Biography
Kurapika (Japanese: クラピカ, Hepburn: Kurapika) was a member of the Kuruta clan that were a reticent group of people that chose to live in obscurity in the Lukso Province. As a child, they almost fell from a cliff but were saved by their best friend Pairo though he instead injured both his legs and eyes. Over time, Pairo's condition began to worsen each day with Kurapika feeling responsible for the incident. They then resolved to venture out of the forest and search the outside world for a doctor to help treat Pairo. This saw them approaching the Kurta Clan's elder several times where they requested to go out into the world. However, each time, their request was refused which ultimately sparked a long-lasting debate between the two. Kurapika came to perceive the elders fear of the outside world to be both unreasonable and backwards. After one such argument, Kurapika spoke to Pairo about the matter and it was only then that they learnt that people outside the Kurta Clan lacked their scarlet eyes which led to their kinsmen beng persecuted as a result.
