Ishimaru x Kuwata, most known as Ishileon and/or Kuwaishi, is a rarepair within Dangan Ronpa fandom. The ship is between Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Leon Kuwata, both semi-prominent characters. It has been shipped since Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc was released in 2010.
One of their ship names in Japanese, 野球風紀 (YakyuuFuuki), comes from both characters' talents. Kuwata is a baseball player, written as 野球選手, and Ishimaru is a member of the Public Morals Committee, a common high school club in Japan, written as 風紀委員. When together, they form YakyuuFuuki.
It shipped more often in English-speaking DR fandom than Japanese-speaking DR fandom.
