![]() ![]() Japanese actor Yūki Kaji commented on how it was important that he should voice Eren's Titan form because he believes it is an extension of the character. Haruma Miura (right) portrayed him in the live-action film. Yūki Kaji (left) and Bryce Papenbrook (middle) voice Eren in Japanese and English, respectively. As he looked over previous chapters of the manga, Isayama stated that Eren's fight against the Warhammer was one of his favorite scenes. Isayama originally intended for Eren to have known all along that he was a Titan. Isayama has also identified Takanori Gomi's southpaw fighting style as a model used for Eren's Titan and the way it fights. The character's Titan form's physique was modeled after middleweight mixed martial artist Yushin Okami. Because Eren is an energetic character, Isayama chose to give him black hair so that it would be easier to draw speed lines around him when he is moving. He specifically chose to give Eren thin eyebrows instead of thick ones because he felt it would be "artificial" to try to use thicker eyebrows to accent Eren's angry personality. Isayama has stated he paid particular attention to Eren's eyes when designing him, in order to make him stand out from the rest of the cast. In retrospect, Isayama believes Eren fits the type of narrative he wrote for Attack on Titan, something that Isayama managed to relate with. One day, he wanted to go beyond the mountains, which reflected in the town surrounded by walls in the manga where Eren lived in the series' beginning. When he was a child: He lived in a rural Japanese town surrounded by mountains. ![]() Isayama stated that Eren's wish to go outside the city's walls is similar to his own. Isayama has stated that he has struggled in the past to make Eren feel "alive" when writing and has called the character "a slave to the story". ![]() Isayama has stated that part of the reason he chose the name "Eren" for the character is because it sounds feminine, which would make it easier to remember. As a result, he was not given unit warrior talent in comparison to other members from the series. The character has proven popular within the Attack on Titan fanbase, while his voice actors Kaji and Papenbrook received praise for their portrayals of the character.Ĭreation and design Eren's fighting style is based on Takanori Gomi.Īuthor Hajime Isayama created Eren to be "an ordinary youngster who gets paralyzed with fear" when seeing a titan. Reception has become more positive in later arcs of the manga and anime as he becomes a more ambiguous rather than heroic character, evidenced in the 6th Crunchyroll Anime Awards where Eren was nominated for "Best Protagonist" and "Best Antagonist" simultaneously, and went on to win in the latter category. Positive comments focused on the character's ideals and newfound powers as a Titan as well as his character arc. In the live-action film adaptations, he is portrayed by Haruma Miura.Ĭritical reception to Eren was initially polarized, finding him too antagonistic and harsh for his age. Both of these actors found difficulties in employing different types of voices based on how Eren grows up across the narrative. In the anime adaptation of the series, Eren has been voiced by Yūki Kaji in Japanese and Bryce Papenbrook in English. Isayama created Eren with the idea of a character whose fears and dreams were relatable but often clashed with his own darkness, resulting into multiple changes to his characterization. He has also appeared in other related media including anime and video games. As the story progresses, Eren gains the power of becoming a Titan later identified as "Attack Titan" ( 進撃の巨人, Shingeki no Kyojin). In order to defeat the Titans, Eren enlists in the Military and joins the Survey Corps-an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls and also study the physiology of Titans in order to know what they are fighting. Eren is a teenager who swears revenge on enormous man-eating humanoid creatures known as Titans, who have forced what remains of the human race to live in walled off cities and devoured his mother while destroying his home town in the Shiganshina district of Wall Maria.
