Iraak Coega
CharacterA latecomer to the rebellion, Iraak Coega signs on with Team Dai-Gurren alongside his brother Kidd after stories of Kamina's uprising reach him. Behind the controls of the armless Gunman Einzer, he turns a design flaw into a job, carrying Yoko Littner into battle as her rolling sniper perch.
Personality
Lightly sketched by the series, Iraak comes across as sociable and easygoing, with a mild flirtatious streak he aims at several of the women serving aboard the Dai-Gurren.
History
Word of a surface dweller waging war on the Beastman regime in a stolen Gunman draws Iraak to the cause, and he falls in with Kamina's crew just before it takes the name Team Dai-Gurren. During the raid on the Dai-Gunzan, his teammates hurl boulders at the defenders while Iraak, whose machine has no arms to throw with, carries Yoko across the field as a moving firing platform.
He dies in the opening engagement of the deep-space campaign against the Anti-Spirals, cut down beside his brother Kidd as the two try to answer for Zorthy's death. The epilogue plants a blade in his memory next to Kamina's, among those honoring the team's other fallen.
