How did Akiba Research Institute users vote for Yusa's favorite characters?　Here are the top 10.



Among the many unique Yusa characters, Shirasawa (Hakutaku) from " Onikan no Chitetsu " took the first place. Shirasawa is a rival who clashes with Onikan, the main character. He is a womanizer of epic proportions, but he is soft-spoken and easy to hate. Shirasawa is one of the most popular characters in the film. Yusa's performance is also perfect for such a Shirasawa. It is safe to say that she is a perfect fit for the role.


In second place was Harada Sanosuke from " Hakuouki. He is the leader of the Shinsengumi's 10th squad and a master spearman. He is a foul-mouthed and quarrelsome character, but his kindness and compassion for women make him especially popular among female fans. He is a representative of the "good-looking" category of Yusa's characters.


In third place is Ichimaru Gin of " BLEACH " fame. This is more of a villainous character, with an eerie atmosphere that always seems to have a thin smile on his face. He speaks in the Kyoto dialect, which is exactly the right role for Yusa, who is from Kyoto. In this sense, he is similar to Sho Midosuji of " Wamushi Pedal " (No. 4). Sho Midosuji is a player from Kyoto Fushimi High School who speaks in Kyoto dialect and leaves a strong impression as an eerie presence. He is a very eccentric character, but he also has a sad episode in his background.


The fifth-ranked character in the " Black Butler " series, Lau, is similar to Ichimaru Gin in that he is the manager of the British branch of the Chinese trading company Kunlun, but behind the scenes he is a senior member of the Shanghai mafia, the Qingbao (Chingpan). Both characters are similar in that they rarely open their eyes. Lunatic (Yuri Petrov ), who appears in " TIGER & BUNNY " (No. 7), is a typical villain character. As expected, he is a character with a mysterious atmosphere.


On the other hand, Renzo Shima from " Blue Exorcist " (No. 6) is a somewhat unique straight character in this sense. However, in the sense that his Kyoto dialect is also effective, this character may be typical of Yusa's work. Although not a main character, he seems to be very popular among female fans.


Looking at the top-ranked characters, it seems that the characters that Yusa is best suited for are mostly good-looking characters with a somewhat mysterious atmosphere. Some of the characters, such as Sho Midosuji, are oddballs, but for fans (especially female fans), good-looking men seem to be the best fit for Yusa's voice.

Please refer to the above page for the results of the 11th place and below.

Last but not least, Happy Birthday, Koji Yusa!
