To celebrate Kito Akari-san’s birthday, Anime! Anime! had conducted the reader survey “Who is your favorite character voiced by Kito Akari-san?”. A total of 140 responses were received during the survey period from Sep. 30 to Oct. 7.

The 1st place goes to Kamado Nezuko “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” with supporting rate of approximately 26%.
