One of the four main characters of [[Hunter x Hunter]].

Leorio is initially introduced as a very selfish narcissist who places great emphasis on material wealth. Despite his assertions that he is only after money, he eventually reveals to [[Kurapika]] that he lost a close friend to a debilitating illness and this inspired him to become a doctor and earn money in order to help the sick and poor. He believes that all things in the world (lives, dreams, etc.) can be bought and that becoming a Hunter will provide him with the necessary funds for his medical education. In the Hunter Exam, Leorio meets [[gon_freecss|Gon]], [[killua_zoldyck|Killua]] and [[Kurapika]], the other three main characters of the series.
