Taking first place was Hiro Shimono, who plays Nanao Nakajima in "Demon Slayer: Infinity Train Arc" and has recently been seen in even greater numbers on TV as "Nanao the Incompetent.
Although he has had fewer opportunities to play an active role than the other characters, he was ranked high from the start of the voting, and was already in fourth place on the first two days. After five days, it took over the top spot, and continued to battle it out with the second-place finisher.

In second place was "HIQUE! TO THE TOP (2nd Cool)", played by Ayumi Murase as Shoyo Hinata. His popularity is still strong this time, and he was in first place right from the start of the show. In the end, Mr. Shimono's performance was so strong that he was able to catch up with Mr. Murase, but Shoyo Hyuga, who is a favorite of Mr. Murase, was still strong.

In third, eighth, and ninth place were Hiroshi Kamiya as Choromatsu, Daisuke Ono as Jyushimatsu, and Yuichi Nakamura as Karamatsu from "Osomatsu-san (3rd season). Of course, Takahiro Sakurai, who plays Osomatsu, Jun Fukuyama, who plays Ichimatsu, and Miyu Irino, who plays Todomatsu, also appear at the top of the list, so be sure to check the rankings for the 11th place and below. This work features a large number of popular cast members, and it has been a long time since a TV anime was broadcast, so it can be said that the results are the result of passionate feelings.

Also showing the strength of the work was "Melancholy Moriarty," in which Takuya Sato, who plays Albert James Moriarty, ranked 4th and Soma Saito, who plays William James Moriarty, ranked 10th. This TV animation is based on the manga of the same title serialized in "JUMP SQ." (Shueisha) by Ryosuke Takeuchi (composition) and Teru Miyoshi (manga), set in late 19th century England. The animation is produced by Production I.G, and the series is composed by Taku Kishimoto. Akiba Research Institute's official poll project " What will you watch next season? The work that won first place in the " 2020 Autumn Anime Popularity Poll " held from September 8 (Tue.) to September 22 (Tue.), 2020, also showed its popularity in the popularity poll for lead male voice actors.

This season, there are also works featuring young voice actors, and the aforementioned Takuya Sato and Soma Saito are also entered as Takato Shojo in "A3! SEASON AUTUMN & WINTER" and Gentaro Yumeno in "Hypnosis Mike -Division Rap Battle- Rhyme Anima-" respectively. He has also made an entry.

In addition, he also played the role of Gentaro Yumeno in "Tsukiyuta. THE ANIMATION2", KENN, who plays Aoi Satsuki of Six Gravity, is also in 5th place. Aoi is an orthodox and refreshing high spec prince. Although Aoi often follows the unique members of the group, she shows a childish gap to her childhood friend Shin, and above all, KENN's singing ability is the reason for her ranking in this category.

Koki Uchiyama, who plays Takashi in "Ikebukuro West Gate Park," which was made into an anime 20 years after its broadcast in 2000, came in at No. 6. In the anime version, which also incorporates current events such as the issues of video posters and foreign workers, Takashi's character is different from the drama version in that his characterization is more in line with the original story. The result showed that many supported Mr. Uchiyama's performance of Takashi, who is taciturn and different from the impression of the drama version, in his own way.

Lastly, in the latter half of the voting period, Gen Sato made a sudden surge to the top of the list, coming in 7th place as Darius Bowman, the main character in "Jurassic World: Survival Camp," an avid dinosaur enthusiast boy. Making his first appearance in this project, Gen Sato has so far played Chrome in "Dr. Stone" and Butaro Nunotsu in "Hoshiai no Sora," and is already scheduled to appear in 2021 as Tomoyuki Kubota in "Skate Reading Stars," Fumiya Tomozaki-kun in "Weak Character Tomozaki-kun," and Soma Azeido in "Shakai Hot Kabaddi, He is a promising young voice actor. Gen Sato is a stoic voice actor who stoically takes on every challenge in the world, and we look forward to seeing him in action next year.
