In this year's voting, in which 4376 votes were cast, the top vote-getter was Yusho Uemura. In "Majority Lost," Narita Saneatsu gives a fine performance as a truly royal protagonist who never gives up in the face of crisis. His straightforward voice and characterization seem to fit perfectly.

In second place was Kohei Amasaki, who was drawn by "Sister-in-law Life" Yuta Asamura, "Wistoria of the Staff and the Sword" Will Serfort, and "Sometimes blurts out in Russian, Arya-san next door" Masachika Kuze. He had been ranked high in the poll, but thanks to his call to listeners to participate in the poll on his radio program "Edison," in which he also serves as a DJ, his ranking jumped to second place. The direct appeal to the program listeners must have been very effective. Thank you very much for spreading the word about this project!

Third place went to Reigo Yamaguchi, who plays Deadshot, the leader of the "Otherworldly Suicide Squad. Mr. Yamaguchi's unique thick, austere voice beautifully portrayed the important character of the Suicide Squad's leader, the assassin. The appeal of this villain-like character, who has a sense of responsibility while at the same time giving a sense of badassery, is due in large part to his handsome voice.

In fourth place is Ryohei Kimura, who plays Shinsuke in "Sengoku Yohu: Senma Chao-hen." In the Winter 2023 poll, he was in sixth place for his role as Shinsuke in the first-cool "Sengoku Yohu," but in the second-cool episode, he moved up to fourth place. With the excitement of the anime, he may have gained more attention.

Takuya Sato, in fifth place, is a newbie adventurer who is trained to death by the strongest party and becomes invincible. In "Delico's Nursery," Takuya Sato plays a normal guy with some comical elements. In "Delico's Nursery," he plays a privileged father and an elder. The range of his characters is wide, even when it comes to elders. Fans will be happy to enjoy the extremes of comical and cool.

Masaaki Mizunaka, ranked 6th, is very impressive as the fiery "Wistoria of the staff and sword" Theon Ulster. Theon looks down on the main character, Will, but eventually comes to see him as a rival. Finally, he explodes with emotion and shouts, "Look at me! is arguably the best scene in this season's anime.

Seventh place went to Kensho Ono as Natsuo Ikaruga in "ATRI -My Dear Moments-. He gives a serious performance as the main character who lives with past trauma.

Eighth place went to Kengo Kawanishi, who plays Ignor Lindor in "Wistoria of the Staff and the Sword. He is a noble elf, and is also a character who is hard on the main character, Will. It seems that not only the main character but also the supporting characters and their casts are popular in this work.

In ninth place is Mamoru Miyano, who plays Kinnikuman in "Kinnikuman: Perfect Choujin Hajime Hen! His passionate acting and voice, which is as good as Akira Kamiya's in the previous Kinnikuman, make the work exciting.

And in tenth place is Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ryuji Nojima in "ATRI -My Dear Moments-. His low voice, which he prides himself on, beautifully expresses the blunt but gentle character that peeks out from time to time.
