Leo was originally educated as an archaeologist but transitioned into acting, developing his craft through Fringe theatre in Japan. He has performed in numerous plays and short films and has also worked as a featured model in the fashion industry.

After moving to the UK, he collaborated with various theatre companies, including Station House Opera, and appeared in films, television shows, and commercials. Despite his work on screen, Leo has maintained a deep passion for the stage. He took part in a Greek Tragedy trilogy at Theatro Technis, as well as a Japanese–UK theatre co-production at Charing Cross Theatre.

Leo met the late Eiji Kusuhara (楠原映二) through his solo performance work. Eiji became a mentor and source of inspiration, helping Leo further develop his solo pieces over the years.

Eventually, Leo co-founded a London-based theatre and performance collective, The Washing Machine, with fellow artists.

In addition to performing, Leo also writes, directs, and produces films. His directorial debut short film, The Town with the Tower, was selected for several international film festivals.

Leo is based in London and represented by Julianna Bautista and Femi Oguns, Identity Agency Group (IAG)
