It's actually quite simple!
Leon's Japanese name was written
with the characters "ri" & "o" &
"n"
"Rion"
"Ri" can also be
translated as "Li"
"Lion"
In English, it's the word
"lion"
even though the romanji is pronounced "Leon"
Lots of early Tales of Destiny
sites that were written after the Japanese game release called Leon "Lion"
Hence, I chose to call this site "Shrine to the Black Lion"
Make Sense?
