How it's used

Refers specifically to a professional killer or someone hired to eliminate a target, often carrying a dramatic or cinematic tone. While perfectly understandable in daily speech, it is more commonly encountered in discussions about movies, video games, or historical accounts rather than real life. Use it when describing a character role or a specific archetype.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe a common murderer or criminal, as it implies a calculated, often professional or political motive. For a general killer, use 殺人犯 instead.
