Dayakka Littner

Dayakka Littner (ダヤッカ・リットナー) is the leader of Littner Village, the captain of the battleships Dai-Gurren, Arc-Gurren, and Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren, and the Minister of Food Affairs for Kamina City.

Beastmen War Arc
Dayakka is the chief of Littner Village until the continuing victories of Team Gurren spurs him and a number of others to steal Gunmen for themselves and join the war against the Beastmen. Dayakka's Gunmen is the Dayakkaiser, but he later gives it to Kiyoh when he becomes captain of the Dai-Gurren, the position he will hold until the defeat of Lordgenome.

Anti-Spiral War Arc
After the construction of Kamina City over Teppelin's remains, Dayakka accepts a government job along with other members of Team Dai-Gurren; his post is the Minister of Food Affairs. He and Kiyoh have also married and are expecting a child as the story resumes. When the child is born, however, she becomes the one millionth human and triggers the Anti-Spirals' Human Extermination System. When the reformed Team Dai-Gurren leaves for space, Dayakka resigns from his job and retakes his place at the helm of the Arc-Gurren, and later the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren, as they fight back the Anti-Spiral threat.

When the Anti-Spiral imprisons everyone in a multi-dimensional labyrinth, Dayakka is seen working in a bakery with Gimmy and Darry before all three claim their core drills and break free from the labyrinth with Simon. He combines with the remainder of the team to form Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. During the final battle against the Anti-Spiral's Grand Zamboa, Dayakka prevents it from attacking Earth by wrapping an anchor around its body and hurling it away in his I-Got-The-Best-Wife-In-The-Universe Swing.

After Anti-Spiral War
Back on Earth, Simon and Nia are wed before their friends and comrades, including Dayakka. His fate after this event is unknown.
