Trivia

Between the Japanese writings of "Colt", his name as a Chimera Ant, and "Kurt", his human name, only the first syllable changes. When written in rōmaji, the first letter is also the same. This was likely done to indicate the continuity between the two characters.

Miscellaneous

Although probably unrelated, curiously:
- "kurt" is Turkish for "wolf";
- and "Kurt" is also a German first name.

 ==Plot==
 ===Chimera Ant arc===
-Kurt first appears in a journal monologue done by himself. Kurt mentions that he and his little sister Reina go up into the mountains to pick some fruits. On their way there Reina spots a snake and becomes scared and starts to cry. So Kurt picked up a stick and fended off the snake. It's mentioned that Reina is only 5 years old and Kurt being 4 years older than her, he takes it upon himself to protect her. He also is told by others that Reina is very reliant as much as she can on him and feels embarrassed when she thanks him so much. Kurt also mentions that when Reina grows up, she wants to marry Kurt, but that's impossible because they're siblings, thus Kurt has promised himself he'll protect Reina from harm, until she finds a worthy man that she likes more than him. Apparently one day when the two children go fishing by the riverside and catch and then cook some fish for their mother to give her a surprise, when they're confronted by a giant crab like chimera ant.<ref name=chap187/>

While wielding a stick, he tells Reina to run and yells at the monster to not come any closer and to get away, but the monster off screen kills the children and brings their remains to the [[Chimera Ant Queen]] making them the first humans the Queen devours.<ref name=chap187/> Both Kurt and Reina are later reborn as Colt<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 19, Chapter 188</ref> and Shidore and the desire to protect Reina was so strong that it was passed onto [[Colt]] and it has a great influence on Colt's mentality.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 19, Chapter 189</ref> Kurt and his little sister Reina briefly appear again in a flashback with their mother Haruna.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 21, Chapter 217</ref>
