First Appearance: KINGDOM HEARTS (2002) Origin: FINAL FANTASY VIII (1999)
Sora first met Leon during his first journey in the real Traverse Town, where he found a cold, untrusting young man. Forced from his home world by the Heartless, Leon abandoned his true name and was all but desperate in his struggles, until he met Sora and learned that hope is never truly lost.
As one of Sora's closest allies, Leon appears before him in the Traverse Town of Sora's Memories yet seems to not be able to recall him at first. The longer he stays around Sora, however, the more Leon remembers of the boy, yet it is only because Sora is remembering their friendship for him. Leon is nothing more than a figment of Sora's Memories, brought to life thanks to Castle Oblivion's unique qualities.
