What a surprise, "Junjo Romantica" You Miyagi came in first place.
At the same time, the "[Special Event] We will do it again this year! 2020 BL Anime Popularity Poll" (this poll is open for voting until today, March 27, 2020) was being held, and thanks to "Junjo Romantica" ranking 7th, a character from a BL work came in at number one.
Yong Miyagi is the protagonist of the "Junjo Terrorist" version and a university professor who is Hiroki Kamijo's (CV: Kentaro Ito) boss in the "Junjo Egoist" version. He is a character who is attacked by his ex-wife's brother, Shinobu Takatsuki (CV: Daisuke Kishio), to the point of being a terrorist, and eventually falls in love with the clumsy Shinobu. Kazuhiko shows us all kinds of expressions and makes us listen to them. From the playful scene in which he teases Hiroki to the cunning of an adult who is 17 years older than him and full of adult sex appeal, Kazuhiko Miyagi won the first place.

In second place was Nyanko-sensei / Ikaruga from the "Natsume's Book of Friends" series.
Although he has been called "pig cat," "fat cat," and "ugly cat," he is a much-loved mascot character with a charming appearance, as evidenced by his countless appearances on countless merchandise items. He is a character with a rich variety of facial expressions, including cuteness, sassiness, and an occasional side as a "bouncer. In addition, Kazuhiko's low-pitched voice as "Ikara," the giant white beast that is the character's true form, allows the audience to enjoy his handsome voice as much as possible.

In third place was Kakashi sensei Hatake Kakashi from "Naruto. Like Nyanko-sensei, Hatake Kakashi is usually a jovial character, but in reality, he is a well-liked, student-oriented person who would definitely have a fun and enjoyable school life if he were his own homeroom teacher. His parents died when he was very young, and his teammates and mentor also died in the war.

Fourth place went to "Candy Candy" Anthony Brown, who has blond hair and deep blue eyes just like "Prince on the Hill," and is a handsome character with an honor student's style. His portrayal of Anthony Brown was his breakthrough role, and can be said to have shaped the image of Kazuhiko as the "good-looking guy! In many ways, he is Kazuhiko's original character, so it is no surprise that he was ranked in this category.

Shiro Yamaoka, the original goofy character played by Kazuhiko, who has appeared in such works as "Nyanko-sensei" and "Kakashi-sensei," was ranked fifth, while Shirotori Nosaburo from "Detective Conan," ranked sixth, is the character he took over from Kaneto Shiozawa who passed away in May 2000, and is a perfect successor to Shiozawa's character. Many viewers may already know Kazuhiko as Shiratori.

In seventh, ninth, and tenth places, handsome and good-looking characters were lined up, including Dusty Attenborough from "Legend of the Galactic Heroes," 009/Shimamura Joe from "Cyborg 009," and Master Cars from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Among them, ranked in 8th place is "Shurat the Sky Warrior"'s King Kalora Reiga. Many of you must have thought, "Kazuhiko's gay-talking character is the best! I'm sure there must be a lot of people who thought, "I love the gay-talking character played by Kazuhiko-san!

The top three characters are all "teachers," although they are different in character, which is a rare result.

Finally, we would like to wish Kazuhiko Inoue a very happy birthday!
