More about Leon S. Kennedy
Leon Scott Kennedy debuted in 1998 in Capcom's Resident Evil 2 (Biohazard in Japan), alongside Claire Redfield as one of two playable characters. He arrives in Raccoon City as a newly hired police officer, after the zombie outbreak has already begun.
Hideki Kamiya, the game's creative director, deliberately did not want another tough guy, but a character with weaknesses. The name goes back to the 1994 film Léon: The Professional. In Resident Evil 4 (2005), Leon received a much harder look, which many fans still associate with him today.
The range includes ARTFX statues by Kotobukiya, among them the Renewal Edition and a version from the film Resident Evil: Vendetta, as well as a Nendoroid by Good Smile Company.
