So, the character that came out on top from among the many popular characters is, as expected, Azunyan, aka "Azunyan. Azunyan, or Azusa Nakano from "K-ON! Azunyan, Azusa Nakano of " K-ON!

Azunyan appeared in the middle of the first season as a year junior to the main character, Hirasawa Yui and her friends, and many of you may remember that she quickly gained popularity with her guitar skills, which you would never guess from her cute little animal-like appearance. He is also a monumental character who became the catalyst for Taketatsu's breakthrough.

On the other hand, she is not a good singer, is not very good at being sweet, and is full of other elements that hit all of our buttons. Personally, the live scene at the climax of the movie version and her appearance afterwards were the best.

By the way, Mr. Taketatsu was only 20 years old when he first played Azunyan! Including her youthfulness, I would say that she is still the most addictive character in the series.

Many people may think of the character played by Ms. Taketatsu as a "younger sister" type character. Perhaps the two characters that have defined this image are "Sword Art Online" Rihua/Kirigaya Naoha (No. 2) and "Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai" Kosaka Kirino ( No. 3).

Naoha Kirigaya ("Leafa" is the name of the character in the online game) is the younger sister of Kazuto Kirigaya, aka Kirito, the main character. In addition, her breasts are growing to great acclaim, making her a rather sinful younger sister character.

Kirino Kosaka is also a troubled younger sister character who usually makes her brother run around like a servant or annoys him with her selfishness, but she does it all as an expression of her love for him. The moment when Kirino shows her true colors is the moment when this character shows her true colors. It is in this gap that the charm of this character is concentrated. It is also hard to forget the story of her relationship with her brother, which shocked many viewers at the time. Kirino, with all the charm of a tsundere younger sister, is also a sinful younger sister character.

Her sweet loli voice is somewhat mean-spirited. But the dialogue is irresistibly cute. Because both characters display such coquettish charm to the fullest, they received a large number of votes.

Their love for the main character goes out of control, and they even create a somewhat maddening atmosphere. Such "bad" characters are also Taketatsu's forte.

The fourth-ranked character, Futano Nakano of "The Bride of the Fifth Class," is in the same vein. Although she was rather wary of the hero at first, she gradually forgave him, and in the end, she turned into a character who runs amok in love, especially among the heroine sisters. She is a bit of a tsundere, a bit of a madcap. Her cute voice makes her crazy nuanced character even more "badass" and attractive.

No. 6 "Okusama ga Student Council President! Hagoromo Wakana andAko Suminoe of "kiss x sis" ( No. 9) are also in this lineage.

Many readers may think of Taketatsu-san as a "food" artist! Many readers may say, "Food! In her own activities as an artist, she has released a song called "Rice and Meatyu," in which she sings about her love for the guilty combination of rice and meat, and in a Yoshinoya commercial, she does not hide the fact that she is a gourmand.

Perhaps aware of her character, she often plays characters who show an unusual obsession with food.

In addition, she has a lineup of characters who can't shake the feeling of being B-class gourmets, such as Hotaru Edadaru ( No. 5 in the "Dare ga Butai" series) and Koizumi-san (No. 8 in the "Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san" series) who are both into "ramen" (ramen noodles). This familiarity is also one of the charms of Ms. Taketatsu.

Both of these characters, of course, have more scenes of eating than characters in other works. Recently, some voice actors have been releasing ASMR videos in which they show the sound of chewing in detail. No, you could say that. I admit that I disagree!

In fact, it is possible that they are processed by SE, but if you let your imagination run wild ......, don't they seem like happy characters to your ears who can enjoy the sound of Ayachi's chewing?

Many of the characters I have introduced so far have been quite sharp, but of course, that is not the end of the story. Some slightly quiet or mysterious characters are also popular.

No. 7 "Tamayura" Sawatari Kaede is a slightly unreliable girl who is fond of saying "because of...". With a camera left behind by her late father in hand, she worries about her future and eventually decides on a career path.

No. 10 "Girls und Panzer: The Movie" - Shimada Airisu is a shy girl who is usually shy, but once she gets into battle she is a tactical genius (in fact, she is a college student who skipped a grade). The genius Lolita character is a standard in this type of anime, but the character is played in a direct and adorable manner without being pedantic about it.

In this way, even if we speak of "cute characters," each of them has a distinct personality, and the fact that we can easily remember what kind of character they were shows the high quality of voice actress Ayana Taketatsu's acting ability.

The characters ranked 10th and below are all characters whose voices can be replayed in our minds along with the memories of the works.

Please check the results of the voting.

Incidentally, Ms. Taketatsu played the role of Koneko To jo in "High School DxD," in which Mr. Kaji played the main character Issei Hyodo, who announced his marriage to fellow voice actor Yuki Kaji last year. It should be noted that this Koneko Tojo is ranked 24th in the list.

Last but not least, Ms. Ayana Taketatsu! Happy Birthday!
