Ira Gamagori is a pillar of strength and a very large man, But his height
seems to change vastly throughput the show.

Smaller:

Larger:

Obviously his height changes to emphasise his largeness, but is there any
official word on the height that Gamagori is meant to be? Perhaps in a
character profile or something similar?

Does Ira Gamagori have an official height?


The below height chart has been circulating around the internet:

But I don't think it's accurate, so I did some rough calculations using a
different source.

The circulated chart puts Gamagori at 2.69m or 8" 8'

[KillLaKill.com](http://www.killlakill.com/character/) have some character
profiles on their site of the different characters.

If we assume Ryuko has the average female Japanese height - 158 cm (5 ft 2
in), then we could estimate Gamagori's height by resizing the images so that
the scale of the characters is more reasonable. I used head size for this, as
the differences should be smaller than if we compared other features:

1.58m * 1.66 Ryukos = 2.6228m or 8"7'. This is quite similar to the above

There are obviously lots of flaws in this calculation. Scaling was based off
of visual inspection, Ryuko may not be the average female height, not using
the standard Nonon unit of measurement, etc. But it does give a certain range
that his height may fall in.
