The main characters of "Gurren Lagann"

So, we already found out that in the center of the series are two boys - Simon and Kamina, and later a girl sniper Yoko joins them. They are followed by two equally important heroes - Rosiu Adai and Nia Teppelin. The rest of the characters play supporting roles, and, like in many Japanese anime series, there are a lot of them. Therefore, now we will examine in detail only the most important ones and give them a clear description.

Simon

This hero is the most important in Gurren Lagann. Simon is a calm and balanced character, but at the same time extremely outcast and courageous. At the beginning of the series, he is engaged in drilling, as he finds this process soothing.

Later, he agrees with Kamina - a guy who is somewhat older than him. They both find mechanical devices, which, in the future, combine into a single machine called Gurren-Lagann, which resists the beastmen that inhabit the Earth.

After his friend and mentor dies, Simon keeps his memory for all his subsequent years. Despite the fact that his life either lifts him to the throne of a new state, formed on the surface, then to prison, he remains the same humble and fair boy he was in his native village.

Oh, this is an eternal fighter against the system, an eternal activist and a constantly positive guy. He never put up with circumstances and preferred that they adapt to him, and not vice versa. So, having made friends with Simon, he created Camina Gurren-Lagann, an assistant robot, thanks to which many people were able to get to the ground.

Together with his younger friend, Kamina founded a city on Earth, but, unfortunately, could not live in it for long, as he died in one of the battles with beasts. This young man was a concentration of positive, eloquence and smartness, which always inspired everyone around him. The girls liked him, was a good companion for the guys and served as a reliable support for the older generation.

Yoko

A sniper girl with a fantastic figure and elusive charm, and all this despite the fact that she is the owner of the male profession. Yoko works as a sniper, destroying cars created by beastmen, and is fighting for the rights of the underground population. Acquainted with the main characters, she gives her heart to Kamina, although Simon initially falls in love with her.

After the death of his beloved, Yoko reunites with Kitan, who also fights against the Spiral King - the main antagonist of the series. Her second love also dies in one of the fights, and the girl goes to one of the villages to work as a teacher in order to heal the wounds from her losses.

Rosiu Adai

An orphan boy who has long been a slave to the terrible fictitious religion of his village. The unknown god had to constantly sacrifice people, and this soon caused the guy a lot of doubts.

Niya Teppelin

Some characters of Gurren-Lagann are very contradictory and strange personalities. Among them, the main one is Nia - the daughter of the Spiral King. The tyrannical ruler created children just for fun, and only one of his daughter became interested in the meaning of her existence. Father disowned her, and so Nia found herself in the city of Simon.
