CATDOLL: The results of the 2017 seiyuu general election are out, and the senior predecessors are still as charming as ever

As an important and indispensable part of animation, voice actors in Japan have always been highly valued. Recently, Japan's TV Asahi also held a special program called "Voice Actor General Election 2017". The judges of this election are 200 professional voice actors. The results are very different from those of general voice actor selections. The middle-aged and veteran voice actors shine, while those idol voice actors are almost not on the list. This has also caused dissatisfaction among some fans of idol voice actors, saying that TV Asahi's selection is too one-sided. However, this time it is a selection of voice actors, not idol voice actors or big-breasted voice actors, so the result is still relatively professional.

BEST1-10 voice actors and their respective representative roles:

No. 1: Koichi Yamadera (Blessing for Good Governance)

No. 2: Masako Nozawa (Sun Wukong)

No. 3: Keiji Fujiwara (Shin-chan's father)

No. 4: Miyuki Sawashiro (Fujiko Mine)

No. 5: Tomokazu Seki (Second Generation Suneo)

No. 6: Mayumi Tanaka (Luffy)

No. 7: Takayama Nan (Detective Conan)

No. 8: Nakao Takashi (Friza)

No. 9: Toshio Furukawa (The Big Devil Piccolo)

No. 10: Akio Otsuka (Bart)

BEST11-25 voice actors and their respective representative roles:

11th place: Hayashibara Megumi (Ayanami Rei)

No. 12: Tomoyuki Morikawa (Nickelodeon Zootopia)

No. 13: Shibata Hidekatsu (Fullmetal President)

14th place: Junichi Suwabe (Victor)

No. 15: Kotono Mitsuishi (Usagi Tsukino)

No. 16: Akiko Yajima (Nohara Shinnosuke)

No. 17: Ryoko Sakakihara (Harman)

No. 18: Kiyoshi Kobayashi (Daisuke Jigen)

No. 19：Shioya Tsubasa (Miyagi Ryoda)

No. 20: Chiba Shigeru (Fist of the North Star)

No. 21: Hinata Noko (Asakura Minami)

No. 22: Akira Kamiya (Kenjiro)

No. 23: Kaneta Kantoku (the first Suneo, deceased)

No. 24: Yuji Miya (Tatsuya Uesugi)

No. 25: Hiroaki Hirata (Sanji)

Tied for 25th place: Shimamoto Sumi (Nausicaa)

In fact, there are quite a few young voice actors on this list. Miyuki Sawashiro is the youngest voice actor on the list and ranks fourth. In addition, Junichi Suwabe, Akio Otsuka, and Keiji Fujiwara are also relatively young. In general, although the selection of voice actors this time is biased, the older generation of voice actors has laid a prosperous foundation for the current voice actor industry. It is normal that the older generation of voice actors account for the majority of the Top 25.

And everyone also discovered an interesting thing on the list. Among the BEST25 voice actors, only Mayumi Tanaka has never dubbed an animation work of "Detective Conan". It seems that "Detective Conan" really has gathered many well-known voice actors.
