![]() According to a public talk by one of the game producers, Leo is “a female, actually.” Other sites repeatedly quote Namco representatives as saying Leo’s gender was intentionally ambiguous because they wanted “a character players will love regardless of gender” (this is repeated here, here, here, here, and here, but we have not found the original source of this quote). Another site, however, still refers to Leo as male (linked on this forum, which also includes a lengthy 2009 debate over Leo’s gender). However, in the subsequent game Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Leo is referred to with female pronouns in the character’s ending description ( copied here). The character also wears what is often interpreted as gender-neutral clothing. When first introduced, Leo is only referred to in gender-neutral terms, as can be seen in the character’s prologue text available here. Leo, also know as Eleonor Kliesen, is a German character who first appears in Tekken 6.
