<P> Gurren Lagann takes place in a future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King , Lordgenome , who forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages . These villages have no contact with the surface world or other villages and are under constant threat of earthquakes . Selected villagers called diggers are conscripted to expand their homes deeper underground . Simon , a meek young digger ostracized by his peers , finds solace in his best friend and older brother figure , an eccentric delinquent named Kamina . Kamina encourages Simon to join his gang , Team Gurren , to help him achieve his dream of visiting the surface world . One day , Simon unearths a drill - shaped key called a Core Drill , followed by a small mecha resembling a face called a Gunmen . Shortly thereafter , a huge Gunmen crashes through the ceiling and begins attacking the village , followed by a girl named Yoko , who attempts to repel the Gunmen . Simon uses his Core Drill to activate the smaller Gunmen ( which Kamina names Lagann ) , and it is used to destroy the larger Gunmen and break through to the surface world . </P>
