Guinble Kite
CharacterGuinble Kite is a young official of the New Government formed after Teppelin's fall. As one of Rossiu's aides during the Anti-Spiral crisis, he works to hold off catastrophe at home while Simon leads Team Dai-Gurren into space.
Appearance
Guinble is a young man, shown as a boy in material set during the Beastmen War and as an adult after the seven-year gap. The films give him brief childhood cameos as well: he turns up in Childhood's End after the Do-Ten-Kai-Zan falls, and appears with a young Cybela Coutaud in the opening of The Lights in the Sky are Stars.
Personality
The series characterizes Guinble almost entirely through his duties, presenting him as a loyal aide who stays at Rossiu's side through the government's darkest hours.
History
Seven years after Teppelin's collapse, Guinble holds a post in the New Government, supporting Rossiu's attempts to head off disaster once the Anti-Spirals declare war on Earth. He stays behind on the planet when Simon's expedition leaves to face the enemy directly, appearing from Episode 17 through the finale. Official sources disagree on his name: subtitles and the DVD cast list print Guinble, while the movie website uses Guimble Kite, and the common rendering splits the difference between the two.
