Seiyuu Award Winners for 2012 Announced

Here are the main winners from the seventh annual Seiyuu Awards ceremony, which was held Saturday evening in Tokyo:

Leading man:                                                      Leading lady:
Kaji Yuuki                                Asumi Kana


Supporting men:
Ono Yuuki                                             Suwabe Junichi



Supporting women:
Oohara Sayaka                               Tomatsu Haruka


Newcomer men:
Shimazaki Nobunaga               Yamamoto Kazutomi

Newcomer women:
Ishihara Kaori                                 Ookubo Rumi

I'm fairly happy with the selections. Asumi Kana and Kaji Yuuki are both good seiyuus. Oohara Sayaka is one of the best, and Tomacchan getting better and better.

Suwabe Junichi is one of my absolute favorite male seiyuus.

Ishihara Kaori is one of my favorite female seiyuus, and Ookubo Rumi, while not at the top of the craft, did very well in YuruYuri and Acchi Kocchi. I like her more for herself than for her performances, but that's okay.

I must admit, however, that Carrie (Ishihara Kaori) is the only one of these whom I voted for myself.

Full results on Anime News Network. Kamiya Hiroshi won the award for most votes for all awards. The singing award went to Asumi Kana, Matsuki Miyu and Ootsubo Yuka for their work for Haiyore! Nyaruko-san.
