I found it via someone's Japanese Twitter. By the name of @cotone_ai, there was a couple pictures on a tweet of theirs

hunterxhell:

oh!! holy shit!! thank you for the info! link to tweet is here.

“The Shinjo Mogami Manga Museum was featured on television and a character sheet from Hunter x Hunter was shown! A character who seems to be Gon’s mother also appeared. Was drawn in November 1997.”

close ups:

the character who “seems” to be gon’s mother is the woman next to what appears to be a concept of ging. cute!

kite, gon, kurapika, and leorio are the only ones labelled with names. surprisingly, killua doesn’t seem to be here, unless that character in the bottom right corner is an early concept of him (killua w/ long hair??)

this is SUPER interesting, omg, thanks again for the heads up!

olivemeister:

hxh-production: Manga concepts?! And someone who could be Gon’s mom?! Woah!! I love seeing stuff like this, I wonder if someone has clearer photos, or footage of the whole broadcast! since no one has suggested this, isn’t it possible that this is mito?

i think that’s possible! i would be surprised though, because mito’s design is so drastically different from this mystery character, and by this point in the character design process it’s looks like togashi nailed down the basic designs of the cast.

but since people are reblogging this tags/comments like “wow i love gon’s mom!” i want to emphasize again that there’s no name label next to this design and the japanese fan’s comment was ゴンの母親らしきキャラ (“a character that seems like gon’s mother”). it’s all fan speculation! please take with a grain of salt :)
