Cousin relationship are not considered incestrous in Japan.
Although the fact they are adopted siblings puts kinks into the formula, technically speaking, Kirito and his sister would not be considered incest.

Due to them socially being bro/sis, a lot of people may view it that way, but it's stricktly social aspect and not physical.
