Simon Fan Club

<img src="http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x305/ayumu_shiiba_chan/simon.jpg" border="0"> <strong>Simon was born in Giha Village, one of many subterranean civilizations on Planet Earth in the far future. Unlike other villages, Giha Village had supplies of fresh water, animals (Molepigs) for eating and electric generators for light. At age seven, Simon's parents were killed before his eyes in a cave-in during an earthquake. As they were his only family, the incident traumatized him and gave him a phobia for earthquakes. Simon then devoted his entire existence to his job, earning him scorn from his peers. Only Kamina, the local gang leader and juvenile delinquent, reached out to Simon. Kamina "recruited" Simon into his gang the "Gurren Brigade" by dragging him along on outrageous schemes to escape Giha Village to the surface, which Kamina had visited as a young boy. Though Simon was an outcast, he would always feel more comfortable around Kamina. One day, during the digging of a new tunnel, Simon discovers a small drill-shaped object that periodically glows, an item that is later known as the Core Drill. On the same day, he unearths a large "face" in the ground, which he shows to Yoko and Kamina after Giha Village is attacked by a large Gunmen. The face is revealed to be a miniature Gunmen, and the Core Drill Simon dug up was the key to starting it. With the aid of this mech, which Kamina names "Lagann", Simon destroys the large Gunmen attacking Giha and rises to the surface world.</strong> (Source: <!--link--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_%28Gurren_Lagann%29">Wikipedia</a>)
