Rina Hidaka, with her cute voice, often plays so-called "younger sister-type (attribute)" or "little girl-type " characters. Among the many characters with the "little sister" attribute, the one that beat out all other rivals to take first place was Ai Hinatsuru, the heroine of "Ruyo no Oshigoto! The one who came in first, beating out all other rivals, was Ai Hinatsuru, the heroine of "RYO no Oshigoto! Ai Hinatsuru, the heroine of "Central's Oshigoto! is a story about a third grader, Ai Hinatsuru, who longs to become a professional Go player and apprentices herself to the high school Dragon King, Hachikazu Kuzuryu. The relationship between Hidaka's sister character, Ai, and her older brother, Yaichi, is one of respect and affection, and Hidaka's playfulness and charm surely won over the hearts of many older brothers. Among all of Hidaka's sister characters, Ai Hinatsuru stands out from the crowd as the most adorable.

After Ai Hinatsuru, second on the list was Firo from "The Rise of a Hero of the Shield. Firo is one of the followers of Naofumi Iwatani, the hero of this work, and is actually a monstrous bird-shaped monster called "Filo Real. However, when transformed into human form, she is just a cute little girl. Her cuteness is so destructive that even Motoyasu Kitamura, who was supposed to be her adversary, falls in love with her. The gap between her strength when she changes into her bird form and her foolishness is also amazing, but in the midst of a storyline that is basically a sordid one, the cute and innocent Firo is a breath of fresh air. Although she was unfortunately defeated by Ai Hinatsuru for second place, we could clearly sense the high popularity of this work by the fact that it was a close race right to the very end.

In third place was Silica (Ayano Siliko)from "Sword Art Online. Silica's position in this work is also that of a younger sister character. The main character, Kirito, has a real sister, Naoha, in the real world, but in the world of SAO, Silica, who seems to be the youngest, is portrayed as a sister character among Kirito's group. Kirito sees in Silica the image of his younger sister, and Silica also looks up to Kirito like an older brother. Needless to say, the cute voice of Ms. Hidaka is perfect for the younger sisterly character of Shirika.

The above are the top 3 best characters played by Rina Hidaka, and we hope you can understand how indispensable her voice is to the current anime industry and to characters with sister attributes. The top four were very close, with only a few votes separating them, but here is a quick rundown of the top three.

Hard Gore Alice (Hatoda Ako ) from "Magical Girl Raising Project" ranked in fourth place is the youngest character among the magical girls in this work, who kill each other. Although she could be described as a juvenile character, she is shrouded in mystery until the very end, and her gothic Lolita-style costume also makes her popular among the magical girls. The next character in fifth place, "Juliet of the Boarding School," Wankocho, is one of the supervising students at the Black Doggie House belonging to the main character, Inuzuka Roumio. She is also a younger sister (she looks good in a Chinese dress), but in fact, she is a talented girl who skipped a grade at the age of 14 to become a sophomore in high school. She also has a twin sister, Tekia, who is also played by Yui Ogura, who is a close second to Hidaka in terms of sisterly characters.

Meanwhile, "Black Bullet's" Enju Aihara, ranked 6th, is the heroine of the same work. She is the sidekick of the main character, Rentaro Satomi, and calls herself "Fuanse. Naturally, she is quite capable of fighting, but since she looks like a 10-year-old girl with twin-tail hair, she is probably more of a younger sister character than a simple heroine. Among the younger sister characters played by Hidaka, she is a relatively active character with a tsundere personality. The next character in seventh place, Shirakiin Ririchiyo, is the protagonist of "Inu x Boku SS" (Inu x Boku: Secret Service). She, too, is a character with sisterly attributes from her appearance, but her tsundere, or "tsunshun," setting, which is also rare among the characters played by Ms. Hidaka, is similar to that of Nobuju Aihara.

Further following at No. 8 is "Uchiyo" (Last Order) from"To Aru Majutsu no Index" (A Certain Magical Index). She is the last of the "Sisters" (also known as "younger sisters"!), clones of the work's heroine, Misaka Mikoto. She is the last of the "Sisters" (also known as "younger sisters"!) of the heroine of the film, Misaka Mikoto, and is truly the younger of the younger sisters!　Who else but Ms. Hidaka could play this role? (No, there is no one. (No, probably not. ・・・・・・)

The last 9 in the top 10 were Rosia (SHOW BY ROCK!!!!), Sumihara Satoka (SCHOOL SCHOOL SCHOOL ), and Hidaka Hidaka. ), Sumihara Satoka (Schoolgirl Strikers Animation Channel), Ake Nagisa (Strike the Blood), and Mirim (Reincarnated and turned out to be a Slime), who were all ranked in the same order. As one might expect from this point, all of these characters have sisterly attributes. But why is it that all of them are so cute?　All you sister-lovers out there, rejoice!　And bow down at the feet of Rina Hidaka!

Actually, there are still many more to come... For the results of the voting for 13th place and below, please refer to the following page, big brother!

Last but not least, Happy Birthday Rina Hidaka!
