythm Echo is an advanced art of assassination, thanks to which the user creates multiple afterimages of their body through a varied cadence of steps. There is a complete absence of noise during movement.
* **Weapon Specialist:** Kalluto is fully capable of fighting with his paper fan
