Short answer: There’s no definitive canon label — Hisoka’s sexuality is left ambiguous.

What the series shows
- Togashi never explicitly calls Hisoka gay, bisexual, etc.
- In canon, Hisoka is attracted to people who excite him — usually strong or promising fighters — and that attraction isn’t limited by gender. He repeatedly expresses erotic/obsessive interest in male characters (notably Gon and some opponents) while treating other characters of any gender as objects of fascination if they promise a good fight.
- Because his interest is driven more by thrill and potential than by the target’s gender, many fans read him as bisexual, pansexual, or otherwise queer.

If you want, I can point to specific scenes that fans cite for these interpretations or summarize different fan readings of Hisoka.
