First place went to Natsumi Kawaida, who plays the role of Himari Hyakusen, the "Ayakashi Prince of the Hyakusen Family," by a huge margin of more than 1,000 votes over second place. Originally a child actor, Ms. Kawaida has appeared in numerous productions as both main and sub characters since 2017, when she made her voice acting debut. She has impressed viewers with her solid and nail-biting performances. In "The Ayakashi Prince of the Hyakusen Family," she passionately played the heroine, Himari Hyakusen. With her straightforward performance and dignified voice, she is a driving force in the story.

While these new generation of talented voice actors top the list, the second and third places are occupied by VTuber voice actors.

In second place is Koito Ria, another name of VTuber Mikecat, who is causing quite a stir. She uses this name for her voice acting and artist activities. Koito is making her first attempt at voice acting with the role of Lilium in "Meiyu 'Isekai no Yu' Kaitenki: Arawo Onsen Maniac Reincarnated in a Relaxed Hot Springs Heaven. Since this was her voice acting debut, fans were united and she received a large number of votes. Whether this result is a testament to her ability or a celebration, ...... is a good place to start. We will keep an eye on his future activities.

Third-place finisher, Aglio Aurio e Peperoncino, is the king of the pasta kingdom. Since he calls himself the "Former Four Heavenly Kings" Vtuber, it has been whispered that he is the reincarnated form of a certain VTuber who is currently on hiatus and boasts global popularity. We look forward to seeing more and more of her acting, singing, and distribution.

Looking at the top four and below, we see a new generation of voice actors who have been making their mark in recent years.

In fourth place is Kanasan Yuuki, who plays the role of Lily in "The Strongest Tank in the Labyrinth: A Tank with 9999 Strength and Rare Skills Gets Banned from the Yuusha Party. She gives a good performance as the cute younger sister in contrast to the mature atmosphere of her older sister, Lilia, played by Ayaka Ohashi.

In fifth place was Mayuko Kazama, who plays the role of Saya Mizugami/Madia Azul in "Longing for a Magical Girl," followed by Fuka Izumi, who plays the role of Utena Hiiragi/Madia Bese in sixth place, and Shiori Sugiura, who plays the role of Korisu Morino/Nero Alice in seventh place, all three of whom appear in the same production.

Eighth place went to Ms. Kazuki Mikawa as Aoi Mizushino in "Ore Dake Dareru Level Up na Matte". She plays the role of a younger sister who is worried about her brother in a dainty manner.

Ninth place went to "Ninjiranai," which was also popular in the last Fall 2023 Anime Poll! Cryptoninja Sakuya", which was also popular in the previous Fall 2023 Anime Poll! Cryptoninja Sakuya 弐ノ巻," in which Nagisa Horimoto plays Sakuya, which was popular in the previous Fall 2023 Anime Poll. Hayato Ikeda, the author of the original work, himself called for the vote this time as well, and the large number of votes cast by fans helped her to make the top 10 for the second consecutive year.

In tenth place was Misaki Kuno, who played the role of Touko in "The Fire-Hunting King: The Second Season. She is well known for her acting ability, but her realistic performance with a touch of life shines through in this work.
