Let me dare to say that I am Sasuoni! In commemoration of Yuichi Nakamura's birthday, we have announced the results of the "Hama Character Popularity Poll"! Hammer Character Popularity Poll" results announced!

Akiba Research Institute's official voting project "Yuichi Nakamura Birthday Memorial: Hammer Character Popularity Poll," which was held from February 20 to February 27, the birthday of voice actor Yuichi Nakamura, has closed! Hammer Character Popularity Poll," which was held from February 20 to February 27. Here are the results.

Yuichi Nakamura is known by the nickname "Yuukyan.

Since his debut in 2001, Nakamura has had a difficult time playing main characters and leading roles, but after playing such memorable main characters as Takaya Abe in "Okiku Furikabutte" and Tomoya Okazaki in the TV anime "CLANNAD," he has played a succession of major characters. He is currently a very popular voice actor.

From among the many characters Nakamura has played, 125 characters were selected for the "Yuichi Nakamura Birthday Memorial: Hammer Character Popularity Poll! Hammer Character Popularity Poll" project, in which 125 characters were selected from the many characters Nakamura has played.

First, let's take a look at the voting results.

No. 1: Tatsuya Shiba " The Lesser Student of Magical High School " 66 votes
No. 2: Graham Acre / Mr. Bushido " Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Series " 40 votes
No. 3: Tetsuro Kuroo, " HIQUE! 35 votes
No. 4: Boutarou Oriki, " Hyouka " 29 votes
No. 5: Brono Bucherati " Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: The Golden Wind " 25 votes
No. 6: Karamatsu Matsuno " Osomatsu-san " 22 votes
No.7: Oscar von Leuenthal " The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These Encounter " 14 votes
No.8 : Gray Hulbuster " FAIRY TAIL " 13 votes
No.9 : Alto Saotome " Macross Frontier " 12 votes
No.10: Kyosuke Kosaka " Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai " 11 votes

From the many fascinating characters that Mr. Nakamura has played, Tatsuya Shiba of "The Lesser Student of Magical High School" took first place. In the " Happy Birthday Saori Hayami Character Popularity Poll " conducted by Akiba Research Institute in May 2019, Tatsuya's younger sister Miyuki Shiba, played by Ms. Hayami, came in third, but this time Tatsuya, played by Ms. Nakamura, took first place, and everyone agreed that "he is indeed my brother," making him the undisputed winner.
The light novel protagonists are in the same bracket as "Hyouka's" Boutarou Oriki (No. 4) and "Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai" Kyosuke Kosaka (No. 10), but Boutarou is an energy-saving, seemingly lazy character and Kyosuke is an "ordinary" character, so even for the same "light novel protagonist" there are characters with such different personalities. The fact that so many characters with such different personalities are ranked in the same "light novel protagonist" category is a clear indication of how skilled a voice actor Ms. Nakamura is.

In second place in the list of roles for which Nakamura is a skilled performer is Graham Acar / Mr. Bushido from the "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" series, who was in first place when voting began on February 21, but was overtaken by Tatsuya on February 23, perhaps due to a lack of excitement. However, they may not have been entertained, and on the 23rd, they were overtaken by Tatsuya, and their position was reversed. Even a man who could outperform even Asura could not outperform his brother, could he? However, like Mr. Bushido, who does not want a lukewarm battle, he kept his second place until the 27th, the last day of voting, without allowing himself to be overtaken by anyone below third place, showing us the "Graham Special" result. Graham and Mr. Bushido are, in a sense, two characters, but as he is a one-man army, I would like to mention that he is one character.

The third-place finisher, only five votes behind Graham Acre / Mr. Bushido, was Tetsuro Kuroo from "HIQUE! Tetsuro Kuroo of "HIQ! He is the captain of the Oto-Koma High School's junior varsity soccer team, a smart and skilled leader of the team, and a character that is sure to be popular. Kuroo's charm lies in his ability to take care of others, and it goes without saying that it is Nakamura's voice that brings out the best in him.

The top three are followed by Brono Bucherati from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Golden Wind" and Matsuno Karamatsu from "Osomatsu-san," characters that cannot be left out of the discussion of their works.

Oscar von Leuenthal from "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These Encounters" in seventh place, and Gray Fulbuster from "FAIRY TAIL" in eighth place, and from this point on, the battle was very close, with only one vote separating the two. This ranking may be attributed to the large number of characters Nakamura has played, their strong personalities, and above all, to the fact that Nakamura is a versatile actor.
