From Kamina onto Yoko Littner!
It’s time for Gurren Lagann to make an appearance at SHJ.
Last week we had a couple more Seven Deadly Sins characters and Naruto characters (allowing us to get our Top Ten Naruto Character Listicle) but before that we were introducing more Anime characters from shows like Black Clover, Blue Exorcist, Kakegurui and more!
And now Gurren Lagann in the newest Anime show being added to the ever-growing many within our Anime Workout Database!
Anime is quickly becoming more popular than our superhero characters just for the sheer fact that there are just so many different universes that are so popular, and growing in popularity as Netflix and Hulu picks up more and more.
Yoko Littner Stats:
Real Name: Yoko Littner
Height: 5’1
Weight: 101 lbs.
Anime: Gurren Lagann
Powers: No
Yoko Littner is actually shorter than I expected compared to anime females we see.
But that shouldn’t be too surprising considering she’s only about 14 years old.
Supergirl and Erza Scarlet were our shortest at 5’5 before Wasp came in at 5’4 and Kale, Anna and Nina Williams matching her there. BUT, now we have Caulifla at 4’8 and Sailor Moon at 4’11! Katana is just behind her at 5’2.
We had Wonder Woman come in standing 6’0 tall, Mockingbird and Hawkgirl at 5’9, Mystique, Miss Martian, and Sonya Blade at 5’10, and Storm 5’11.
But the average height for female celebrities on the site is generally more-so ranging from 5’4-5’6 – and our Black Widow is just above that at 5’7 with Spider-Gwen, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy at 5’8.
And, the tallest we’d seen before She-Hulk was Starfire at 6’4!
But don’t worry, either way.
Not only are these routines for all shapes and sizes – they also work for both men and women – regardless of the gender of the hero.

Yoko Littner Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Yoko Littner Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
For those of you who don’t know a ton about Yoko’s character, don’t worry, I’m going to start us off with a nice bio from her Wiki Fandom:
Yoko Littner is the primary female protagonist of the series. She is a fourteen year old girl from Jeeha’s neighboring village of Littner who had been chasing the Gunmen that crashed into Jeeha Village during the events of Episode 1. She wields an extensive range of firearms, most frequently use of which is a long range sniper rifle modeled after the Barrett M82.
As far as her powers and abilities, they’re even further off being helpful than Kamina’s (who we saw in our last article).
This is what her Wiki lists for us:
- Skilled Marksman: Yoko is a skilled shot with her rifle and has shown to be able to take out two Gunmen alone and without being injured. She is also shown to be able to hit weak spots on Gunmen even in the middle of a fight. One of greatest examples of her marksmanship is during her battle with Viral when she piloted Gurren Lagann with Simon. She was able to nearly hit Viral, despite being in the air and moving around, missing him by a hair.
- Skilled Gunmen Pilot: Like most members of Team Dai-Gurren, Yoko is skilled in piloting a Gunmen. She piloted Gurren-Lagann with Simon once and piloted the Dayakkaiser in the second half and she, along with Kittan Bachika, Gimmy Adai and Darry Adai, took out many Anti-Spiral ships alone.
- Armory: Yoko maintains a light variety of firearms that she currently stores for use in emergency situations. Among them is her trademark rifle.
Yoko is a sniper!
So while she is a badass in Gurren Lagann, her actual skills don’t really help us build out a routine.
For that reason we’ll be building it around her overall aesthetic and the fact that she is extremely lean and mobile in the show.
Here’s how her Wiki Fandom describes her overall aesthetic:
Yoko is known primarily for her has thigh-length red hair that she commonly ties in a ponytail with bangs hanging on the right side, large amber eyes, a voluptuous yet slender frame and very large but only partially covered breasts that were present even from a young age. Even seven years after the fall of Tepplin, Yoko’s physical features fully develop and the young, more roundish facial structure she maintained as a young teenager mature into that of a woman’s. In addition to more defined, mature facial features and a sharper jawline, the rest of her body follows suit with her frame becoming more slender, her curves becoming more defined, and her breasts becoming even larger, making for an even more bodacious look than before.
Aside from the obvious emphasis her Wiki Fandom puts on her breasts, they also make specific note to her “voluptuous slender frame”.
That’s what we’ll be looking to achieve with this one.
Emphasis on her slender, toned frame with high mobility and agility.
