So a brief history on Leo. The character was introduced in Tekken 6 back in '07 and there was much debate at the time as to whether Leo was a boy or a girl. Namco said they left Leo's gender intentionally ambiguous so that players who identified with the character could make up their own mind.
However, with Tekken Tag 2 it seemed like Namco decided to officially make Leo female, giving her the birth name "Eleonore Kliesen". Customization options in the game appeared to confirm this.
But now with Tekken 7 right around the corner, the newly released character bio on the game's official site is using male pronouns to refer to Leo.

Personally, I love Leo's design. I've always thought of the character as a male, but it doesn't matter to me either way. What do you guys think Namco is doing here? Should they have just left the character's gender undefined?

Leo entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament in the hope of uncovering more about his deceased mother, who had been a researcher for the Mishima Zaibatsu. When Leo learned that his battle arena was to be a Zaibatsu-owned dojo, he couldn't believe his luck.
