Big river! Shana! Ruiz! Nagi! Iori! The tsundere characters of past generations are in the crowd! The last part of the "Kugimiya Rie's Birthday Commemoration! Hammer Character Popularity Poll" is now in its last part!

May 30 is the birthday of popular voice actress Rie Kugimiya, also known as "Kugyu!

To commemorate her birthday, Akiba Research Institute is holding "Kugimiya Rie's Birthday Memorial! Hamari Chara Popularity Poll" from May 30 to June 5.

Rie Kugimiya is known for her tsundere! No, speaking of tsundere, is Kugimiya-san the tsundere?

Whatever the case may be, Rie Kugimiya has a voice that brings out the charm of tsundere characters, and she continues to stand alone as the top runner in the tsundere world.

Naturally, many of the characters up for voting are also tsundere characters.

The current ranking of the vote is as follows.

No. 1 "Gintama" Kagura: 36 votes

No. 2 "Toradora! Aisaka Taiga 22 votes

No. 3 "Fruits Basket" Kusamara 19 votes

No. 4 "Fullmetal Alchemist" Alphonse Elric: 16 votes

No.5 "Shakugan no Shana" Shana 14 votes

No.6 "Zero no Tsukaima" Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière 13 votes

No. 7 "No Game No Life Zero: The Movie" Tet: 10 votes

No.8 "Hayate no Gotoku! Nagi Sanzenin 9 votes

No.9 "THE IDOLM@STER" MIZUSE Iori 8 votes

No.9 "YU-NO: The Girl Who Sings of Love at the End of the World" Shimazu Mio 8 votes

No.9 "Trinity Seven" Sora 8 votes

No.9 "Aria the Scarlet Pimpernel" Kanzaki H. Aria 8 votes

Big river! Shana! Ruiz! Nagi! Iori!

The competition among the tsundere characters of the past that have colored the era is already making my brain melt, but that's not the only character Kugimiya has played.

Kagura, currently in first place, is not a tsundere, but rather a violent heroine, and Kusamara is a maiden. Alphonse, a.k.a. Al from "Fullmetal Alchemist," is a boy character!

Below the eleventh place, there are many diverse characters who seem to overturn the public image of tsundere voice actors. As can be seen from the fact that there are currently 4 characters in 9th place, it is still difficult to predict which character will take the top spot.

Voting is open until June 5, so we encourage readers who have not yet participated to do so! The outcome depends entirely on your vote. Each person can cast up to seven votes, so you can vote for all of your favorite characters or divide your vote among those who have left a strong impression on you. Vote as you wish!
