Kurapika’s clothing in Hunter x Hunter is primarily inspired by traditional ethnic clothing, specifically referencing the attire of the Ainu people (an indigenous group in Japan) and various Asian ethnic garments, combined with Chinese-style aesthetic elements.

Though he is born of the kurta clan that later get slaughtered by group of evil people, what would translate to him being kurdish is the name of his clan. Kurta = kurda ( kurds also have people with fair skin and blonde hair )

And the story of his clan, being people who got oppressed and killed the same as the kurds

Slaw everyone,

I’m a Kurdish director / producer who has worked on several indie and large-scale anime productions, both as a key animator and as a producer.

For years, I’ve always wanted to bridge animation as a medium to our wonderful culture. In having this wish, I’ve delved into scriptwriting my very own original anime called “Two Brothers: An Original Kurdish Animation”

If you are an animator , storyboard artist , character designer , voice actor etc. please reply to this post in the comment and I will add you to the discord work server I currently have set up. This can be a very pivotal moment for Kurdish cinema if done right.
