Top 10 Seiyuus of 2007

[nebs66]

The Japanese magazine Anican ran a readers survey recently to find out who were Japan's favorite seiyuu (voice actors) of 2007. The #1 male actor turned out to be Fukuyama Jun of Code Geass fame, while the top female was Horie Yui from Higurashi & Familiar of Zero. There were also categories for best seiyuu groups as well as up-and-coming artists. I've included character examples for all the seiyuu & tried to keep them to NebsTV series that we've had on the site, so you can know what they sound like. The complete list lies below:
