Kikyō Zoldyck (キキョウ=ゾルディック Kikyō Zorudikku) is Killua's mother. She was injured attempting to prevent Killua from running away from home to take the Hunter Exam, although she is proud of Killua for doing so. She is the maternal figure of the Zoldyck family and is an assassin herself. She seems to be slightly paranoid and is cautious of Killua's friends. Kikyō is looking forward to see Killua excelling in assassination and anticipates that one day he will carry on the family's business. According to Illumi, Killua is her favorite son.

Kikyo is 170 centimeters tall (about 5 ft 7 in) and dresses in elaborate Victorian style clothing. According to the Hunter X Hunter data book, she was 42 years old at the beginning of the series. Her face is covered in bandages (most likely resulting from Killua's attack on her) and has an electronic visor covering her eyes. The visor is capable of being used as a communications device, although what other purpose it suits is unknown. But when Kikyō cries, the visor shows static similar to a television.

Kikyo in Killua's flashback

In Killua's flashback to when he was still a little kid in chapter 322, she looked more normal than she does now, wearing a kimono and having her black hair pulled into a big bun updo; there was no bandage on her face, though the visor could already be seen at that time. In the same chapter she tested Alluka's ability by ordering Mitsuba to decline all requests from Alluka no matter how small they were. Due to that, Mitsuba and her lover Hasama, who was not around them at that time, were mysteriously crushed into minced meat simultaneously. Killua explained that this was the consequence of saying 'No' to her requests 4 times.

In the 1999 anime adaptation, Kikyo appears again in a short cameo in the Greed Island Arc. She watches Silva as he reminds Killua that "waiting is an assassin's most important job". Beside her stands Kalluto, who is also watching.
