Taking first place by a landslide is Misuke Takagi, who has a strong fan base as a voice actress who excels in both acting and singing after her work with the voice acting unit "Wake Up, Girls!" which sadly disbanded in 2019.
In this season's "Sorairo Utility," in which high school girls enjoy playing golf, she plays the main character Minami. The 16-year-old Minami, who takes the challenge of golf very seriously in a very innocent way, is very approachable even to viewers who are not familiar with golf.
She also sings the ED theme song "Gunsei Love theory" with Yurina Amami and Ayasa Goto, who also appear in the show.

Manatsu Murakami, who is also attracting attention for her singing ability, was selected in second place for her first starring role in a TV anime entry, "Asa-chan no Sailor Fuku," as Shoji Asa, a girl who tries hard to make friends and is full of emotional expression. Her clear voice with the freshness of early summer is very appealing as the main heroine of a coming-of-age anime, and it is sure to lift our spirits as well.
In "Odd Taxi," a movie version of which will be released on April 1, she plays the role of Yuki Sanya, a black cat idol. Her innocent character is also very cute and popular, so be sure to check her out.

Next in third place was Riyo Takahashi. Her most recent work is her role as "Mr. Takagi," a character who plays tricks on boys in "Karakaje no Takagi-san" (Mr. Takagi, the Master of Cute), a popular and cute movie that will be released in the summer. She is highly popular among female viewers for her devilish scenes involving body touching, which are not too suggestive. It must take a lot of skill to say lines like, "I won't forgive you if you don't do it," without hesitation.
Ms. Takahashi is also in charge of many popular female characters, such as Emilia from "Re-zero. She will continue to appear in a variety of roles, including that of Irene, the main character in "I'm a Villainous Daughter and I Tried to Own the Last Boss" (to be broadcast in October), and her momentum is only increasing.

In fourth place is Himena Naoda, who plays the gal Kaimu Kitagawa in her first starring role in the cosplay x heart-warming work, "Sono Kisetsudai Ningyo wa Koi ni Suru" (That Dress-Up Doll Will Fall in Love). She is gaining support for her perfect portrayal of the cute Kaimu, who is savage but suddenly becomes more maidenly, and is sure to become a major work of art in the future.
In addition, she has played the role of Toruko Kirigaya of "Morfonica," a band in the "BanG Dream!
A new original anime featuring "Morfonica" has also been announced, and we look forward to that as well.

Next comes No. 5. Let's decide the best leading voice actress of the year! She has been active since 2015, and her role as the neutral girl Toru Rokugi in "Tokyo Ghoul: re" has attracted attention for the difficult role of her mental breakdown.
In Mitsuo Iso's animated feature film "Shonen Shonen Shojo" (extraterrestrial boy and girl), which opened in January of this year, she was selected for the role of the main character, the "kitchen hacker" Toiya Sagami. Her perfect boy's voice, which one would never guess was played by a woman, is well known as a true talent.

Next on the list were Yurina Uchiyama and Yui Ishikawa. Yurina Uchiyama played 16-year-old Hina Rokuishi in "CUE! Her future credits include "Yajukame-chan kansatsu nikki 4same".

Then there is Yui Ishikawa, who has a particularly large number of accomplishments among the top-ranked voice actresses. She is best known for her role as Mikasa in "Shinkage no Kyojin," which is reaching its climax this season, but she is also well received for her role as Seiko Fuji, a beautiful but "gorilla" policewoman in the new anime "Hakozume. She seems to be particularly well known for her role as a woman with a strong core.

Incidentally, Shion Wakayama, who plays Kawai, a rookie police officer who is paired with Ishikawa's Fuji in "Hakozume," also ranked 20th on the list. Ms. Wakayama is a former child actress who has appeared in several TV dramas, including "Taiga Dorama. She emotionally expresses Kawai's gung-ho and comical side, and we wonder if she will have more roles like that in the future. We are looking forward to seeing more such roles in the future.

Other voice actors in this year's popularity contest include Aoi Yuki as Biwa in "The Tale of the Heike" and Saori Hayami as Miyuki Shibanami in "The Lesser Students of Magical High School: The Chasing Arc".
We hope you will check out all the voice actors.
