So, the result of the 2022 Fall Anime Male Voice Actor Popularity Poll was an unprecedented development, with a whopping 3 people in the top 9.
Let's take a look at the details.

First of all, Jun Fukuyama won the first place in the fall season, and he has won the first place in three consecutive seasons, following the spring 2022 and summer 2022 anime!

This season, Mr. Fukuyama plays the roles of Yu Asai in "Eternal Boys" and Takafumi in "Isekai Ojisan," which is currently airing from the first episode after its broadcast was postponed from the summer season.

Yuu Asai in "Eternal Boys" is a competitive and quick-tempered character who, despite his age (35 years old), has a cute side to him. The scene in which he and Takeshi Imagawa, a proud former child actor played by Daisuke Namikawa, fight for the center position in the play brings a laugh every episode.

On the other hand, Takafumi, the "otherworldly uncle," plays a character who comes to share a life with his own uncle, who has been asleep for 17 years. He is sometimes quick to poke fun at the events in the other world that he is told about one after another, and at other times he is clever enough to use his power to his advantage. Takafumi, who was also voted No. 1 in the summer season, and Yu, who can also enjoy Fukuyama's cute and playful personality, are a perfect match for each other and took the top spot.

In second place was Hiroaki Hirata!
In "TIGER & BUNNY 2 (Part 2)," he plays Kaburaki T. Toratoru/Wild Tiger, a strong ally of the old man generation.

Hirata, who has been steadily increasing the number of votes since the start of this project, remained stable at the top of the list and finally finished in second place.
TIGER & BUNNY" was broadcast on TV in 2011, while "TIGER & BUNNY 2 <Part 2>" was distributed on Netflix, and although the broadcasting format and other circumstances have changed, the popularity of this work is still strong. Although the broadcasting format and other circumstances have changed, the popularity of this work is still going strong. We hope that they will continue to bark wildly.

In third place is Yusuke Shirai, who has appeared in two idol productions, playing Futaba Tsuki in "VAZZROCK THE ANIMATION" and Yamato Nikaido in "Idolish Seven Third BEAT!

Takuya Sato, who plays Reiji Amou (in "VAZZROCK THE ANIMATION") and Juryunosuke (in "Idolish Seven: Third BEAT! Third BEAT! 2nd Cool) in the same two works, ranked 6th, and Keisuke Kawamoto, who plays Ruka Nasumi in "VAZZROCK THE ANIMATION," ranked 9th. As one might expect, the casts of male idol works are always ranked in the top ten in each of the cool seasons in which they appear. This season is especially notable for the presence of cast members who have not previously appeared in the top ranks.

In fourth place is Ryohei Kimura. In "Mushikaburi Hime," he plays Christopher Selkirk Asherald, a blond-haired, blue-eyed "the prince" character. Mr. Kimura does an excellent job of bringing out the gentle side, the sharp side, and the secret love for the heroine, Eliana, in his portrayal.

In fifth place was Ayumi Murase!
Murase plays the main character Suzuki Iruma in "Ma-Iruma-kun! Iruma-kun" is a popular work with its third series airing this season. Iruma is a good-natured boy who can't refuse any requests, and he plays the role of being pushed around by various demons in a cute manner.

Seventh on the list is Hiroshi Kamiya, who plays Ataru Moroboshi in "Urusei Yatsura.
It must have been a lot of pressure to play the main character Ataru in the remake of the classic "Urusei Yatsura," but the fact that Kamiya showed the utmost respect for Toshio Furukawa, who played the original Ataru, and above all, that his fans could see that he was enjoying himself in his performance, helped him make the top spot. I believe that this is the reason for his ranking. In an interview published the other day, he talked about his past relationship with Mr. Furukawa, so please check out the interview.

Yuichiro Umehara, ranked 8th, plays Takayuki Mima in "Cool Doji Danshi", Weather Report in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean <Second Cool>", Tsukasa Kouzuki in "Romantic Killer", and Claude Jeanne Hermaia in "I'm a Villainous Daughter and I Tried to Keep the Last Boss". In fact, he has played the main character in four works this season. His great performance in this season's four works would make his entry in the ranking quite understandable.

In ninth place are Hiroaki Iwanaga as Guts in "Berserk Golden Age Arc: MEMORIAL EDITION," Keisuke Kawamoto as Luka Nasumi in "VAZZROCK THE ANIMATION," and Masahito Masahito as Kensuke Yamamichi in "Harem Kyanpukku! Masahito, who played Kensuke Yamamichi, and three others received a whopping 154 tied votes.
The three were all very different characters, and all three were able to reach the finish line side by side: the protagonist of a hard-hitting dark fantasy, the main member of an idol series, and the protagonist of a harem anime.

In addition, there were a total of 62 entries, including young, veteran, and mid-career talents, so please be sure to check out the top 11 and below.

The male voice actors in this season's popularity poll were all completely different from those in the summer anime, except for Fukuyama-san, who came in first place. The fall cool anime with various casts are currently airing to rave reviews, so why don't you check out the anime again while looking at this ranking?

Also, Akiba Research Institute is currently holding the 2022 Fall Anime OP & ED Theme Popularity Poll, so please participate in this poll as well.
