The Ackerman clan is on the side of the Survey Corps and the rest of the world, with Levi and Mikasa trying their hardest to try and stop the sons of Grisha Yeager from wreaking destruction upon the entire land. Given how powerful and important this clan is in Attack on Titan, most fans would want to get a detailed overview of all the known members of the Ackerman clan. These seven individuals are mentioned below for fans of Attack on Titan to learn about.
7 Mikasa’s Mother
Mikasa’s parents didn’t really get a name that fans could identify them by. However, there’s no denying that they played a major role in governing Mikasa’s awakening and establishing her relationship with Eren, which is one of the most powerful and enduring bonds in the entire series.
The valiant sacrifice made by her mother to save her child’s life is one of the most painful images Mikasa remembers from her childhood. The human traffickers were initially aiming to kidnap both Mikasa and her mom, but an accident led to the death of the latter as well.
6 Mikasa’s Father
While Mikasa’s mother was meant to be kidnapped and sold off, her father was essentially considered surplus to requirements. As a result, the human traffickers wasted little to no time in ending his life when he opened the door.

Losing both her parents was extremely hard for Mikasa, so it’s a testament to her character’s strength that she used this moment to fuel her desire to survive and protect the people closest to her. Suffice it to say, Mikasa didn’t remain helpless for too long and became one of the best characters in the show.
5 Kenny’s Grandfather
Kenny Ackerman is one of the most interesting characters in the show, appearing during a rather localized arc that explored the politics of Paradis Island and just how twisted it really was. Near the end of this arc, his relation to Levi and the Ackerman clan is revealed.
It turned out that Kenny’s grandfather was also related to Levi’s mom, essentially making this figure his great-grandfather. It was a bittersweet revelation that came just when Kenny was breathing his last following the events in the crystallized Underground Chapel.
4 Kuchel Ackerman
Kuchel was Levi’s kind-hearted mother, who worked as a prostitute in the Underground City before conceiving the child of one of her clients. However, she loved Levi with all her heart, eventually being rendered incapable of protecting him after succumbing to a fatal illness.
Kenny came over and talked to her corpse before Levi informed him that she was already dead. This prompted Kenny to take care of Levi for a while, teaching him the tricks of the trade before mysteriously abandoning him.
3 Kenny Ackerman
At a glance, Kenny Ackerman seemed like nothing more than a heinous villain who would throw away all his morals at the slightest whiff of cash. However, it was only after certain revelations that Kenny’s true character is revealed.

His connection to Levi’s past and the Ackerman clan is quite fascinating to explore… and somewhat bittersweet, given that all of this information was conveyed right before his untimely demise. Before his death, Kenny also gave Levi a vial of Titan serum that played a pivotal role later down the line when both Erwin and Armin were on the brink of dying themselves!
2 Levi Ackerman
Levi Ackerman is one of the best characters in Attack on Titan by a country mile. His skills with the ODM gear are unmatched, with Mikasa — another member of the Ackerman clan — being the only person who could even remotely come close to her in terms of this mastery.
Levi seems like a cold-hearted person at first glance, but it’s clear that this man has been through his fair share of strife over the course of the series. His calm and composed nature came at a major price, with his best friends and mentor dying because of humanity’s unending war with the Titans.
1 Mikasa Ackerman
Out of all the members of the Ackerman clan, Mikasa is someone that fans adore the most. She is easily one of the most skilled members of the main trio in Attack on Titan, saving both Eren and Armin’s hide time and time again with her impressive skills. Even when Eren gets the ability to turn into a Titan and Armin reveals just how brilliant his tactical mind really is, fans still ardently believe that Mikasa is still the most competent part of the group.
Most people would argue that her incessant obsession over Eren becomes too much to bear as the series goes on, but it’s clear that her conflict with Eren is going to boil over by the end of the final season. Fans can’t wait to see how Mikasa deals with the person to whom she was indebted for her entire life after he’s gone down such a dark path.
