List of Gurren Lagann Characters - Leeron Littner

Voiced by: Masaya Onosaka (Japanese), Steven Blum (English)

Leeron Littner (リーロン・リットナー, Rīron Rittonā?), nicknamed "Ron", is the village mechanic of Littner, who is able to repair and scavenge the various Gunmen he and his group encounter. Quite knowledgeable, rather flamboyant, and unashamedly homosexual, Leeron was the first one to join Kamina, Simon, and Yoko on their quest to defeat the Beastmen. He has become the main technician for Team Dai-Gurren, as well as being in charge of coordination and communication between the Gunmen during battle from Dai-Gurren. His ability to learn and adapt is incredibly great, seeing as he once mentioned that he didn't even know how to read before becoming a mechanic.

In part 1, upon first meeting Kamina and Simon, Leeron acts extremely flirticious around the two newcomers, using a rather graphic array of phrases when around them (he even confided to Yoko that he hoped Simon and Kamina changed their sexual orientation). Kamina reacts to Leeron with threats, drawing his nodachi and cursing him. Simon for the most part doesn't mind, but still regarded him with concern. Later in the series, Leeron pulls off of his attempts to proposition the boys, resulting in a more cordial relationship, and many times Simon praises Leeron for his work.

At several points in part 3, Leeron makes flirtatious advances of a kind on both Gimmy and Viral, resulting in both of them leaping out of his immediate vicinity. This happens 3 times in the case of Gimmy and once with Viral. It is interesting to note that Viral reacted the same way Kamina did, drawing his cleaver and cursing him. It is speculated that it was "breaking" Viral in, that he had become the character that had once been his biggest rival, Kamina.

After the war, Leeron became the Chief of the Science Bureau of Kamina City, and his team even succeeded in launching a rocket to the moon in order to investigate it and confirm the veracity of Lordgenome's ominous prophecy.

He bears a strong resemblance to Levin from Tekkaman Blade, in that both are gifted mechanics and cross dressers. He also quotes him, "Much like how I could be a man or a woman."

Throughout the series, Leeron never seemed to age (except for a brief appearance in the epilogue, where his normally green hair appears to be somewhat greyer).
