Leon is Reborn's shapeshifting animal partner. By shapeshifting into a green gun, he becomes Reborn's main weapon in the Katekyō Hitman Reborn! anime adaptation. Though he is not always used by Reborn for battles, Leon was able to defend against the attacks made by Tsuna and his Guardians and even deal serious damage during Reborn's trial. Leon has been shown to be able to spin threads that are resistant to Dying Will Flames. These threads were used before the Sky Ring Battle to make clothes for Tsuna that looked like his school uniform. Before the Choice battle with the Millefiore's Six Funeral Wreaths, the threads were used to make Flame resistant black suits for all of the 10th generation Vongola Guardians.
Leon also goes through a metamorphosis every time Reborn's student will go through a life-or-death battle. In the beginning, Leon's tail falls off, and he becomes unable to control his shapeshifting. At some point, he then spins himself into a cocoon. After that, Leon creates an item or items for Reborn's student. For Dino, Leon created Enzio and a bullwhip. For Tsuna, he created the Criticism Shot and X-Gloves.
