This year's poll was a wildly fluctuating one for a variety of voice actors. The winner of the "Akiba Research Institute Best Female Voice Actor Award 2022" was Risa Taneda.
Ms. Taneda played the main heroine, Quon, in the summer cool anime "Utawareru Mono : Two White Emperors. This work is the conclusion of the "Utawareru Mono" trilogy, and Ms. Taneda's Quon played an important role in the story. Ms. Taneda's dignified, yet dainty, girlish voice added color to the epic story, and she took first place by a clear margin, nearly double the score of the second-place winner.

Ms. Taneda was closely followed by Aina Suzuki, who came in second. Ms. Suzuki, who played the role of Jyakami-chan three times in "Jyakami-chan Dropkick X", won second place by winning the enthusiastic support of Jyakamists, a group of "Jyakami-chan" fans whose power increases with each new series. His increasingly polished performance is a must-see! With plans for a fourth season of "Jyakami-chan" and an OVA in the future, we look forward to seeing more of Ms. Suzuki's energy in 2023 and beyond.

Third-place finisher, Saori Ohnishi, had a very successful (!?) year in 2023 with her sexy anime. She is a very active (?) actress in sexy anime in 2023. In " One Morning, I Was a Dummy Head Microphone," she showed off the unintentional throbbing action of Yuri Asakusa (the main character is reincarnated into something she doesn't understand), and in "More Than Married Couple, Less Than Lovers," she looked like she was in a good mood, but in fact, she was a bit of a hoot. In "More than a Couple, Less than a Lover," she vividly played the role of Hoshi Watanabe, a gal who seems to be a hothead but is actually a rather pure-hearted person .

In fourth place is Hina Kino, who will be seen in 2023 in roles such as Fee in "RPG Fudosan" and Alas Ramus in "Hataraku Maou-sama! In 2023, Hina Kino was most prominent as a young and pure character, such as Alas Ramus in "RPG Fudosan," but she also gave enthusiastic performances as a girl character such as Lorea in "Shinmai Alchemist no Shops Management" and as an idol character such as You Koukou Natsu in "Shine Post. The "Shine Post" idol characters, such as Yoh today's Natsu, also performed enthusiastically, and took 4th place with momentum that foreshadows further growth in the future.

When asked which voice actor made the biggest leap forward this year? Many people would probably pick Kana Ichinose at No. 5 if asked which voice actress made the biggest leap forward this year. That's how big the impact of Sretta Mercury in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Witch of Mercury" was. As the first female lead in a Gundam series, it is not difficult to imagine that there were some headwinds from old fans at first, but she performed brilliantly in the first season, and her reputation skyrocketed! The first season of "Gundam" was a great success. In 2023, she will also play the role of Purin in "Do It Yourself! In 2023, she played the role of Purin in "Do It Yourself!" and showed that she can handle both serious and comical performances.

There is also a mixed bag of talent below 6th place.

The first of them was Mashiro Kazahana in 6th place. Usually active in adult-oriented games, Fuka-san's performance in " Harem Kyanpukku! She is usually active in adult video games, but in "Harem Kyanpu! She is a calm character, but sometimes she makes a witty remark, and she also plays a sexually suggestive situation without hesitation. He also showed his presence by acting in a naughty situation.

Seventh place went to "BOTCHI ZA ROCK! Yoshinoh Aoyama played the main character, Hitori Goto, or "Bocchi-chan" in "Bocchi Za Rokku! Aoyama did an excellent job of portraying Bocchi-chan, who is a severely communicative person. He did an excellent job of expressing the "cuteness" of a small animal in a slightly creepy manner, rather than the cuteness of a so-called "bishojo" (pretty girl) character! On the other hand, in the last episode, she covered Asian Kung Fu Generation's "Rolling Stone, Morning Comes to You". She showed her outstanding singing ability. She has also recently started practicing guitar, and is expected to become more versatile in the future.

In eighth place, Yuzuri Ai Kozuki, who made her voice acting debut as Ponyo in the movie "Ponyo on the Cliff" as a child actress, took on the challenge of voice acting for the first time in 14 years in 2023 as Mei Onigami in "Chimimo. Her dainty voice and naturalistic acting left a lasting impression on viewers. In recent years, Ms. Kozuki has moved her base of activities from Aichi Prefecture to Tokyo and has become increasingly active in the entertainment industry. We look forward to seeing more of her work in anime in the future.

In ninth place, Yurina Uchiyama is a multi-talented voice actress who is also active in the voice actress idol unit "DIALOGUE+" and in the "Seiyu e-Sports Club. She played the role of Hina Rokuishi, the main character in the anime "CUE!", which depicts girls attending a voice actor training school. She passionately played the role of Hina, who seems to be in sync with Uchiyama herself, who has started her career as a voice actress.

In tenth place is Riie Takahashi, who has established herself as a talented voice actress. 2022 will be the year of Mr. Takagi, with "Mr. Takagi the Karakai Ute no Takagi 3" and "Mr. Takagi the Karakai Ute no Takagi the Movie". She not only smiled in a mischievous way, but also showed an exquisite performance in a teasing way. She also played the main character, Kyoko Hoshino, in the Netflix-distributed anime "Romantic Killer" with excessive high tension. She is a very stable actress who can play everything from a royal heroine to a comedienne!


So, here is our list of the top 10 female voice actresses representing the year 2022. What kind of voice actresses will be active in 2023? What kind of voice actors will be active in 2023?
