Nana Mizuki announces the results of the popularity poll for her Hammer character in commemoration of her birthday! She's good at acting and singing! The most popular character of the top-runner voice actress is, by no means, ......!

She is very active not only as a voice actor but also as a singer! Nana Mizuki, a voice actress representing Japan in both name and reality, celebrates her "Geshon Jyusai (from her official blog)" birthday today, January 21. To commemorate this event, Akiba Research Institute will hold an official poll from January 13 to 19, 2020, titled "Nana Mizuki's Birthday Just Before Her Birthday Project: Hammer Character Popularity Poll! Popularity Poll of Hamari Characters" was held from January 13 to 19, 2020. Here are the results.

Mizuki, who also has a strong impression as an anime song singer, has many characters from popular theme songs and character songs in her lineup. On the other hand, there were also many heroines from nationally popular works, reminding us once again that, as one of Japan's leading voice actors, Mizuki plays a wide variety of characters and has her own fans.

The results of the top popular works are as follows!

No. 1 Alois Trancy ( Black Butler II ): 1384 votes

2nd place: Tsubasa Kazanari ( Symphogear series ) 1239 votes

3rd Fate Testarossa / Fate T. Harlaown ( Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series) 1204 votes

No.10 Fuyuma Minami ( Minamike ) 122 votes

Among the characters played by Nana Mizuki, Alois Trancy from "Black Butler II" topped the list! Many of you may say that this was unexpected. Or maybe I'm just uninformed? In "Black Butler II," an anime original storyline developed, Alois, who is the opposite of Ciel and should be called the main character, gained the most popularity.

This character is an original character that does not appear in the original comic book. He is a very dangerous boy character with a cheerful personality, but also a horrifying brutality and a weak heart that fears loneliness. Mizuki gives an excellent performance as Alois, who shows both extremes of his personality.

The lovey-dovey relationship with Claude, the butler who works for him, is also impressive, and the interaction between Alois and the obedient Claude must have made many people cringe.

Claude's fate is extremely harsh and tragic. The sad yet redeeming ending brought tears to many people's eyes.

Therefore, Alois seems to have been particularly popular, both in terms of character and in the sense that we can enjoy Mizuki's performance, which is rarely seen in other productions.

A character close to the boyish type is Fuyuma Minami of "Minamike" (No. 10). This is a boyish girl character, but this is also a popular character who can enjoy the charm of a cool and cool alto voice.

Second place goes to Tsubasa Kazenari from the "Symphogear" series. Not only is she a popular singer and a stoic perfectionist, but she is also "not good at cleaning up," which makes me want to say, "You are almost Nana Mizuki, aren't you? I was so impressed that I wanted to say, "You're almost Nana Mizuki, aren't you? Of course, she also sings a character song and sings the theme song.

No. 3 Fate from the "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Series" is one of Mizuki's most famous characters. She has made a spectacular transition from being Nanoha's rival to her inimitable partner. She continues to be the face of the series, twinned with Yukari Tamura, who plays Nanoha. To be honest, there are probably quite a few people who think "Nana Mizuki = Fate.

Nana Mizuki also sings the theme songs for the series as the artist Nana Mizuki, and all of them have become so popular that they are recognized as standard anime songs. The song "ETERNAL BLAZE" is especially well known, and the sight of live venues lit up with ultra-orange lights has become a standard sight.

Thus, the second and third place votes were probably the result of a perfect combination of the popularity of the characters and the popularity of the artists.

In terms of synergy between characters and songs, we should not forget Rina Ogata of "WHITE ALBUM" at No. 9. The song is about a popular idol, and while she seems to be in sync with her character, there are also scenes where she faces the harshness of the entertainment industry, which is impressive in that she takes on many of the hard elements of the work. Furthermore, in 2009, Mizuki participated in the 60th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Singing Contest) with the OP theme "Deep Love. In this respect, too, it is an unforgettable character and title.

No. 4 Ange from "Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryu no Ranbu" is another unforgettable famous character. Although she was initially a princess in a box, one day she suddenly fell into the existence of "Norma," a being treated as the lowest class. She is forced to fight dragons aboard the humanoid mobile weapon "Paramail. This is a sudden turn of events. The character gradually gains the ability to live and the strength to be human, and his transformation into a naturally wild character is delightful and painful!

On the other hand, the fifth-placed "Heart Catch Pretty Cure! Hanasaki Tsubomi / Cure Blossom, another battle-oriented heroine, is the opposite of an honor student. It is interesting to see characters who are complete opposites ranked side by side in this way.

Other popular heroine characters include Oboro from "Basilisk: Koga Ninpocho" (6th), Moeka Akaya from "Rosario and Vampire" (7th), and Hinata Hinata from the "Naruto" series (8th), who is attached to the hero.

Looking back, we are amazed at the versatility of Nana Mizuki, a voice actress who can play both boys and girls, strong and ladylike characters, and everything in between. On top of that, she is also very active as an artist, so it is no wonder she is so popular. ...... I am now aware of this once again.

Last but not least, Happy Birthday to Nana Mizuki! Happy Birthday!
