Gon is a young man with black hair tipped with green and large brown eyes. His usual attire consists of a green jacket with reddish edges covering a black or white sleeveless shirt, green shorts, and green lace-up boots. In some arcs, such as the Greed Island and Chimera Ants arcs, he removes his jacket, leaving only the lower part of the suit. In the Greed Island arc and at the beginning of the Chimera Ants arc, he wears the Paladin's Necklace, a Greed Island card with the ability to purge the external effects of a card on the user.

Gon is an athletic, rugged, and likeable boy who is always looking for adventure. He's not very good at math. However, having spent a lot of time in the forest as a child, he's very good with animals. Gon is an Enhancer, a type of person known for being simple-minded and determined. This determination and talent lead both potential allies and enemies to trust him and take his side. He has superhuman senses; Gon has a sense of smell almost like a dog's, excellent eyesight, and a very refined sense of taste. Gon wants to become a Hunter because he wants to understand the depths of an occupation that would cause a parent to choose it over being with their own child.

Due to his upbringing with his aunt and maternal grandmother, and living isolated from the world on an island, Gon is very innocent and curious, easily surprised by simple, everyday things. He is also a kind and cordial person, treating others with respect and using honorifics, with his closest friends being the only exceptions.

One of his main and most noticeable traits is his purity. Throughout the series, it has been mentioned that Gon is a pure and cheerful person who, regardless of the circumstances, always remains optimistic with a smile on his face.

At the same time, his flaws lie in his temperament and impulsive nature. Gon sometimes doesn't think things through, and such actions have led him to suffering. His will is stronger than most and he can be very sensible, but this clear mind can also make him very cold at times. Despite possessing talent beyond the norm for his age, and whenever his abilities are challenged, he feels like he has to prove his antagonist wrong. He constantly strives for greater power, often becoming exceptionally strong in his anger. But Gon's anger also leads him to very reckless tendencies. When his emotions are ignited, Gon becomes irrational and completely oblivious to anything else.

Gon is extremely confident in his abilities. Sometimes, he doesn't realize when an opponent is much stronger, or even after he knows his opponent is stronger; regardless, he will continue to fight. He refuses to accept himself as inferior to any opponent he disagrees with, including those clearly stronger than him. Togashi initially portrays this as naiveté. Besides becoming a Hunter and finding his father, Gon desires strength above all else. Gon's greatest insecurity lies in his own weakness and inability to protect those close to him.
