Characters
Eren Jäger (エレン・イェーガー Eren Yēgā)
Voiced by: Yuki Kaji
The protagonist of the series. Idealistic, violent, and impulsive, Eren seeks to annihilate the Titans and explore the outside world. As a child, age 9, he killed two of the kidnappers that murdered Mikasa's family and convinced Mikasa to fight and kill the third one after he and his father came looking for her. He was ranked 5th in his trainee class. He has no particular talent aside from his excellent close combat skills, but has been slowly but steadily improving his grades through outstanding effort and a strong sense of purpose.
He displays a strange ability to be able to summon and control the body of a 15 meter class Titan. Eren believes this ability to be the result of injections given to him by his father after the death of his mother. He initially had little control over the titan body that he summons, and would attack anything that he sees while in this form but, after increased use gained full control. When the Titan's body can no longer be maintained, Eren emerges from the nape of the Titan's neck (the common weak point of all Titans), where his body appears to be fused to the Titan's spine.
Mikasa Ackermann (ミカサ・アッカーマン Mikasa Akkāman)

Adopted Sister of the Jeager Family. She is an orphan whose oriental race was wiped out by the Titans. As a child, age 9, she was saved by Eren from a group of kidnappers who murdered her family. Due to this incident, she is very protective of Eren, and will follow him no matter the circumstances. She was ranked 1st in her graduating class, and always maintains her composure no matter the situation. She is considered an unprecedented genius, a prodigy who excels in the most difficult courses. She is often teased about her attachment to her foster brother.
