Kuwata x Maizono, most known as Leosaya and/or Kuwamai, is a popular pairing within Dangan Ronpa fandom. The ship is between Leon Kuwata and Sayaka Maizono, both semi-prominent characters. It has been shipped since Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc was released in 2010.

Kuwata canonically has a crush on Maizono. This is a Murderer x Victim ship, since Kuwata murdered Maizono, a trope specific to Danganronpa fandom.
