The biggest surprise last year was the rise of the child actor Kato Seishiro (8). He entered the top 10 in the Kanto, Kansai and Nagoya regions.
His popularity increased a lot with his role in the taiga dorama "Tenchijin" and his Toyota "Kodomo Tencho" commercials. Kodomo Tencho was even nominated for the buzzword of the year. Kato also appeared on NHK’s annual singing contest "Kouhaku" last year.
Tamaki Hiroshi topped the ranking for the Kanto region for the 2nd year in a row. His "Nagatanien" and "U-Can" commercials are still as popular as ever. Ueto Aya ranked 2nd and Nakama Yukie came 3rd place. They both switched places compared to last year. Talents who improved a lot compared to last year are Kato on 7th (last year out of range), Matsuzaka Daisuke on 12th (last year on 1,202nd), Maya Miki on 9th (last year on 227th) and Eita on 16th place (last year on 177th).
