Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Yoko Portraits

Posted under Anime Merchandise/Ebay

Got my Yoko art book today, i’m a sucker for any and all merchandise related to Gurren Lagann so this was a must have. I don’t have many art books, but the ones i do have, i love. This latest one is no exception, I adore the artwork inside, but I’m surprised at the amount of art that i haven’t seen online. There are some awesome yoko images that i bet many people haven’t seen, so i took pictures of pretty much the entire book for you all. Excuse me and my horrible lighting/picture taking ability.

We’ve all seen some of these images already, but if not here is a refresher…

I never knew this was official art, i always thought it was just some good looking fan art…

I adore this image, I want to find a scan of it and make a poster for myself. Cookies for anyone who can find a hi res scan of it online.

I thought this was fan art as well when i first saw it online, love the nurse motif.

I wonder why this isn’t online with the amount of people who love Bunny Girl Images. Or maybe i’m not looking hard enough…

Wish i knew some Japaneses, then i could know what they are saying here…

I at least get to admire the pretty pictures…

I’m assuming it’s a character profile page

I can read costume,face and item! YAY FOR ENGRISH!

I never liked the last outfit for yoko, made her boobs look a bit saggy imo…

Info on her gun, pretty badass if i say so myself…

Screencaps from the series.

Loved how her swimsuit covered up more than her daily attire.

Yomako sensei!

ooohhh figures… *drools* i want to own every one on the page, except for the Konami Yoko on MMS. I’m not a huge fan of Action figures…

There was this envelope attached to the back and since i can’t read Japaneses i just opened it to see what was inside.

This is what was inside, looks like actual pictures. I just left them in the envelope since i don’t want to damage them, still pretty darn awesome.

All in all I’m pretty impressed with this book, i was expecting it to be more of a character profile of yoko and seiyuu interviews. But it’s all images, which i like since there is no point in me getting a reading book since i can’t read kanji.

You can get your own copy at
HLJ, J-list, and Kid Nemo.

I also have Posters for sale of almost all the images seen in this post here.


Japan is just a click away!

    Was surprised as well to see there was some pictures not listed / scanned yet in well know image-board sites.
    Well, that’s good in a way, so it is still plesant to discover new stuff once the book between your hands ^^
    Got my copy of this photobook as well, and love it!

    nice-looking book. thanks for taking the time to photo-shoot it like that. I didn’t know much about that series.

    @ lu-k:
    but then at the same time it gives people more of a reason to go buy it since there is art they have yet to see.

    @ron~:
    it’s not heavy at all, i got it through HLJ with sal shipping and he no problems and the book had no damage to it.

    @tim:
    omg tim, stop what you are doing now and just go run and watch Gurren Lagann. it’s so amazing you have no idea what you are missing…
