Gimmy Adai is a supporting protagonist in the anime series Gurren Lagann. He is a young boy from Adai Village and Darry Adai's older twin brother. The two are frequently looked after by Rossiu Adai. After the twins were exiled from Adai Village, Rossiu chose to go with them and the trio joined Team Dai-Gurren in their fight against the Beastmen.

He is voiced by Takako Honda in the Japanese version and Brianne Siddall in the English version, the latter of whom also voices Ken Amada.

Appearance

During Part I, Gimmy's orange hair fell low and straight down his face, framing his visage with a lock between his eyes. We wore a brown cloak in the style of a cape, under which he wore a black undershirt and blue shorts, with brown shoes. In Part II his hair has been spiked up quite a bit, the only remnant of his old hairstyle being the lock between his eyes. He wore the standard Grapearl Squadron uniform for the entirety of Part II, with the exception of Simon's wedding.

Personality

Gimmy is the more impulsive and outgoing of the twins. In Part I, one would be hard-pressed to find Gimmy outside his usual joyous demeanor. He becomes more mature in Part II, being deemed mature enough to pilot his own Grapearl. While fighting the Anti-Spiral's Ashtanga and Death Spiral Machine, Gimmy would show much more emotion, as he was distraught over the losses of his friends in Team Dai-Gurren, especially Jorgun and Balinbow.

Gimmy also was struck with fear when the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren was trapped in the pocket of ultra-dense space, and wanted to join Kittan and Yoko in the fight against the mass-produced Ashtanga despite being unable to because of his fear. 

Gimmy naively believed that Simon could bring any deceased person back from the dead because of his colossal Spiral Power, and wondered why Simon didn't do so instead of accepting the losses they'd suffered. After a short explanation from Yoko and some elaboration on Simon's part, Gimmy understood and was found worthy of inheriting Lagann by Simon.

Trivia

• His name is derived from the Japanese migi (右) meaning right (as opposed to left).
