the Levi Ackerman Statue

Located in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, the Levi Ackerman Statue stands proudly near Oyama Dam—an area believed to be the hometown of Levi in the Attack on Titan universe. Unveiled in 2021, the life-size bronze statue shows Levi in his signature Survey Corps uniform, kneeling with blades drawn, eyes sharp and unwavering.

This monument is more than just a photo spot—it’s a powerful tribute to one of anime’s most iconic characters. Placed at the base of a towering dam, the location captures the overwhelming scale and tension that define Attack on Titan. The surrounding mountains, mist, and solemn setting perfectly reflect Levi’s quiet strength and loyalty.

While many fans flock to popular anime destinations in Tokyo or theme parks, this statue in rural Kyushu offers something special: authenticity and emotional connection. Hita is the birthplace of Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama, and the city has embraced its ties to the franchise.

The Levi Statue has become a must-visit location for dedicated fans—those who want to go beyond merchandise and experience the story’s roots firsthand. Visitors often leave notes, flowers, or tribute art at the statue’s base, making it a living site of fandom memory and community. For those who admire Levi’s resilience, discipline, and quiet heroism, this spot is sacred ground.

A trip to Hita is more than just seeing the Levi statue. The region offers a complete Attack on Titan-themed experience: visit the nearby Oyama Dam, often compared to the anime’s colossal walls; explore local art installations and limited-edition souvenirs; and enjoy the historical streets of Mameda Town, blending Edo-period charm with modern fandom energy.

Whether you're traveling solo, as a duo like Levi and Erwin, or as part of your own Survey Corps, Hita invites you to explore the deeper world behind the anime. Quiet, scenic, and full of character, this off-the-beaten-path destination is a dream for fans seeking both beauty and meaning in their journey.
