Leo Ieiri (家入レオ, Ieiri Reo, born 13 December 1994 in Fukuoka Prefecture) is a Japanese singer and songwriter. Her song "Sabrina" was used as the third ending song of the anime television series Toriko and her song "Silly" was used as the theme song for the television adaption of popular novel "Nのために" ("For N").

Biography

Ieiri was born in Kurume and grew up in Fukuoka. She wanted to be a singer at the age of 13 and came to study under Ongaku-juku Voice (音楽塾ヴォイス, the Music School Voice) presided over by record producer Yoshihiko Nishio.[ citation needed] Her stage name comes from the movie Léon: The Professional, and also comes from Leo of Kimba the White Lion because her eyes resemble a lion. [1]

In the spring of 2011, she left home and went to Tokyo alone, leaving her parents. [1] She continued doing musical activities while going to the high school in Tokyo and made her debut on 15 February 2012.

On 18 February 2014, a music video for the song "A Boy", which has an animated part made by Tezuka Productions, [2] features an anime version of the singer (based on Kimba and modeled after the singer) which meets other characters from the Kimba the White Lion series.
