Let me introduce you to Mikasa Ackerman.
Mikasa's Profile
She is the heroine of Attack on Titan, and although she has a very beautiful appearance, she also possesses strength that is hard to imagine from her beautiful appearance. Her mother is an Asian, which is said to be almost extinct, and when she was a child, her mother gave her the family's embroidery on her right wrist. She is extremely calm and cool, and is a beautiful girl. She is 170 cm tall and weighs 68 kg, which is a very muscular build for a girl. Although it is not shown in the story, she seems to have rock-hard abs.
What is her relationship with Eren?
When Mikasa was just 9 years old, kidnappers suddenly came to her house and killed her parents, and she was also kidnapped and almost sold off. Eren happened to be there and rescued Mikasa. At that time, Eren told Mikasa to "Fight!", and in response, Mikasa killed the kidnappers. It was self-defense because they were about to be killed. Even so, Mikasa displayed the power of a young child of 9 years old to kill two adults. After that, Mikasa, who became an orphan, was taken in by Eren in Shiganshina District and lived with him.
Obsessed with Eren
Since Eren saved her when she was young, it is no exaggeration to say that Mikasa revolves around Eren. When her parents were killed and she was taken in by the Yeager family, Eren, who was watching Mikasa's condition, wrapped her scarf around her. Since then, Eren has become a special person to Mikasa, and she is no longer the usual calm Mikasa who is always by Eren's side and protects Eren. The way she tries her best for Eren is very devoted and cute. Is that emotion love or familial love? She may not even know it herself. But she is quite jealous of Eren, so she may actually like him.
Is Mikasa a Yandere?
Her blind dependence and obsession with Eren can sometimes make her a yandere. When she finds out that Annie is the female titan, Eren hesitates to defeat her, but Mikasa says to him, "You have to defeat her, right? Is there some special emotion that's getting in the way?" Her defiant words and face when she tells him are terrifying. In another scene, Mikasa suddenly appears with a negative aura around her while Eren and Christa are happily talking while carrying their luggage. She steps in between the two of them, asks if she can borrow Eren's luggage, and takes it away, but Mikasa at that time is also very scary. In both cases, Mikasa is jealous of other girls. Her expression is so scary that it's no wonder she's called a yandere.
Mikasa's Strength
Mikasa's strength was released after she was kidnapped as a child. Her limiter was removed. This power is said to be possessed only by members of the Ackerman family. She completed all subjects perfectly in the training corps and graduated at the top of her class of the 104th class. In her first battle in the Trost District, she defeated many Titans, demonstrating her strength to the point that it was said that Mikasa alone had the fighting power of 100 average soldiers. She was also seen fighting alongside Captain Levi against the female Titan, and it can be said that she has strength comparable to Captain Levi.
What is the Ackerman family?
It is known that the Ackerman family was originally the right-hand man of the monarchy and one of the central figures of the monarchy. The king seems to have the goal of creating a peaceful world by tampering with the memories of humanity to make past history nonexistent, but it is said that minority bloodlines such as the Ackerman family and the Oriental clans are not affected by the king's memory tampering. Mikasa is the descendant of a family that is not affected by memory tampering, with an Asian mother and an Ackerman father. It is clear that Mikasa has a more important role than just being the heroine by Eren's side. And the meaning of the "mark" engraved on Mikasa's right wrist becomes important. I'm curious about the meaning of this tattoo that must be passed down from generation to generation of Asian families!
The voice actor in the anime is Ishikawa Yui!

Mikasa is strong and beautiful, calm and hard to understand what she is thinking, but she loves Eren. The voice actress who plays Mikasa is Yui Ishikawa. She was originally a child actor belonging to the Himawari Theater Company, and in fact, while still working as a voice actress, she is mainly active as an actress, mainly in stage productions. She is a voice actress who is just as cute as Mikasa. It's surprising that she can act as a cool beauty of Mikasa, which is hard to imagine from her cute appearance! It seems difficult to play a character like Mikasa, but her acting skills do not disappoint Attack on Titan fans and Mikasa fans, and she has completely established the image of Mikasa!
Mikasa in the anime is especially cute!

Although Mikasa is originally set to be a beautiful woman, her cuteness stands out even more in the anime. Her eyes are large and droopy, her eyelashes are long, and her lips are glossy, emphasizing her femininity more than in the original work. Attack on Titan has many battle scenes and the Titans are creepy, but Mikasa is the only one who looks like a heroine from a shoujo manga. Those who watched the anime from the original work may have been surprised and said, "What?! Is this Mikasa?!" I would like to thank the animation staff for making Mikasa so cute.

Mikasa in the anime is cute! Among the popular scenes, I will introduce three scenes that I thought were especially cute!
Mikasa smiling with tears in her eyes

This scene is very important in the original work. In the anime, Mikasa is especially beautifully drawn, so it is a scene that is particularly noteworthy. As Eren blames himself for watching Hannes get eaten by a Titan right in front of him, Mikasa thanks him for being with her and says, "Thanks for wrapping your scarf around me."
Blushing Mikasa

In this scene, Mikasa is treated like a lover by Ian, who says that she is "protecting her lover," and she blushes and corrects him, saying that they are family. This is a very rare scene in which the usually cool Mikasa blushes. In the anime, Mikasa's charm is even more pronounced, so you can see her looking very cute.
Mikasa angry at Captain Levi

This is a scene where Mikasa expresses her anger at Captain Levi for using violence against Eren, who is very important to her. "That little brat got too cocky" is something that would be so scary to say to Captain Levi. But that's what Mikasa says. In fact, Captain Levi may or may not have heard her.
