The masculine half of the regular monthly character rankings poll results from the August issue of Newtype have become available along with the female version, with Kyon returning to the #1 spot with other otaku icons Lelouch and Shinji close behind.
Newtype August 2009 Male Character Rankings
1. Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
2. Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion)
3. Shinji Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
4. Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
5. Kira Yamato (Gundam SEED)
6. Kaworu Nagisa (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
7. Gintoki Sakata (Gin Tama)
8. Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist)
9. Setsuna F. Seiei (Gundam 00)
10. Date Masamune (Sengoku Basara)
Sarcastic protagonist Kyon moving up the rankings some spots is of course unsurprising given that the second series has fully begun. Lelouch and Edward have both remained consistently popular characters for quite some time now, so their high placements are also typical.
Shinji does not normally come up this high onto these sort of character rankings, much unlike his two female co-stars that have been making frequent visits to these lists for well over a decade now, but the new Evangelion movie has propelled him and Kaworu to the the #3 and #6 spots, respectively.
If you’re wondering about Kira’s high ranking, even higher than his more recent Gundam 00 counterpart Setsuna, the sight of the main Gundam SEED characters is actually not surprising as Kira and Lacus have both remained consistently popular for some years now.
Here are last month’s Male character rankings:

In case you prefer your character rankings with less manly spirit and more moe, the Newtype August 2009 Female Rankings will likely make for a better read.

kyon should be #1 in the female poll too
lelouch is a faggot. then again, thats probably why hes so popular in this poll.
i think lelouch should have been in the female character poll
gintoki should be number one. he's the only character who will like shatter a child's dream
Top 2 sucks. One's a dumbass who repeats the same month over 9000 times because he doesn't want to do homework. The other one is a faggot who puts his hand in front of his face 90% of the time. Not surprising since the voters are probably all female otaku with no taste in men.
Maybe if Kyon would ask Haruhi to help him with his homework, he could end the time loop then and there.
And Ed dropped from 1st, to 4th.
Interesting... well, I'm all for Lelouch so I don't really care.
Kyon is the champ 'cause he turn into Kyonko...
What, can Zero turn into little Rei-chan?
Nope, didn't think so
Wish I could gender swap, I'd molest myself all the damn time
Ranma!
Speaking of Ranma, if he could time it right, he could Blast up in the air, throw some water on himself and take it girl-type to the face. I'm just saying if he was so inclined.
Ah yes, Ranma, the originator of many multi-gender, self-molesting, arts.
A pioneer in the field...
Can't believe Gintoki beats Setsuna. Gintama FTW!
Kyon~!
This list is much better than the Best Husband list from a while back. Even if losers like Shinji and Kira are on it.
all hail lelouch
I'm disappointed Tomoya is out. He is probably the only harem protagonist (aside from Shinji Ikari) I would ever call an excellent, developed, complex character.
In my heart Date is always number 1 for his poor english :D
What? No Onizuka? Thats a shame ==,
Why the hell zura is not there
Where's Ichigo Kurosaki, Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, Kenpachi Zaraki of Bleach???
I understand Kyon and Lelouch, but COME ON! No one from Bleach?
How is Shinji even in this list.
Shinji...are you fuckin serious!
I wonder how long that will last when all those ditzy otaku girls who must endure EIGHT FUCKING episodes in a row dealing with ONE MOTHERFUCKING story being repeated for SEVEN and a HALF episodes?!
I hope that Quen will keep abreast on this because now I'm truly interested in the next two months' results.
LOL, Kyon looks like he's wondering 'just what the heck am I doing here?'
That's Kyon's default face. He is always wondering ‘just what the heck am I doing here?’.
Well duh Kyon is fucking hot.
all hail etc etc.
Finally they bumped tomoya off. I've been waiting for ages.
This list is clearly faulty.
Hosaka isnt on it.
QFT
setsuna is deff not from fma
yes, hes the 8th unknown deadly sin: Homuculus Patricidia
Lelouch is so gay...
there is nothing manly about lelouch. may i remind fabulous?
Lelouch is fabulous, alright. Theatrics in every appearance and he's a leader of a rebellion to boot!
said anon 69 with a giant penis in his mouth...
yes.. while lelouch is munching my ass
Japanese female otaku have no taste
Actually it make perfect sense. If you try think from "fujyoshi" perspective...Shinji is a good 'submissive' character in their BL/yaoi delusions.
And I think with Kaworu Nagisa up there as well being 'not far behind' Shinji, that's pretty much confirmed it lol
Forgot to add. The only people who deserve to be up there is Gintoki and Masamune, Lelouch maybe a 10th.
Gintoki is awesome! :D
yea for Gin san!!!
Pssh, Kyon totally deserved a spot on there. Surprising he's in first though.
And.. Kyonko with a lemon...
Quite surprised that Kyon got to the 1st place, even if he's quite cool and he's probably the best character in the anime... also Kyonko = Pure hawtness...
Ps: ALL HAIL LELOUCH \o/
I concur; All Hail Lelouch! =)
All hail Lelouch!!
surprisingly speaking , male jap are also concluded to the survey too if you didn't know =P
lol so now kyon's the hottest? :D
If Kyonko was a official character from suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu.He...i mean she,will get TOP 1 for male[Kyon] and female[Kyonko].
Yesh.
