Kamina

thumb|left At first glance, Kamina is boisterous, hotheaded and arrogant. He demands recognition and seems hungry for greatness, illustrated in his tendency to call himself "the Mighty Kamina" and his signature catchphrase, "Just who the Hell do you think I am?!" He is an undeterred idealist, often to the point of ignorance; Yoko has described him as "a man of unlimited stupidity." Kamina is also very perverted, declaring that the urge to stare at beautiful women is the definition of a man. However, Kamina is also extremely determined and never lets anything keep him down for long. Even discovering that his father was dead only made him solemn for a night or two (visibly at least). He is also devoted to defending and supporting his friends and loved ones, fighting with all his strength to protect them. In turn, he is very charismatic in the heat of battle, able to inspire even the timid Simon to accomplish great feats and almost single-handedly set the foundations for Team Dai-Gurren. Despite his often brazen and practically insane actions, Kamina is fairly insightful, as his bombast and seemingly blind confidence usually mask his true intelligence in planning and combat. He even personally admits that his bravado and fearlessness is mostly a device he uses to hide his own worries and to support others, and that he thinks people like Simon are the real heroes. He has stated that his drive in the war against the Beastmen was not started for personal glory or vengeance, but a desire to give future generations a world without fear. Despite his often moronic actions, he does have some level of common sense, pointing out that fleeing from Dai-Gunzan would leave them wide open to attack. All this confirms that Kamina has a much more complicated personality than his usual behavior would insinuate.

He has short, blue, spiky hair and is frequently seen wearing his trademark red sunglasses with pointed ends that cover his red eyes. His skin is tan, and he has blue-ish tattoos along both of his arms which extend to his shoulders and his upper back. As he holds his sword with him, his symbol of rebellion.

Spiral Power: As a Spiral Being, he is capable of evolving with the use of Spiral Power, becoming more capable as he retains his willpower or "fighting spirit". In the manga, Kamina towards the end of his life, he had gained Spiral Eyes, alluding to him fully awakening his Spiral Power, and so he should be just as capable without the use of Gunmen as well; additionally having every capability of every Gunmen he piloted, has shown, similar to Lordgenome and Simon. * Gunmen Piloting: Gunmen were created by the Spiral King, Lordgenome, for Spiral Warriors to pilot, using their Spiral Power to power and control mecha. Additionally, the condition of the Gunmen is reflected upon the pilots; ie, the pilots feel the pain and retain the injuries. Spiral Power doesn't just power the Gunmen, it also assists the mecha in producing abilities for the user to adapt to certain situations in battle. Superhuman Strength: Immediately after his introduction, Kamina presumably broke the lock holding the Pigmole. After he was held for breaking the Pigmole out, he easily ripped the rope that held his hands together. In the movie version, Kamina broke off steel cuffs, rather than the ropes. He handled himself well with Viral in a sword fight, being able to handle direct cuts from his blade; Viral himself is a powerful Beastman who could kick large Beastmen through concrete walls. In episode 8, Kamina's punch managed to knock and flip over Simon in his seat. Superhuman Speed: In episode 3, right before Kamina meets Viral, he dodges a point blank arrow. After that, he dodged Viral's cleaver at the last moment. In episode 6, Kamina could briefly run away from Itamirūpu (the Bath House Gunmen). which is a bigger mech than Gurren Lagann. Supernatural Willpower: When Kamina attempted to take over Gunzar in episode 2, he was unable to get control of it. Regardless of his circumstance, he refused to be rejected by the Gunmen, and with his will to move forward, he managed to override its systems to allow him to take control. In the battle for Dai-Gunzan, Kamina had taken a blow to his upper body, around the heart region, by Thymilph. Despite this, he got back up to continue the fight when he heard that his team needed him. Extrasensory Perception: The novelization revealed that Kamina was able to dodge Viral's cleaver at the last second, because he sensed Viral's killing intent. Presumably Air Slashes: Kamina with his Nodachi was capable of cutting through a large swath of grass, even beyond the swords length. Logically, this could be due to the slashes of wind Kamina created with the swing.
