Basically, the profile names of two of the characters are wrong
"The Anti-Spiral"?
In his official profile in Final Drill, the translation of アンチスパイラル (Anchisupairaru) is Antispiral. Similar to how its Lordgenome and NOT Lord Genome, it's Antispiral not Anti-Spiral.
However, Anti-Spiral IS an official term, it is used to refer to the entire race, and the kanji for this term is 反螺旋族 (Han Rasen Zoku) or Anti-Spiral Tribe. アンチスパイラル is used when referring to the character himself
Ik that at this point, Anti-Spiral is the way almost everyone in the vs debating community spells it, but ultimately Anti-Spiral and Antispiral are meant to both be different things
Yoko Doesn't Have a Last Name!?
Yeah, she doesn't. In none of the guidebooks or even the official website, is she referred to as Yoko Littner. (Linking a pic of her profile in Basic Drill wouldn't be good support, because Surnames weren't created until Post-Timeskip, to where this guidebook covers Pre-Timeskip. And linking a pic of her profile in Work Soul would also not be good support, because every character is listed with just their first name, even though Work Soul covers Pre-Timeskip and Post-Timeskip of the movie adaptation). Go look at every character profile in the official website, everyone but her (Simon, Lordgenome and Boota) is listed with a last name, and actually the reason is gotten through the light novel
Yoko doesn't live in Kamina City, therefore isn't under their legislation and therefore wasn't there to give a last name
Conclusions
Yoko Littner's profile to be moved to a new page called "Yoko (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)"
The Anti-Spiral's profile to be moved to a new page called "Antispiral"

That's why we created surnames. To create a family register to control the entire nation by using the underground village of origin as a surname.
