Leif's name in Japanese kanji

Here's Leif's name, as registered here in Japan. The family name, Mino are the first two (mi + no), which mean "beautiful field". Leif, spelt "riifu" in romanised Japanese, doesn't really have a combined meaning of the two kanji. However the first one "rii" means "advantage" or "benefit", while the second one "fu" means "walk."

Congratulations!

So has Conan met his baby brother yet?

Yes, Leif and Junko came home last Thursday, but Conan met Leif several times at the hospital earlier in the week.
