Digimon Adventure
Leomon was one of the first good Digimon that the DigiDestined kids met on File Island - but not under better conditions. Leomon was infected with a Black Gear by Devimon, having Leomon attack the DigiDestined aginst his will. He was briefty freed from Devimon's control to save Taichi & Agumon, by fighting Devimon. But he was soon infected with another Black Gear and was under Devimon's control once more. He was finally freed by the children & aided them in the final battle with Devimon & the building of a raft the kids needed to get to the continent of Server.

While the DigiDestined tried to save they world from Myotismon, the Dark Masters took over the DigitalWorld. Leomon was among those who tried to fight back. But as it turned out, Leomon's exposure to the Digivices' light gave him the power to warp-digivolve to SaberLeomon. He came to the aid of Jou & Mimi when MetalEtemon was after them. During the battle, he was struck down by MetalEtemon's Dark Spirits DX, though he managed to use the last of his strentgh to destory MetalEtemon. As he died, Leomon made his peace with his arch-nemeis Ogremon, & now awaits to be reborn at Primary Village.

Digimon Tamers
Leomon is the Digimon partner of Juri Katou. Before Bio-Emerging to the real world, Leomon only knew of endless conflict. At first he was bit frighten by Juri's glomping & instence that he's her partner. But he grew to care for her, becoming Juri's partner for real after his near-death experience with Zhuqiaomon.

Dispite Juri's doubts of being worthy enough to be his Tamer, Leomon had much confidence in her. But things went downhill during the fierce battle with Beelzemon, as Leomon seized his arm to stop him from killing Kyubimon. Leomon informed the ranting Beelzemon that to simply have power did not make him strong – but Beelzemon retaliated by impaling Leomon through the chest with his claws. Leomon died & Beelzemon absorbed his data, with the aftermath being Juri's depression that made her a idea subject for D-Reaper's resesrch. But Juri eventually overcame her saddess & remembering Leomon's words gave her the confidence to stand up to D-Reaper.

Digimon Frontier
Although an actual Leomon does not appear in this series, the dubbed version renames a Panyjamon (an ice-based recolour of Leomon) which briefly appears "IceLeomon," and when it is destroyed by Takuya, the trend of a Leomon dying is upheld.

Digimon X-Evolution
Leomon was a Digimon who fought DORUmon in the 'old' Digital World. Explaining that he's beyond the help of the X-Antibody, Leomon requests Dorumon to live in his place, in the 'new' Digital World Yggdrasil created, for the sake of their kind's future. Then he dies, saying how sorry he is for DORUmon to be alone.
