Yoko Littner

Voiced by: Marina Inoue (Japanese), Michelle Ruff (English)

Yoko Littner (ヨーコ・リットナー, Yōko Rittonā) is a girl from Jeeha's neighboring village of Littner who had been chasing the Gunmen that crashed into Jeeha village during the events of episode 1. She wields an extensive range of firearms, most frequently of which is a long range sniper rifle modeled after the Barrett M82. Although she is of the same age group as Simon, she is very mature for her age and she is one of the most rational members of the group. Despite initially always badmouthing Kamina for his reckless behavior, it did not take long for her to confess her feelings to him. She was also Simon's love interest until he discovered that she was in love with Kamina.

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 worked as 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 aged Yoko is seen at the same school at which she previously taught, now working as the principal.

As Yomako, she drives a yellow, hovering scooter, most likely a homage to Haruko from Gainax's FLCL. Her name and appearance are a reference to Yomiko Readman, the main character of Read or Die, who also worked as a teacher.
