<p>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.</p>

@ton.yeung. I wonder why someone would ask and *not* want to be spoiled... Besides, you can always make use of spoiler tags.

@Joey It's actually not that difficult to be 10 or even 20 years apart as siblings. My dad and his older sister are 14 years apart. Women are capable of having children from age 18 to 40 (and some on either side as well), so that's really not an impossibility.

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 was very young. His serial killer uncle, Kenny Ackerman, took care of young 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 mother's side of the family. His biological father is unknown. They, therefore, are not siblings. It should be noted that some bloodlines in this series have special abilities and the Ackerman's seem to be one of these bloodlines.

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