And you are very much entitled to your opinion that Leo is a girl. 

I only bring up Tekken 7 to show that Harada will never be consistent with Leo's gender, even if his life depended on it. And Tekken 8 will likely continue on that path of...for lack of a better term... "trolling".

While people bicker whether or not Leo's a girl or a guy, Harada's sitting there, laughing at them all.

It's not about believe that Leo is a girl or for you to think it's a boy. And it's not about trolling either. Leo was created for 1 purpose, being love regardless of gender, that was a goal of Harada-san & his team. Well, he also left many leads to us to let us know for who Leo is. However, he won't tell. What more important, Leo didn't have a change of gender, Leo still have female customizations.

My own story that i thought that Leo was a boy cuz other guy told me & i believed him. However, i found many strange things in T6 and i change my mind after i searched many proofs.

You're absolutely correct in Leo's purpose, to be loved regardless of gender.

What I meant was, Harada's approach to keeping Leo's gender ambiguous was the equivalent of a troll. And when I say, "Change of gender", I mean Harada changes what he says about it and will never be consistent; therefore, I'm making a figurative bet that "she/her/hers" pronouns will be used in tekken 8, just as "he/him/his" pronouns were used in Tekken 7.

My point of view, in seeing Leo as a boy, is that I saw his shoulder-to-hip ratio, I didn't see any curves, the voice sounded boyish to me, I"m sure you get the idea. And after I did some digging, I saw the lack of consistency firsthand.

"shoulder-to-hip" Ya know that Leo's shoulders is just covered if you will look in T6 customization?
"

"
And after I did some digging, I saw the lack of consistency firsthand" I did it too, but diffrence between us that you want to believe that Leo is a boy. I also believed that, until i saw many things that does not look like it belongs to male at all. For example. Will male wear female haircut? Will male wear choker that can only female do? Will male wear a tiara or cat's ears accessories? No males in Tekken doing it besides Leo and any other females.

Look, we can argue about this alot, but let's agree about 1 thing, that both of us sees Leo as it is.

That is highly agreeable.

Thank you for understanding.

Ah, it's no problem! 

Something else that can possibly be agreed upon, as that Leo's quite fun to play as in Tekken.

Well, Leo is quiet good for the beginners, like Katarina for example.
