Looking at the overall results, the first and second place winners were far ahead of the third and lower places, indicating that it was truly a one-on-one battle. Moreover, it was interesting to note that both of the characters were from manga series published in Weekly Shonen Jump, making it a showdown of Jump works. The result of the voting was a perfect match for Nakai's "hot" character.

The winner of the dead heat was Hijikata Tooshiro from "Gintama. The deputy chief of the Shin-Sen-Gumi and feared by many as the "deputy chief of demons" is a hot character that perfectly matches Mr. Nakai's voice. He is usually cool and has an attitude that scares others, but the gap between his cool demeanor and the gentleness he shows from time to time is enough to make many female fans go "Moe! I am sure there are many female fans of Nakai who would be "Moe~!

One of the characters who had a dead heat with Hijikata was Roronoa Zoro from "One Piece" until the very end. Although his character may somewhat overlap with Hijikata's, he is also one of the main characters in "One Piece" and is well known. He is a master of swordsmanship and uses the three sword styles. He was the first character to face off against the main character, Luffy, and later became his most reliable partner. Well, he is a cool character by all accounts.

They are usually cool and swear a lot, but they share the same passionate heart and swordsmanship skills.

The third and lower ranks are also dominated by similar characters. Zap Renfro from "Bloodline" ( No . 5) is also a character with high fighting ability despite his usual swearing. Another character with a similar orientation is Ryuji Katsuro of "Blue Exorcist" ( No. 7).

A somewhat unusual character is Shoichi Imayoshi from "Kuroko no Basketball" ( No. 4). He is good-looking and has the same characteristics as the above-mentioned characters, but he is a relatively mild-mannered and rather amiable character. Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, who appears in No. 8 " Bungo Stray Dogs DEAD APPLE," is a rare adversary character for Mr. Nakai. Among Nakai's characters, many of whom are relatively "hot," Tatsuhiko may be unique in that he is a cool character who does not know what he is thinking.
