Kamina would eventually sacrifice his life for Simon's sake.

Kamina is the self-proclaimed big brother (Aniki) of Simon. His dream is to return to the surface that his father had shown him, and he is vocal about it. When a gunmen finally breaks through the roof of his underground home, he takes up the opportunity to both show his bravado and go back to the surface. His determination to surpass the impossible earns him the respect of both new friends and some new enemies, and he quickly becomes a newfound hope of defeating the much-feared gunmen. Unfortunately, some unfortunate events keep Kamina from fully experiencing the progress Simon and the Dai Gurren Brigade have made.
