Chileon

Chileon is the slash ship between Leon Kuwata and Chihiro Fujisaki from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
The two do not interact during the killing game, due to both their early deaths in the game, with Leon being executed in Chapter 1 for Sayaka Maizono's murder, and Chihiro being murdered by Mondo Owada during Chapter 2.

Before Chihiro's death in Chapter 2, he stated he felt extremely guilty for voting Leon to be executed, blaming himself for his death. Aoi Asahina denied his claim, telling him that it wasn't his fault that Leon died, and that it was good that Sayaka received justice with him getting executed for what he did. It is later revealed in Chapter 3 that the two appeared to be close friends in the past, due to Makoto Naegi finding a picture of the two, along with Mondo, hugging one another and smiling.

Chihiro has also been shown to have looked up to Leon at some point, as in the Danganronpa 1.2 Reload Artbook, Chihiro positively mentions his high confidence and ambition.

When the announcement about the meeting in the gymnasium happened and they were gonna go to the gymnasium, Leon was leaving to go there then Chihiro said that he wanted to go with him.

The two do not have interactions with one another in the bonus mode, Ultimate Talent Development Plan in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. However some fans hope that they will have interactions in the new Danganronpa game.

Fanon
The ship is not very well known among fans. Mainly due to both having no interactions, and their early deaths. This ship is overshadowed by both characters more popular ships with Sayaka and Mondo. Although, there is a small portion of fans who enjoy the pair. The ship is further fueled by the fact the two appeared close with one another. The two are often paired alongside Kiyotaka and Mondo, so some people ship this as a way to pair off the four.

Their contrasting personalities also helped further fuel the ship, as fans believe Leon's outgoing personality could help Chihiro be more confident about his gender and personality. Fans of the ship also believe that Leon could help Chihiro with 'training to become a man' instead of Mondo, under the circumstance he is busy. Leon does have some type of 'physical form' and could likely help Chihiro become stronger. The ship, despite not being well known by the fandom, has over 66 fan fictions on AO3, which is a lot for a small ship. The fan fictions which feature Chileon as the main pairing, are often fluff; Leon helping Chihiro with his lack of confidence and helping him stand up to his bullies. Though, most fan fictions with the tag mostly have the two as a side pairing while ships like Ishimondo are the main pairing.
