Chibi Yoko Littner "Paper Child"

Yoko Littner ヨーコ・リットナー
is the lead female character ,a young woman from the village of Littner who has considerable combat experience even before her chance meeting with Kamina and Simon. In episode 1, a Gunmen crashes through the roof of Giha village and is attacking Kamina when Yoko, who has been tracking the Gunmen, rappels down a cliff while firing her sniper rifle. Her solo attack disables the Gunmen, giving Kamina and the villagers time to seek safety. Kamina, however, chooses instead to make advances at Yoko then repeatedly insults her when she rejects those advances. Subsequently, Kamina ruins Yoko's opportunity to destroy the Gunmen when he deliberately blocks her line of fire. Although Yoko is of the same age group as Simon, she is very mature for her age and she is the most rational member of the group. In spite of Yoko's appeals to take a more leading role in combat being rejected by Kamina on the grounds that she is merely a woman, Yoko eventually becomes infatuated with him. She was also the object of Simon's naive crush until he discovered Kamina kissing her.

After the war with the Beastmen, Yoko decided not to take part in the administration of Kamina City and left to parts unknown, but not before asking Simon to take care of Nia. During the seven-year timeskip, she was a teacher at an elementary school on a small island, adopting the name Yomako. However, after learning of the events occurring at Kamina City, she left the island and broke into the Rinkane Jail to rescue Simon. After leaving the prison with Simon and Viral, she rejoins the other members of Team Dai-Gurren to aid in the war against the Anti-Spirals, piloting the Dayakkaiser.

In the epilogue, an older Yoko is seen at the same school mentioned earlier, but now working as the principal.
