Sorry this is late. It is time to announce the winners of the Seiyuu of the Month poll for May.

Dansei - Nakamura Yuichi with four votes. Handsome and talented, he voiced characters like Alto in Macross Frontier, Kosuke in OreImo and Tomoya in Clannad.

Josei - Kobayashi Yuu with seven votes. Lovely to behold but draws like a monster. Her range lets her do sweet girls, tough girls and young boys. She voices Setsuna in Negima, Rio in Sora no Oto, Kaere in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Clain in Fractale, Mariya in Mariaholic and Dan in Bakugan.

Congratulations to our winners.

March 2012 = Fukuyama Jun & Yuuki Aoi.
April 2012 = Midorikawa Hikaru & Kuwashima Houko.

The results are in. Not a lot of people from the comm voted this time.

Dansei - A tie between Irino Miyu and Midorikawa Hikaru. They have two votes each. They both do great work. But I can only choose one as tie breaker. So, I declare the winner for this month to be Midorikawa Hikaru. A lot of his characters sound similar so he may be typecast. But so many of them just sound so damn cool. He has an epic length career. I remember when he was playing characters in the 1990s in series like Hiro in Gundam W and Tamahome in Fushigi Yuugi.

Josei - A tie between Kuwashima Houko and Toyosaki Aki. They also have two votes each. Both are very talented and sound great. But I think I will declare the winner for this month to be Kuwashima Houko. She may not be in a super seiyuu idol group like Aki is with SPHERE but she can sing and has a great character range. She'll even be cast as two major characters in the same seies such as Gundam SEED when she was both Fley and Natarle. Then in Gundam SEED Destiny she was Stella. She can do sweet girls like Filia in Slayers as well as strong girls. LOTS of strong girls, like Sango in Inu Yasha and Tomoyo in Clannad.

Congratulations to the winners!
Maybe next time more comm members can vote? I don't really like having to break ties when the only two seiyuu being considered only got two votes.
Of course it would be worse if each seiyuu only had one vote...

As many of you are aware, our small monthly Seiyuu of the Month poll is dwarfed in size by polls conducted in Japan. A recent poll on The Number 1 Best Voice for female seiyuu was done. You can see it here.
Sankaku Complex has a translated version.

The winner was Sawashiro Miyuki.
It's a bit sad that older favorites like Hayashibara Megumi or Inoue Kikuko did not place but that is the nature of the industry these days. Amazing seiyuu become less popular if they do not appear in main anime roles for a while.

They mention that Sawashiro is married but I can't verify how accurate that is. One comment poster disagrees and cites something she said on a radio show she did in January as proof that she is not yet married. .

The winners from the poll results.

Dansei - Fukuyama Jun with four votes. Nakmura Yuichi just lost by one vote at three. An epic number of voice rolls under his belt for both animation and live dubbing as well as video games. Perhaps his biggest role is Lelouche in Code Geass. Other notable roles include Watanuki in xxxHolic, Lawrence in Spice & Wolf, Keita in Inukami!, Yukio in Blue Exorcist and Shinra in Durarara!!

Josei - A tie between Otani Ikue and Yuuki Aoi with four votes each. Both with enormous talent. So with my tie breaker vote, I delcare the winner to be Yuuki Aoi. I love Otani Ikue (and everyone likes Pikachu) and her career has spanned a great length with many great roles. But this month I will award the title to Yuuki Aoi in honor of her winning the Seiyuu Awards this year. She has come quite a long way in a few years. Notable roles include Ichigo in Yumeiro Patissiere, Victorique in GOSSICK, Iris in Pokemon, yaoi freak Hana in Ben-To, Toshiko in Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru and Madoka in Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Just a reminder; if you vote for a seiyuu who was already a SotM winner within the last year (12 months) that vote will not count.

Past Winners:
Janurary 2011 = Konishi Katsuyuki & Saiga Mitsuki.
February 2011 = Ono Daisuke & Takeuchi Junko.

February 2010 = Hosoya Yoshimasa & Kayano Ai.

The poll votes are counted. Only ten comm members voted this time. I present the results for the February Seiyuu of the Month winners.

Dansei - Hosoya Yoshimasa. He barely edged out the competition with 3 votes. He has picked up more main roles in the last few years. My favorite anime role of his is Juzawa Ju from Denpa Tekina Kanojo. I hope to see more of those books animated. I really enjoyed the OAV. He is also in Chihayafuru, Katanagatari, Prince of Tennis, MoshiDora and Maid Sama!

Josei - Kayano Ai the clear winner with 6 votes. I first heard her as violent yuri iinchou Shiraume Ume in Ben-To. A relative newcomer with talent and potential who has recently started to pick up main roles. Other anime she is in includes Sket Dance, Kamisama Dolls, Guilty Crown, Cat God and Heaven's Memo Pad.

Congratulations to the winners!

====
A.O.D. is a small anime convention in San Francisco Japantown at the Hotel Kabuki. It is also this weekend. They have had seiyuu from Japan in the past but not for the last few years. None this year either. But it should still be fun. The English voice talent they have for guests is good.

By way of a facebook post by Danny Choo.

DIVINA is a free to play MMO game that features an all star cast of seiyuu. The game also has official tie-ins with anime companies. Right now there is a promotion with Hanasaku Iroha.
The page lists and has voice samples for Itou Kanae, Kitamura Eri, Inoue Marina, Kugimiya Rie, Takehito Koyasu, Horie Yui and more! In the more portion I believe I see pictures of Wakamoto Norio and Tanaka Rie.
Both Nexon and GungHo have pages for the game.

But there is also an English language company hosting the game in Beanfun.

Your votes are counted and the winners for month are:
Dansei - Yoshino Hiroyuki with four votes. A talented veteran with quite the portfolio of roles. Alleluja in Gundam 00, Sora in Stratos 4, Sigma in Mahou Shoujo Tai Arisu, Hibiki in Vandread, Heisuke in Hakuoki.

Josei - A three way tie between Itou Kanae, Kotobuki Minako and Minagawa Junko. Each had two votes. So, using my tie-breaker vote I declare the winner this month to be Itou Kanae. She has come a long way in a short time. I remember one person's comment post elsewhere summed up last year's anime seasons as "Itou Kanae everywhere." Elsie in The World God Only Knows, Sena in Boku ha Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Sanae in Ika Musume, Ruiko in To-Aru Kagaku no Railgun, Aoi in Ro-Kyu-Bu, Koume in Taisho Yakyuu Musume.
