The winner of the first place was "Code GeassLelouch ofthe Rebellion," the main character of "Lelouchofthe Rebellion. Given the power of absolute compliance, "Geass," Lelouch begins a revolution against the empire as "Zero," the commander-in-chief of the anti-Britannia forces. As a student, Lelouch has a cool demeanor, a droll second impression, or a third one, and when playing the role of "Zero," he tries to be ruthless and pursue only the outcome. As you probably know, playing the character of Lelouch has greatly broadened the scope of Mr. Fukuyama's acting. Lelouch, who is without a doubt one of Mr. Fukuyama's most famous characters, came in a convincing No. 1. I would like to hear him say, "Only those who are prepared to be shot are allowed to shoot. I'd like to hear him say that.


In second place was Souta Kotoyu , the main character of "WORKING! The next in second place was Sota Kotoyu, the main character in the "WORKING! He was in fourth place in the middle of the voting, but in the second half of the voting, he showed a furious pursuit of the top four, and was able to overcome a dead heat to come in second place. Although she seemed to be a calm, common-sense, and ordinary involved protagonist, Kotori Yu, a mini-con (mini-complex character) with an eye for small things, took second place.

In third place was Yuta Togashi from "Chuunibyou de Koi ga Shitai! is a first-year high school student with a black history of being an evil-eyed chunibyo, but his caring nature makes him a character who is pushed around by those around him. He is a first-year high school student with a black history of being an evil-eyed chuunibyou, but his caring nature makes him a character who is pushed around by those around him. It is a line that I would like to read out loud.


The fact that all of the top three characters are the protagonists of their works may be a feature of the popularity of the characters played by Mr. Fukuyama.

It is also interesting to note that the top three are characters with special characteristics, such as Lelouch's sissy-conscience, Kotoyu's mini-conscience, and Yuta, who now lives as a normal high school student, but in middle school had an evil eye type of chunibi illness where he kept a "Dark Flame Master" self-setup in a notebook called "Dark Flame Master" in the dark.
When looking at the list with this in mind, it is interesting to note that Kakusensee (No. 5) andPanda-kun (No. 8) are not human, Grell (No. 7) is a dominatrix and a dominatrix, and Ippomatsu( No. 4) has a hidden M attribute in his radio show. King, ranked 6th, has two appearances, that of a boy and an old man.


Ren Amamiya, the main character of "PERSONA5" (No. 9), is a natural for the leader of the "Phantom Thieves of the Heart," while Kimihiro April 1 (No. 10) looks quiet on the outside, but in reality he is a sharp-toothed hack with a lot of emotional expression. The top 11 and below are also a diverse group of characters, so be sure to check them out below.


Last but not least, Happy Birthday to Jun Fukuyama!
