History

Ultraman Leo

The origins of the Leo Ring are unknown but it is known that it was with Gen/Leo when he first arrived on Earth. Since then he used it whenever he needed to transform into his true form.

After the Black Directive and Black End were defeated and peace was restored to Earth, Gen decided to travel the planet he now considered his home in human form, and symbolically removed the Leo Ring from his finger. ^{The Terrifying Saucer Creature Series! - Farewell, Leo! Setting Off for the Sun}

Ultraman Mebius

Gen evidently did not discard the ring, as he was wearing it when he returned to Earth to help Ultraman Mebius, using it to transform once again. ^{The Man Who Lost His Hometown}

Ultraman Saga

In the deleted scenes, Gen used the Leo Ring to transform into Leo. ^{Ultraman Saga}

Transformation

Gen waves his hands and performs a punching motion with his ring fist, holding the arm with his free arm. He then shouts 'Leo' and a bright light is emitted from the eyes from the lion image on the ring transforming him. Sometimes, Gen can also transform by placing his hands in the air similar to Hideki Go and shouts "Leo" before transforming. Other times Gen has transformed without saying a word but the word "Leo" could still be heard, implying he was saying it in his mind or it was there to be cinematic.
