Hmm, this is an interesting question. Let's see what I can come up with...

In all honestly, I hated Yoko when I first started watching TTGL. Like seriously. It was bad. I think it was because she just seemed like another big-boobed psuedo-tsundere that anime has way too much of these days (perhaps not in combination, but there are a lot of "well endowed" women and a lot of tsunderes). It was probably also because of the whole Kamina thing... Kamina is my husubando, so the first half of episode 8 did NOT set well with me.

Actually, now that I'm writing this down, Yoko reminds me a lot of myself (at least by the description I gave). O_O; Oh wow, that's... a little upsetting. Apparently I have a bit of hatred for myself deep down? XD;;

Well, enough self-psychoanalysis. Back on topic: after Yoko was finally given a real personality and emotional depth (mostly as the first half of the series came to a close, into the timeskip), she became much more... relatable? No, that's not the word... Perhaps I mean realistic -- like she didn't just jump out of some guy's fantasies. She seemed more like a real person, and I became a lot more empathetic towards her. By the end of the series I found myself actively rooting for her, so here I am now, in the Yoko fanclub. XD; Yaaaay.

Yoko is amazing. Not only does she wield an awesome gun, but she also has a great personality and she becomes a teacher! That was totally unexpected. My respect grew for her after she saved the children. :)

Yoko Ritona was a soldier's soldier. She'd been fighting the occupying military force since childhood and was expert with edged weapons, firearms and martial arts. She could soldier by herself or with others equally effectively.

Intelligent, savvy and wise, Yoko was unfortunately treated shabbily by the two lead male characters in spite of the fact she was the lead female character. This misogyny and sexism, however, never detered her from concentrating upon prosecution of the war for liberation.

Yoko should have had her own series, where she wouldn't have had to play second fiddle to little boys with big machines. She'd forgotten more about combat strategy and tactics than any of the other characters would ever know, yet Gainax chose to use and abuse her then cast her aside like yesterday's garbage.

I won't get into the ill-advised decision to bring in a Mary Sue magical-princess character to "replace" Yoko. It was done in a dishonorable manner (episode 12 of the anime series) which brought shame on Gainax and all 'Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann' products. Yoko was a brilliant lead character who surely deserved to lead the Brigade upon Kamina's death, but instead she was banished by the very people who created her.

'Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann' isn't about Kamina and Simon. It's about Kamina, Simon and Yoko. She saves their sorry butts time and again, gives excellent advice which the two males continuously ignore to the detriment of the war effort and repeatedly displays her athleticism and valor. Why all that is lost on Gainax executives remains beyond me.

At least Yoko is given some cameo scenes late in the series, in which she once again shows what a powerful character she is. She is also the best hope for the future, insofar as her combat skills and intellect enable her to survive the war: Kamina, who ignoresYoko's sound advice and dies as a result, doesn't survive; Simon, who never thanks Yoko for all she's done for him, ends up moping about and throwing his life away; but Yoko, now Yomako, becomes an educator who is beloved by one and all.

Whilst the Web's vocal anti-Yoko faction continues to be fixated upon her physique and wardrobe, those with a modicum of circumspection and intelligence see Yoko for the exemplary young woman she has always been. She's my all-time favorite character from artistic and literary fiction; and I hope she'll not be forgotten.

I love teacher Yoko. :-)
She's strong, smart, capable, and loves kids.

And she should have gotten more screen time in the series.
And she shouldn't have grown old and alone in Episode 27. What a waste of hotness.

In my opinion, Yoko is one of the most realistic female character I've seen. Not necessarily in her appearance, but mostly in her attitude.

The first time I watched the serie, I really liked her character design (Truth to be told, it was what made me want to continue watching TTGL) and I liked her overall personality. When I watched it for a second time, I noticed all her little flaw and the little details that made her feel, well, like a normal girl (Like in episode 6, when she get jealous when Kittan's sisters are flirting with Kamina, but don't say anything). To me, she's way more than a simple fanservice character, even if that's obviously a art of her, sadly. She's intelligent, kickass, has quite a personality and as a bonus, she's cute. What do you want more?

Well, she's so cute you'd want to hug her and never let go. She can fight alongside looking pretty and she's smart, too. And just like someone noted before, she really feels like a normal girl, even while swinging her gun. I've never been a much of a fan of girls with guns, but Yoko is something else. An' those are the only reasons why.



Oh, who am I kidding, I like her for her boobs too, like everyone else.

1.She's so sexy
2.She's a redhead
3.She's a sniper

After all Yoko's characater design is fantastic.She's smart and brave.Lives with her past but lives for future.She throws herself to death for friends etc...Also her responses to events are so realistic in series.I think that's what makes her so loveable...

Well, i'm not gonna tell I don't like her body, ofc I like it, she's pretty sexy& hot!
But, for me that was a bonus.

As people have noted before, she's a very realistic girl, and her personality is what appealed the most to me.
I mean, she's a strong girl, but not because she was willing to, she was forced to be cause the world she was born into.
She's a very fragile girl too, and she's want to show her weak side but she's not being able to,she's also very determined in what she does. With the passing of time, she reinforce herself to become a really mature character that you are tempted to like.
She shows you a really realistic personality along the series, and that made me love her.
Yoko is great!!!
