Description
Leo Saionji, a pink-haired, pink-eyed young man with delicate features and a petite, feminine frame standing at 158 cm, was born on April 4 into a gender-neutral household. His parents, mascot designers passionate about cute aesthetics, encouraged him to wear feminine attire and engage in dress-up with his older sisters, Kirari and Yurari. Sheltered from conventional gender roles, he faced harsh bullying in elementary school for his femininity, leading to social withdrawal. Guilt-ridden, his sisters supported his enrollment at Edel Rose Academy, where he pursued a Prism Star career while attempting to cultivate a masculine persona.
Initially timid and awkward, Leo idolized kabuki actor Yukinojo Tachibana, whose blend of traditional masculinity and grace became a guiding ideal. His forced efforts to appear “manly” often misfired, exposing his struggle between societal pressures and innate preferences. Through experiences chronicled in later media, including *Shiny Seven Stars*, he gradually shed these constraints, reclaiming confidence in his identity and harmonizing his love for cute aesthetics with genuine self-expression.
Loyal yet prone to envy, Leo harbored nervous jealousy toward Shin Ichijo, especially when figures like Louis Kisaragi or female peers showed Shin attention. His devotion to friends shone through his role as Edel Rose’s lead costume designer, crafting outfits that balanced individuality and unity. A skilled confectioner, he admired Prism Star Otoha Takanashi, eventually covering her song "ALIVE" in a duet.
As part of the unit Septentrion, Leo performed in Prism Shows featuring songs like "Twinkle☆Twinkle" and "Peach-colored MAX Jump!" His Prism Jumps—"Metamorphosis of Love and Mystery" and "Lion Heart Flower"—mirrored his journey toward self-acceptance. The name "Leo," Latin for "lion," echoed his parents’ hope for inner strength, a quality he forged through resilience and embracing authenticity.
Raised in Sapporo, his family’s creative influence shaped his talents in design and performance. Across films and series, his narrative traced a path from insecurity to unapologetic self-assurance, rejecting rigid gender norms to find power in his unique identity.
