Personality

Leonardo, like most fighters, is very confident in his fighting prowess. While he mostly has a relaxed expression, Leonardo can be very hot headed when push comes to shove.

Power & Abilities

Leonardo specializes in simple, but proficient ground grappling. During the Berserker Bowl Leonardo displayed impressive submission skills when he was able to very quickly overwhelm his first opponent Alberto Himura, a fellow BJJ practitioner in just four minutes. In his second match he demonstrated his ability to negate his opponents striking when he caught the notoriously agile Hong Xiao-Hu and choked him into unconsciousness.

As described by Yamashita Kazuo, Leonardo is hardly ever aggressive and uses an extra-defense style, where his extraordinary striking talent is specialized in parrying. Leonardo also showed his resilience when he was able to withstand multiple strikes from Koga.

The Devil's Sleeper

Leonardo does a simple but very tight sleeper hold on an opponent. He has stated that this hold can knock out anyone, no matter how strong they are and that it's a one hundred percent pure killing move. This choke almost managed to knock out Narushima Koga.

Trivia

• Leonardo's family appears to be based on the Gracie family, which is a bit redundant considering the Kure Clan are also based on the Gracies. Incidentally, the Silva family are also distant relatives of the Kure Clan anyway.
