Leona (Japanese: ユモミ Yumomi) is the character of the day of the anime that appeared in Hot Springing a Leak!. Her Japanese voice actress is 渡辺明乃 Akeno Watanabe, and her English voice actress is Evelyn Lanto.

She is Dawn's childhood friend. Like Kenny, she also sometimes calls Dawn Dee Dee (Japanese: ピカリ Pikari). She lives near a hot spring and takes care of three Swinub with her mother and father.

In Hot Springing a Leak!, she had the water from her hot spring stolen by someone. She later found out that it had been Team Rocket siphoning the water from her hot spring's main pipe. They were planning to use her hot spring water to start their own. Later, she and Dawn defeated Team Rocket and returned the water to her own hot spring.

Leona had beaten a bully together with Dawn when they were still very young.

When she parted ways from Dawn, Ash, and Brock, she told them that she would go and battle in Sinnoh's Gyms. It is unknown if she yet has any badges.

Trivia

• Leona has a similar character design to that of Kenny, having similar hairstyles, clothes, and also being Dawn's childhood friend. Both also call Dawn "Dee Dee" sometimes.
• Dawn captured a Swinub of her own, possibly a reference to Leona having three of her own.
