Talk:LEON

Fixed the fan depiction section's information flaw; as quoted in ymiyass900's upload of Leon's True to my Heart;

''"The man of that photograph appearing to this video is Girolamo Panzetta who is an Italian entertainer active in Japan. A fashion magazine for men of the title "LEON" is being published in Japan, and he is often appointed as the cover picture. Therefore ChoiWARU-P used his picture in this video. After this video, his figure will be used as a symbol of Vocaloid LEON frequently." ''

I didn't continue on it, but this was instated by ChoiWARU-P. The blonde depiction was by 愛レオンP (I'm trying to figure out if I should say that like 'AiLeon' or 'loveLeon' or 'LovingLeon'), and the headphones one is by Kirihane. Painterloid (Peintoroido) has a Leon design that is popular but not used in videos.

Then there's the Vocamoe blog run by Sakurai, which features many fanmades including three Leons, one of which is a bit on the vague side on whether or not he is a fanmade (called Leon1 and is a prototype (?) Leon from what I gathered). This is really confusing because Sakurai drew the popular blonde-blue-shirt Leon as well. If someone could provide a translation on these pages on VocaMoe, that would be awesome because I love all the characters to death. But, you know, you could just translate the much more relevant articles (Leon1, Leon2, and HoraLeo). Oh yeah there's Big Al on there too, he's pretty hot. I mean uh.

Further sort of useless info-

First Leon appearance on Piapro by SUITOU

First Leon appearance on NicoNicoDouga by ChoiWARU-P

First Leon appearance on Pixiv by Tori (or I think it's Tori, the kanji is 鳥)

I may or may not know everything there is to know about Leon's fandom history.

Some info may be jumbled as I don't know Japanese. :c (being able to identify certain kanji and hiragana certainly helped, however)

I'll go infohunting later. I'm sure there is a blog or image site I have yet to discover.
