What is the Kanji for leisure if you were using it on its own?

暇 is like free time, if you're looking for a single character.

What about 楽?

暇 or 余暇（よか）。娯楽（ごらく）は英語の「 recreation 」ってとこですね。

趣味, shumi, will do.
"shumi" in Japanese includes more meanings than "hobby" in English.

Like "taste in/for", "sexual proclivity" and what else....?

hobby is what you do in your leisure time, it does not mean leisure time itself...
