In her second nomination in the Seiyuu Seasonal Polls, Rie Murakawa has once again broken into the Top 10, but this time, she is no longer barely hanging on after finishing 9th in Fall 2021. Instead, she rose to the occasion and claimed the crown, becoming the best female seiyuu of the season. No longer hanging on by a thread this time as she took the spotlight voicing Ram from Re:Zero Season 4.
Taking second place is Ai Kakuma, who returned as Eris in Mushoku Tensei Season 3 and once again brought her signature bombastic energy to the character. Meanwhile, Aoi Yuki secured third place with another standout performance as Tanya in the long-awaited Season 2 of The Saga of Tanya the Evil.

Yusuke Kobayashi has done it again, taking home the Male Seiyuu of the Season title for the second consecutive season. His performance as Natsuki Subaru in Re:Zero once again proved why he remains one of the most standout performers of the season.
Joining him in the Top 3 are his Re:Zero co-stars Tomokazu Sugita and Takuya Eguchi. Sugita delivered another spectacular performance as Old Rudeus in Mushoku Tensei Season 3, while Eguchi impressed once again as Julius in Re:Zero Season 4.
And the Faithful Shall Be Rewarded
Once again, the polls are filled with veterans, rising stars, and some of the industry’s most prominent voices. But this season also brought some well-deserved recognition to several underrated seiyuus who have delivered standout performances for years and rarely get the spotlight they deserve. Through continued hard work, they have finally had their chance, and their faithful fans have also been rewarded.
Thank you to everyone who voted and supported our seasonal polls. We look forward to seeing you next season!
