Leonardo Watch (Japanese: レオナルド・ウォッチ, Hepburn: Reonarudo Wotchi) is a fictional character from Yasuhiro Nightow's manga and anime series Blood Blockade Battlefront. Leonardo is a kind and humble young photographer who came to alien Hellsalem's Lot to help his ailing sister. An unknown entity gave him the "All Seeing Eyes of the Gods" (神々の義眼, Kamigami no Gigan), granting him a variety of powerful ocular powers, at the cost of his sister's sight. In order to provide for his sister, Leonardo finds a new job as member of the Libra Organization who are to clear the streets of trouble and prevent the horrors of this city from spreading to the outside world. He is voiced by Ryōta Ōsaka in the vcomic, Daisuke Sakaguchi in the anime series and Aaron Dismuke in the English dub.
Nightow created Leonardo with the idea of him being a normal observant of a clash between supernatural heroes, with Marvel Comics Spider-Man's civilian side being a major basis. Leonardo has earned mixed responses in regards to his characterization by publications for manga, anime and other media for his constant need of help and weakness in general when compared to the members from Libra. Nevertheless, his relationship with White and Black during the climax of the first anime as well his how his relationship with them is portrayed earned positive response.
