Saiyu

Saiyu is a Hunter and is also is a member of the Zodiac Twelve with the nickname "Monkey."

Appearance
Saiyu is a lanky man with a very short haircut. Part of the hair at the back and on the top of his head was shaved to form two small heart shapes. In general, his face looks like that of a monkey. He wears a headband, which is most likely a reference to the magical headband of the Monkey King Sun Wukong from the Chinese classic Journey to the West, a pair of long wristbands, and a sleeveless jacket short enough to show his six pack abs.

Personality
Saiyu is characterized by directness in manner and speech, without subtlety or evasion. He is not afraid of saying unkind or rude things about 2 powerful fellow Zodiac Twelve members Ging and Pariston. His rudeness seems to be frowned upon by Cheadle, the Dog.

New Hunter Chairman Election
After Netero's death Saiyu and the other Zodiac Twelwe members were gathered to vote for anew Hunter Association Chairman. He alongside the other Zodiac Twelve members is hostile towards Pariston, especially after he proposes himself as the new Chairman. Like the other Zodiac Twelve he is forced to follow Ging's rules to elect the new Chairman. Despite his strong dislike of Pariston, during a meeting to decide new rules for the 3rd round of election, he uses a staff to stop Kanzai from charging at Pariston.

Nen Abilities
So far his abilities are yet to be shown, he seems to be fond of using a staff in combat.Since he is part of the Zodiac twelve theres no doubt hes a capable Nen user
