Are Levi and Mikasa siblings? I've heard Levi being called as Levi Ackerman,
which in Mikasa's backstory, you discover that her last name is Ackerman as
well, although no recognition passes between them, and you never see them
together as children.

Are Levi and Mikasa siblings?


No they are not siblings.

Below are some details you may not want to know if you have only seen the
anime.

> Levi is the son of a prostitute named Kuchel Ackerman who died while Levi

> Levi growing up to a limited extent but obviously was not a good man.
> Mikasa's father was an Ackerman while Levi inherited the name from his

It is not clear how closely related they actually are beyond that as most of
their family trees are unknown.

The spoiler below is a quote from the
