TV anime "HUNTER x HUNTER" 10th anniversary illustration unveiled! Congratulatory messages from Megumi Ban (Gon) and Mariya Ise (Killua)!

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the TV anime "HUNTER x HUNTER" broadcast in October 2021, Takahiro Yoshimatsu, the character designer, has created a new illustration to commemorate the 10th anniversary.

HUNTER x HUNTER," serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) since 1998, is an epic adventure story of boys drawn by Yoshihiro Togashi. The main character, Gon, who joined the Hunter Examination to become a hunter like his father and to meet his father, continues to challenge the "unknown" world with his friends Kirua, Leolio, and Kurapika, which has been a source of inspiration for many.

The TV anime "HUNTER x HUNTER," based on the same work, was broadcast from October 2011 to September 2014 on Nippon Television Network Corporation and other networks, and is still supported by many fans as a work that portrays a new "Hunter World" while maintaining the passionate story of the original work.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the anime's broadcast in October 2021, Takahiro Yoshimatsu, the character designer, has created a new illustration to commemorate the 10th anniversary.
The illustration shows the main character Gon and his best friend Killua smiling and holding up the 10 symbols drawn with "remembrance," while Kurapika, Leolio, and Hisoka also seem to have rushed to the festival.

In addition, congratulatory comments from Megumi Ban, the voice actress who plays the main character Gon, and Mariya Ise, who plays Gon's best friend Killua, have arrived in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the anime, and will be introduced here as well.

Comments
Han Megumi, who plays the main character Gon, and Mariya Ise, who plays Gon's best friend Killua, have also commented.

Megumi Ban as Gon Freaks
This is my beginning, and it will always be my starting point.
It has been 10 years since I was allowed to stand at the starting point.
Hunter has given me many encounters and something irreplaceable in my life.
It is thanks to all of you that we have been able to continue to develop in this way.
I want to say thank you and congratulations for everything you have done for me.

Mariya Ise as Killua Zordic
I am now able to lead my life as a voice actor thanks to my encounter with HUNTER x HUNTER when I was 14 years old.
To think that a girl who was just a Killua fan would end up playing Killua 10 years later, at the age of 24... it's a dream come true (laughs).
Another 10 years from there...! I hope that the work will continue to be loved for many years to come.
I hope your work will continue to be loved for many years to come.
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary!
