Of the 364 votes cast, Wolf Fraken of the "Space Battleship Yamato 2199" series took first place with 139 votes, while Klaus Keiman of "Space Battleship Yamato 2202" received an overwhelming number of votes to take first place in the birthday contest held in January for Hiroshi Kamiya. This time, too, the passionate Yamato fans gathered, and he won by a margin of 100 votes over the second-place winner.
The FRAKEN is known as the "Hound of the Hounds" because of its tactical ability to hunt and kill its prey using the UX-01, a flexible submarine. Even though the Gamilas military is extensive, there is no one better when it comes to subaerial rivers and the like! He is a professional in warfare. He is a loner who doesn't like those who wear their authority on their shoulders, and he doesn't consider his emotions to be those of a superior officer. Moreover, he has the ability to organize his subordinates, who are not always easy to deal with, and is not always easy to listen to.

Second place went to Corporal Giroro, the "red devil of the battlefield!
He loves weapons and is the only one of the Keroro Platoon who has a military-like personality, but when it comes to Natsumi, he shows a bad attitude that even those around him are appalled by, and he is sometimes called a "useless dog" by Keroro because he is useless at crucial moments. Although he is a military man, he is very different from Fullaken, but when he gets excited, turns bright red, or gets flustered, Giroro's acting is superb.

Coming in a close third, just two votes behind Guilolo, was Kotomine Kirei from the "Fate" series. Unlike the top two characters, Kotomine Kirei is a "villain" character who is recognized as a mastermind the moment she appears on the stage. He is famous for his "dead eyes," but he also has a side that makes him a fan of spicy bean curd. It was inevitable that he would make the Top 3 again.

Arcard of "HELLSING" came in at No. 4, with the comment, "He looks like a russ boss, but he is actually the main character! In fact, he is the main character! And he is a vampire who is on the side of humans! He is a handsome, good-looking, and skilled vampire hunter. He has countless charms, can fuse with weapons, and can be shot with a rifle bullet and not die. And he is the main character. It would be strange if he did not become popular.

The two characters who tied for fifth place with 13 votes were completely different in their characterization.
Van Glanz, a.k.a. Dr. Van from "Tales of the Abyss," is the epitome of the "I was going to believe he was a good guy, but he turns out to be a bad guy after all! He is the epitome of "I thought he was a good guy, but he turns out to be a bad guy after all! The other is "Log Horizon's " Captain Nyanta, who is strong, smart, and a good cook. It is hard to imagine anyone who has not been charmed by Nakata-san's low-pitched voice, which calls the other characters "Nya" and the other characters "~chi. The fact that such opposite characters are equally popular is the charm of Joji Nakata's voice.

He is also the father of everyone, Hyogo Otoo ("WORKING!!!"), and the man who looks after Uso and the other young people. ), Leonid Almodovar ("Mobile Suit V Gundam"), who watched over Uso and the other young men and made a spectacular suicide attack in the end, bringing tears to viewers' eyes, and Roy Levant ("SoltyRei"), the heroine in the story of the search for his missing daughter, or rather, the tsundere father figure. Nakata also plays many beloved father characters, such as Roy Levant ("SoltyRei"), the heroine of a story about the search for a missing daughter.

The Count of Monte Cristo, ranked 10th in the list, is the main character of "The King of Caves," a film that utilizes hybrid digital technology to create a visual world that no one had ever seen before, including a 3DCGI futuristic city and costume design that uses 2D textures. The Count of Monte Cristo is a strong character who has left an impact that is as strong as the visuals in this film, and it is evident that every work in which Mr. Nakata plays the main character is a mass of strong personalities.

Although Mr. Nakata has a strong image of being the voice of "the villain," when you look at it this way, you can see that the characters he plays have a variety of charms, such as a handsome old man who takes advantage of the fact that he sounds evil at first hearing, a good-tempered old man, and a character who shows glimpses of compassion and cuteness. The ranking shows that the characters played by Mr. Nakata have a variety of charms.

Seiyu Kohaku Uta Gassen 2020," which was scheduled to be held for the second time on May 2, was unfortunately cancelled this year due to the spread of the new type of coronavirus infection and requests for self-restraint by the government. However, the "Seiyu Kohaku Uta Gassen" is scheduled to be held in the future, so let's look forward to the next event where we can enjoy Nakata-san's good-looking voice and get to know his personality!
