6) Mashu

He tried to spoof Gon. Eventually, he didn,t arrive the real exam field.

7) Tonpa

No. 16

Tonpa (トンパ Tonpa?) is nicknamed the "Rookie Crusher" by other candidates with more experience taking the exam. Tonpa has taken the exam for 35 consecutive terms, but has somehow never managed to pass. He often brags of his experience to those taking the Hunter Exam for the first time and then offers them a helping hand. Of course, this is merely subterfuge as he takes a perverse pleasure in sabotaging their attempts to get the license. This time around, he trailed Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio while attempting various means to foil their advancement. In order to do this, he used methods like spiking drinks with a strong laxative, feigning fatigue to delay the group's progress, and being contradictory simply to delay progress in a time-sensitive arena. To his chagrin, these had no measurable effect on their progress. He also attended the following hunter exam (during the Greed Island arc), where he was defeated by Killua; Tonpa was unable to keep hold of his number tag. Tonpa is voiced by Yoshihiro Togshi.

8) Hanzo

No. 294

Hanzo (ハンゾー Hanzō?) is an 18-year old Jōnin ninja from the Cloud Hidden Village whom has trained in the art of ninjutsu from the moment he could stand. He decided to become a Hunter in order to find the elusive Hermit's Scroll. After the first part of the exam, which is a marathon, Hanzo is easily able to converse while running—most of the others are breathless and struggling. In the second test, featuring cooking, he is the only one to know what 'sushi' is. He is the third candidate to clear the deadly traps and puzzles of the Trick Tower. When several people are stranded in Lippo's 'bonus stage', Hanzo takes the lead in getting them out. In the final test of the Hunter Exam, Hanzo is forced to battle Gon. His speed, strength, and battle experience easily exceed that of Gon. However, the only way to pass the final test to is force your opponent to admit defeat—Gon refuses to do so even after being severely beaten. Hanzo breaks Gon's arm to force him to admit defeat, but Gon still refuses. Noting the lack of hate in Gon's eyes after this act, Hanzo realizes he actually has come to like Gon. He willingly bows out of the battle, giving Gon the victory needed for him to pass the final test. It is later stated by Wing that Hanzo learned Nen after the Hunter Exam, though he has yet to reappear in the series. Hanzo is voiced by Yoshiaki Matsumoto.

9) Gittarackur

No. 301

He is the disguise of Illumi.

10) Pokkle

No. 5

Pokkle (ポックル Pokkuru^?) Pokkle was taking his second attempt to pass the Hunter exam. He is an accomplished archer that carries a bow and shaft of arrows wherever he goes. The arrows are tipped with a potent tranquillizer that, even with a small nick, induces paralysis for any person for up to a week. Pokkle's aim in life is to become a successful wildlife hunter through obtaining the license. During the discussion that took place after the end of the Exam, Pokkle had lingering doubts over the way Kurapika had passed the last stage. In fact, he was always wary of Kurapika as he excelled on all aspects of character. After the Hunter Exam, Pokkle is not seen again until the chimera ant arc, where he is traveling with several hunters and Ponzu. After being defeated by several chimera ants, Pokkle is kidnapped and then manipulated by Neferpitou into telling the chimera ants about nen. After revealing it to them, Pokkle is killed and eaten by the queen. Pokkle is voiced by Yukiko Tamaki.

11) Ponzu

No. 246

Ponzu (ポンズ?) was one of the 24 that managed to enter the fourth stage of the Hunter Exam. Ponzu's secret weapon lies within her round cap, carrying neurotoxic bees under the surface that emerge and attack her enemies when threatened. During the fourth stage, her bees accidentally end up killing Bourbon after falling into his trap. Ponzu is rescued by Gon, but her badge is taken by Leorio when she is unconscious, causing her to fail the exam. She was examinee #246 during the Hunter Exam. Ponzu later accompanies Pokkle a year later to the N.G.L. region on an expedition. Their group learns of the dangers of the chimera ants and attempt to warn the outside world. However, before they get the chance Zazan's squad detects them and Ponzu is the only one able to escape. She runs only far enough to send a bee with a warning to the strongest hunter nearby, who happens to be Kite. She is killed moments later by an officer from Zazan's squad.
