## **Biography**

Kunka is first introduced when Gon follows Fuuro to his farting challenge against him. He easily brushes off Fuuro’s fart and unleashes his fart, knocking out Fuuro. After Fuuro and Gon’s extensive fart training, and while Fuuro failed once again, Gon successfully defeats Kunka, humbling him in the process.

Kunka reappears alongside Fuuro when they have a fart contest in the wild. Their competition gets interrupted by Ai Queen and her lemur servants. Kunka instantly falls for her and attempts to talk to her. Unfortunately, a fart slips out, and Ai and her followers leave. After Ai’s rejection, Gon and Fuuro visit Kunka in his den where he confesses to wanting to find a way to not fart again. Seeing a way to claim Kunka’s title of The King of the Stink, Fuuro and Gon agree to help him. After numerous failures, Kunka summons the courage to attempt asking out Ai again. Once she learns of Kunka’s desire to never fart again, she hypnotizes Kunka into never farting. When Fuuro hears this, he shames Kunka for giving up on his gift. Upon realizing what farting meant to Kunka, Ai removes her hypnotism and allows Kunka to compete with Fuuro. When Kunka defeats Fuuro, Ai congratulates Kunka as share a muzzle rub. The rub gets interrupted by Kunka farting only for the two to share a laugh about it.

## **Personality**

Kunka’s personality evolves through the series. At first he might be a rough antagonist while in later episodes, he is more of a dedicated lover.

In his first appearance, he acts prideful and intimidating towards Gon and Fuuro. He even goes as far to laugh at Gon’s attempt to compete. Once Gon wins their contest, Kunka congratulates him and accepts his defeat.

In the episode, *Smelly Romance*, Kunka’s boastfulness with his farts is subdued. This episode also shows Kunka’s softer side with his crush on Ai. He loved her so much that he was willing to give up the one thing that defined him in order to make her love him.

His prideful personality still shows up as he made fun of Ai for farting. However, he does, eventually, apologize for it and goes back together with Ai.

## **Farting Ability**

Similar to all of the Gon characters, Kunka’s farts take on the physical appearance of the color of his hide, purple. The farts' stench is largely based based on both the volume of the visible farts and the deepness of their sounds. Kunka, also, can inflate his barrel-shaped body as a way to increase the power of his farts. Before he farts, said body will inflate and quickly deflate upon releasing the fart.

## **Farting Highlights**

Kunka can hold a great amount of gas on his big body, but needs to regularly fart as he's shown having troubles holding his farts for too long, which tends to make him bloat up at times.

Kunka's farts are possibly naturally strong for being a skunk as his diet doesn't seem to be composed of many foods that produce gas until he is defeated and is seen disliking his new diet.
