The father of Gon Freecss, whose absence is Gon's motivation to become a Hunter. Nearly nothing is known about Ging Freecss except that he is a "Double Hunter" (has two stars). According to Kite, Ging already has the qualifications and can easily be a Triple Hunter. He's also very rich and as powerful as a president of a country. All other information about him is classified even in the official Hunters database. President Netero said to Bisuke that Ging is one of the five best Nen users in the world. He is also the main creator of the Greed Island game. For some reason, he wants Gon to meet him alone, claiming that it would be cowardly to bring others with him; this caused one of his friends to wonder if he's afraid of crowds.

Ging is (perhaps not much) older than 32, because he became a Hunter at the age of 12 and then married Gon's mother at age 20. When Gon was a 2 year old kid, Ging gave him to Mito Freecss and asked her to take care of him.

He claims that he doesn't want to see Gon because he is too ashamed of himself for being absent in Gon's life.
