Hikaru Tono is having an impressive year so far, surpassing her competitors to claim the top spot in the polls. Her captivating and well-rounded portrayal of Anna Yanami solidified her position as one of the rising stars in the industry. With such a strong performance, her future looks even brighter.

Close behind her is another promising talent, Wakana Maruoka. Her role as the mischievous Yuki Suou has charmed audiences, earning her second place and edging out her and Tono’s co-star, Sumire Uesaka, who claimed the third spot.

Kohei Amasaki has unquestionably earned the title of best male seiyuu this season. Voicing four major roles—three of them as the main protagonists of top-ranking anime from our weekly charts—his first-place finish comes as no surprise. However, it’s not just popularity that propelled him to the top; it’s the sheer brilliance of his performances, consistently delivering standout moments.

Coming in at second place is Takeo Otsuka, who delivered another stellar performance as Aqua Hoshino in the second season of Oshi no Ko. Although he secured first with the same role in the Spring 2023 anime season, his performance remained consistently outstanding, proving he still has what it takes to stay at the top.

Close behind in third place is Shuichiro Umeda, who showcased incredible versatility this season. From playing a caretaker of losing heroines to an extraordinary individual longing for the ordinary, and even a cross-dressing lover, Umeda brought each role to life with remarkable skill and exceptional performances.

It’s not just rising stars dominating the rankings though as veteran seiyuus Tetsuya Kakihara and Hiroshi Kamiya also secured spots in the top five. Kakihara’s powerful voice work continues to shine and Kamiya once again demonstrated his ability to bring charisma to any character.

A New Era

While we’ve seen the same familiar names dominate the polls for a while, this season brings a nice change of pace. Yes, some well-known seiyuus are still at the top, and they certainly deserve their spots, but it’s nice to see new talent rising through the ranks. This season highlights the continued growth of the seiyuu industry, showcasing fresh voices and rising stars. As anime gains popularity, with new titles, unique directions, and diverse genres constantly being introduced, it feels like we’re entering a new era filled with exciting, fresh, and amazing voices bringing our favorite characters to life.
