But Simon's meeting with Nia helps him come to a revelation about his own nature, leading to him discarding his fears and doubts as he takes over Kamina's role as Team Dai-Gurren's leader. When Kamina died during the formation of Team Dai-Gurren, Simon is thrown into a maddened and pervasive depression, driving him to be overly aggressive in combat while isolating himself among the Team. Finding Lagann during his dig, Simon joins Kamina in going to the surface where he develops a crush on Yoko before learning she has feelings for Kamina.

Simon is eventually befriended by Kamina, whose inspirational speeches start to give him enough confidence to muster his courage and take action in bouts of intense determination. Though physically underdeveloped for his age and ignored by adults and snubbed by girls, Simon is a valued digger in Giha Village. The series' protagonist, Simon ( シモン, Shimon) (pronounced as SEE-mohn) originally started off as a boy in the beginning of the story who suffered from low self-esteem due to his lack of parents (who were both killed in a cave-in) and a fear of earthquakes.

After the timeskip, most characters pass through important changes in their appearances and/or personalities, and some of them have their own unique roles in the overall story. The plot of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is divided into two main story arcs, separated by a seven-year timeskip. Most of them are people who became the first members of Kamina's Team Gurren.

This can refer to how Simon and Kamina discovered Lagann deep within the desert.This is a list of primary characters from the anime series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. 'Lagan' in English is a term for goods which have been lost to the bottom of the sea, but are recoverable.In the final charge against the Anti-Spiral race, Lagann is seen having the same spiral eyes as Kittan and Lordgenome.It is black, it has a slightly different face, and its canopy is a simple red force field, rather than the typical brain-pattern canopy. Lordgenome possesses a different type of Lagann, which acts as the head of the Lazengann.

After the Anti-Spiral universe is destroyed and all of the Spiral Power maintaining the Tengen Toppa mecha vanishes, the pilots are still inside their Lagann cockpits. These Laganns are then used as the cockpits of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann as well as the other Tengen Toppa Gunmen.

In both the TV series and the second movie, the crew of Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren find numerous Laganns deep within the Galactic Spiral Abyss.If it is not actually sentient, it is theorized that the spirit of Kamina was the one that possesses Lagann for a brief amount of time.Simon himself is surprised by this and yells out 'Lagann!?' afterwards meaning he didn't tell it to do so.

In the second movie it is implied that Lagann has its own sentience, when after the Anti-Spiral demolishes it it grabs Simon and throws him.Like Lagann's other powers, this is tied to the pilot's willpower. The prime example is drilling into Gurren to make Gurren Lagann, but it does work on other machines such as Dai-Gunzan. Gunman Fusionism: Lagann has the power to assimilate/take over other Gunmen that it drills into.Lagann Impact: Lagann impacts the opponent with its drills which is usually incorporated with its signature assimilating abilities.However, after Lordgenome's betrayal he seemingly destroyed all of them except for the one that was placed deep underground until Simon finds it. In Gurren Lagann Parallel Works episode 8, it's revealed that the first Laganns were found by Lordgenome as a child during the Anti-Spirals' initial assault on Earth long before the series' story begins and as such were used as a basis in the creation of all Gunmen that appear in the show to use against their enemies. It received its name, Lagann (羅顔), meaning 'enveloping face', from Kamina and draws power from the Core Drill, a small golden drill Simon uses similar to an ignition key. Lagann is a Gunman found by Simon in the first episode while digging tunnels in his village.
