<p>Episode 147 begins with a long metaphysical monologue from Koala </p>

<blockquote class="spoiler">

He goes deep into his past history and his speculations on reincarnation itself.  Koala hopes that the girl's actual soul had moved on, past the cycle of reincarnation.    He suspects this is why Kite's soul now occupies what would have been her body.  Koala had likely been planning on suicide after talking to Kite.  Kite stops him and gives another option -- work for Kite and apologize every day.  I gathered that Kite was offering a path for Koala to build up some positive Karma.  He accepts.</p>

<p>Previous answers mentioned earlier episodes which described Kite was a girl.  Those were just quick mentions or a quick scene.  It was not until watching episode 147 that I understood the bigger picture.  The aforementioned <a href="http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Kite" rel="nofollow">Wikia article</a> explains a lot of this as well, but watch episode 147 as it contains the main explanation.</p>

Perhaps it might be more useful to furnish the details here. You may want to include spoiler tags if you feel that that might be the reason why your answer is short. A short description or the explanation may be helpful here.

Thanks for the advice; I'll add some more info.  I was wondering why my answer had been down-voted.  With the main question worded as "When was Kite shown ...", I thought an episode number would be adequate.

Interesting--my answer received a 2nd down-vote after extending it.  Could someone explain what they didn't like?  It is directly responsive to the "can anyone tell me when/how it happened" part of the OP's question.  It also added information not contained in the original answer.  Now that a third person has answered there may be overlap, but I believe the 2nd down vote occurred before then.

I didnt downvote at all. I think your answer probably okay. I don't watch the series though.
