A ranking of the most prolific seiyuu of 2010 in terms of raw appearances sees the crown snatched yet again by none other than Rie Kugimiya.
The annual ranking, calculated by seiyuu fans and based on number of appearances – this explains why it incorporates a lot of ties:
1. 134 – Rie Kugimiya
2. 125 – Miyuki Sawashiro / 125 – Keiji Fujiwara
3. 116 – Yuuichi Nakamura
4. 107 – Yuuko Sanpei
5. 105 – Fumiko Orikasa
6. 104 – Ayumi Fujiwara
7. 103 – Ayako Kawasumi / 103 – Aya Hirano
8. 102 – Ayana Taketatsu / 102 – Kei Shindou
9. 100 – Nobuhiko Okamoto / 100 – Daisuke Ono / 100 – Aoi Yuuki
10. 99 – Takahiro Sakurai / 99 – Kana Hanazawa
Kugimiya happened to be first in 2009 as well. Aya Hirano was 27th.
Of course, as raw numbers of appearances are being considered, a series of regular minor roles would project a seiyuu to the top, whilst a few choice leads would seem them languish at the bottom.

Tsundere queen!
All hail the queen
Indeed all hail the queen, i could listen to her all day without any issues she has a lovely voice :)
All hail the Tsundere queen, may she forever reign supreme!
BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN!!!!
*bows down*
She was awesome as Nena Trinity. She is very versatile.
GOD SAVE THE TSUNDERE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
I didn't even notice she was Nena.
What was that last article on aya again?
"leaving her mouldering career as seiyuu-idol behind."
Oh lol.
Tsundere Queen!.... Rie really got it's fans screaming.....
I love it when Rie Kugimiya say baka baka in Shana!!
Louise too xD
Taiga is fine too
Nagi... too.
Looks like that kind of roles fits her...
No matter what show she is in, she alway says baka at least twice in every episode.
And that can become very annoying.
Only tsundere roles, which other seiyuu with similar roles do anyway. Alphonse Elric(one of her characters) with the same routine is just wrong.
I loved Chibi Shana's "Urusei! Urusei! Urusei!" ^_^
"Uruchai! Uruchai! Uruchai!"
"Baka baka baka baka baka!!!"
"Hagete hagete hagete!!!"
And don't forget her role as Kujikawa Rise from Persona 4, she was fantastic even though it wasn't a tsundere role.
"Sempai!"
Dating her is one of the best things in playing P4..
I haven't played Persona 4. Is her voice still in the US version?
Nope, US version has english VA, but you can find an undub version around the interwebz
Too bad the Queen almost made me shoot myself when I heard her voice sounding similar to a squealing high pitched baby in Persona 4, along with the fact that she, like Fuuka, won't shut up. One of those rare times I prefer the English version better...for only that one role, though.
Yuuichi Nakamura being up there makes me such a happy fangirl, you have no idea. Can't wait to hear him reprise Graham Aker for the Gundam 00 movie!
In Soviet Russia, Graham Aker reprises Yuuichi Nakamura.
That'd be in character, considering how weaboo he is.
HAHAHAHA! You know, I hadn't thought about that in such a perspective. That's a good one.
I'm also a fan of his. His performance as Alto Saotome was a very good one too.
I'm surprised he made it up so high in the list; at first I thought he hadn't done any real prolific roles that'd garner him so much attention, yet I remember that Oofuri is a pretty popular series in Japan, so that'd probably have something to do with it.
At least Kana somewhat made it into top 10. Would've irked me otherwise.
Actually Kanae Itou would've been nice to see, but she doesn't seem to have much roles.
agreed
The only one I can really remember is Hiyama Nobuyuki, just for how uniquely hot-blooded he can be.
But I don't see him on the list. :(
Well Mr Link sure is lively, but this listing is based on 2010 roles. *smacks Canadane with a Goldion Crusher*
His role as hirano kouta in HOTD is yet to get into full hot blooded action.
Lol I googled that name and the Hellsing mangaka showed up. I didn't even notice the seiyuu, not that one episode of HotD was much to work with I guess.
It's a homage to the mangaka...
"6. 104 – Ayumi Fujiwara"
Shouldn't it be Fujimura, or another Ayumi?
Fujimura, I guess. Seems like you found a typo.
Yay fo Rie Kugimiya!
who is Ayumi Fujiwara? in which anime has she played?
i have thought that toyosaki aki and mizuki nana would be in the top 10 but seems not.
it's prolly a typo right there
Fujimura most recent roles were both lead roles - Misaki in Kaichou wa Maid-sama and Mafuyu in Seikon no Qwaser.
I'm surprised Toyosaki Aki isn't on the list. Then I noticed the ranking is based on "number of appearances", meaning seiyuus with plenty of bit-part roles may be ranked higher than those with fewer lead roles that might be more prominent.
Fujimura has always been awesome imo eversince she voiced Kyouka in Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (regardless how that show frequently gave me goosebumps). Her voice has a slight Kugimiya atmosphere in it :3
I may be making a mistake, but didn't she also voice Mineva Lao Zabi in Gundam Unicorn?
You are spot on! If you ask Japanese with slightest interest in anime, they say Toyosaki Aki and Mizuki Nana every time.
C`mon, it`s August 2010 already!
Hanazawa-sama~ <3 \o/
I wish You Oizumi was on there.
TO HELL WITH APPEARANCES RECORD! Everybody knows the hottest seiyuu in last 16 months: AKI TOYOSAKI!
Where is Horie Yui? :'(
I miss her too.
