Banpresto will release a pen of Gon-san from Hunter x Hunter, which can also double as a pen. This figure will appear as a prize in Banpresto crane gane machines in June 2025.
The Hunter x Hunter Gon-san pen figure stands at 60 centimeters long. You’ll need to uncap the hair part to use as a pen. Obviously, there’s a chance the pen can run out of ink. If that happens, though, the pen can still double as a figure to display around the house. It might be possible to open up the pen somehow and give it more ink, though. Pictures on the Banpresto website show the pen figure in action, and the length makes it look hard to use.
Gon-san is the fan nickname for Gon after he unleashes all his power when fighting against Pitou. During this fight, his body undergoes a massive change. He transforms into an adult, and his signature spiky hair becomes incredibly long; in the manga, Togashi even uses his hair to create the panels. Fans call him “Gon-san” as a way to show respect to him. While the scene in which Gon transforms into Gon-san is a pretty gruesome one, he looks surreal enough and his appearance was shocking enough that he also occupies a meme position in the fandom.
The Hunter x Hunter Gon-san pen figure will appear in Japan in June 2025. You can watch Hunter x Hunter on streaming services like Netflix and Crunchyroll.
