Eren Yeager (Japanese: エレン・イェーガー, Hepburn: Eren Yēgā), spelled Eren Jaeger in the Funimation dub, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Attack on Titan manga series created by Hajime Isayama. Eren is a teenager who swears revenge on enormous creatures known as Titans that devoured his mother and destroyed his town. In order to defeat the Titans, Eren, alongside his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, enlist in the Military and join the Survey Corps—an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls. As the story progresses, later learning it was his father 's doing, Eren gained the power of becoming a Titan later identified as the titular Attack Titan (進撃の巨人, Shingeki no Kyojin). Eren uses this power to give his people an advantage to defeat their enemies while learning of their true identity and their own history.
In the animeadaptation of the series, Eren has been voiced by Yūki Kaji in Japanese and Bryce Papenbrook in English. In the live-action film adaptations, he is portrayed by Haruma Miura. Critical reception to Eren was initially quite mixed but grew more positive as the series progressed, though the character has typically proven popular within the Attack on Titan fanbase and anime in general.
