Character Profile: Yoko Littner

Yoko comes from the village of Littner and she is a very capable markswoman. She carries around an enormous gun and has considerable fighting skills. In the first episode, as Simon and Kamina are fighting off the enemy gunman that fell through the roof of Jeeha Village, Yoko appears falling from the sky as well and joins in the fight, helping to take down the enemy. It was there that Yoko met with Simon and Kamina and joined them as they set out to battle the beastmen who persecuted humanity.

Yoko can be described as an aggressive, spunky girl with a kind heart. She's capable and strong, as well as good-spirited. Several characters are instantly attracted to her, considering that she has a perfect figure. In the beginning, Yoko falls in love with Kamina, but in the end, fate has the odds against her.

Yoko and Kamina had their differences, to say the least, but eventually she began to have feelings for him (much to Simon's dismay). After Kamina died, Yoko, like the rest of Team Dai-Gurren, was quite devastated. When Nia came along Yoko began to feel rather jealous of her but eventually got over that (which was around the time Simon's courage and confidence were renewed).

Yoko makes her debut in Episode 1 of Gurren Lagann all the way through the end. Seven years after the war against the beastmen, Yoko became a teacher at a small island where she was known to her students as "Miss Yomako". When the Anti-spirals began to attack, Yoko rejoined Simon and the rest of Team Dai-Gurren to save humanity from this new threat.

Yoko is a young girl from an underground village neighboring Jihaa called Ritona. She has had some considerable combat experience prior to the series as she and the other villagers have been living above ground ever since Ritona was destroyed by Gunmen. She is quite the sharpshooter and is nearly always seen with her rifle.

She meets Simon and Kamina when she follows a Gunman she had been attacking into the now collapsed village of Jeeha. At first, Yoko is frustrated with Kamina but later in the series she becomes infatuated with him. She thinks Simon is just a wimpy kid, treating him like a child despite being the same age as him. But she eventually comes to accept him as a great leader just as Kamina believed he would.
