She moved up from 2nd place with roughly 30% of the votes. The high school girl Sera Masumi was popular for being both cool and cute, receiving comments like, "Now I think she's a cool girl, but at first, I thought she was a boy! The portrayal of the cute Bokukko (a girl that uses 'Boku' as her pronoun) Sera-chan is amazing," and "I love the boyish tone with a hint of femininity." There was also a comment pointing out "The Wizard of the Ripples", an episode from 10 years ago, saying, "I was amazed by Hidaka-san also playing Sera-chan as a child." 2nd Place Coming in 2nd was Tendou Akane from "Ranma ½". She dropped a position from last year with roughly 22% of the votes. Akane is Saotome Ranma's fiancée. "Akane-chan's energetic tone that comes from her bright personality perfectly matches Nonko-san's image. She has the internal heroine voice!", "Nonko-san is the only person who can portray both her strong, cool side and vulnerable, sensitive side!", and "I love her relationship with Rnama where they have feelings for each other but can't be honest with them," are comments that praise the portrayal of a heroine in her adolescence. She received votes mainly from readers in their 30s and up. 3rd Place The Dominator from "PSYCHO-PASS" took 3rd place, the same position as last year, with roughly 12% of the votes. The Dominator is the special gun used by the Public Safety Bureau. Hidaka-san is the system voice of the Dominator and was praised for how it matched the dystopian world of the title and received comments such as, "That creepy inorganic voice that somehow hints on having emotion is just amazing!", and "Being able to express seriousness with a non-character role is a unique skill of hers." ■Here are some comments for other characters! For Takaya Noriko from "Gunbuster", "One of the most passionate characters played by Hidaka-san," and "The character lets me enjoy the screams." For Near from "DEATH NOTE", "When I saw her name in the credits, I was surprised that she was able to use such a voice." There were also a few boy characters such as: Seta Soujirou from "Rurouni Kenshin", "It was amazing how she played the difficult role of a boy who lost all emotion except ease. The scene where he finally regains his emotions sent shivers down my spine."
