Kúnos, Türk halk edebiyatının Batı ülkelerine tanıtılmasında öncü olmuştur. İlk ve orta öğrenimini Debrecen'de yaptı. Üniversiteyi Budapeşte'de bitirdi. Öğrencilik yıllarında Macar halk diline ve kültürüne ilgi gösterdi; Hungaristik alanında çalışmalar yaptı. Daha sonra Türkçe öğrendi ve Ármin Vámbéry, Josef Budenz ve Bernát Munkácsi gibi ünlü türkologların derslerini izledi. 1885'te bir süre Bulgaristan'daki Türkler arasında yaşadıktan (1885) sonra Anadolu'da beş yıl süren bir araştırma gezisine çıktı. Bu sırada Macar Bilimler Akademisi'ne gönderdiği veriler, bilim çevrelerinde ilgiyle karşılandı. 1890'da Macaristan'a döndü. Gezi boyunca derlediği türküleri, halk masalları ve öykülerini, ayrıca Karagöz, ortaoyunu, Nasreddin Hoca ve bazı geleneklere ilişkin notlarını yayımlayarak kısa sürede Türk halkbilimi alanındaki en ünlü adlardan biri oldu. Rumeli ve Anadolu Türkleri arasındaki farklılıkları da yansıtarak tanıttığı Türk dili ve edebiyatı ürünlerinden bir bölümü, Vasili Radlof'un 10 ciltlik Proben der Volkslitteratur der türkischen Stämme (1866-1907; Türk Kavimlerinin Halk Edebiyatından Örnekler) adlı yapıtının 8. cildi (1899) içinde yayımlandı. 1925-26'da Türk hükümetinin çağrılısı olarak Ankara ve İstanbul'a gitti ve konferanslar verdi. Bernát Munkácsi ile birlikte, dönemin önde gelen Türkoloji yayınlarından Keleti Szemle dergisini yönetti. Macar Bilimler Akademisi, Uluslararası Orta ve Doğu Asya Derneği, Paris'teki Asya Derneği gibi kuruluşların da üyesiydi. Kúnos Ignác vagy Kunos Ignác, 1881-ig Lusztig Ignác (Hajdúsámson, 1860. szeptember 22. – Budapest, 1945. január 12.) nyelvész, turkológus, folklorista, a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia levelező (1893) tagja. Addig egyedülálló terjedelmű és úttörő jellegű török népköltészeti gyűjtéseinek – és legfőképp a török népmesekincs feltárásának – köszönhetően korának európai szinten legelismertebb turkológusai közé tartozott, elévülhetetlen érdeme a török népköltészeti alkotások be bevonása az európai szövegfolklorisztikai kutatásokba. Számottevő eredményeket ért el a török nyelvészet és dialektológia területén, fél évszázadon keresztül volt a budapesti tudományegyetemen a török filológia tanára.
