None other than scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano herself has been unseated from her position as most followed seiyuu, with even her fascinating antics not enough to spare her the humiliation of being overtaken by the actor behind one of her on-screen peons.
The ranking:
1. Tomokazu Sugita – 285,516
2. Aya Hirano – 272,915
3. Yuichi Nakamura – 211,070
4. Yukari Tamura – 180,873
5. Eri Kitamura – 138,855
6. Rie Tanaka – 126,080
7. Yūki Kaji – 112,965
8. Akio Ōtsuka – 110,815
9. Marina Inoue – 108,001
10. Ayana Taketatsu – 96,682
There is some wonderment at Hirano’s loss (although she still has enough followers to populate a small if terrifying city), as well as the fact that Taketatsu only started her account at the end of November:
“Debuynan is doing so well after starting so late!”
“Is Sugita that interesting?”
“He picks fights with all kinds of people!”
“Number 4 isn’t following any other seiyuu – doesn’t she have any seiyuu chums?”
“The life-liners outnumber our SDF soldiers…”
Those looking for the executive digest of Hirano’s antics might do well to follow Sankaku Complex on Twitter.

To answer all the "where's X?" and "seiyuu X should be on this list." questions, most of the seiyuu that you mentioned don't have any twitter account.
Sakata Gintoki
Besides Gin he has voiced a certain cynical tsundere narrator protagonist that you are forgetting
oh right, Sakata Kintoki
Shin-Hokuto Musou
Motosuwa Hideki-CHOBITS
Kyon/John Smith/Clerk Sugita-Haruhi Suzumiya/Lucky Star

If you start to list all great characters Sugita Tomokazu has voiced with great success... You'll just end up with a very long list.
Ragna The BloodEdge too!
Hidenori (Danshi koukousei no nichijou)
ganbare Aya!
Hey bunch of retards, this is a TWITTER FOLLOWERS ranking, not a popularity poll.
Yeah, it would be nice if Artefact actually mentioned that at any point in the post. Doesn't even link the original source or links to the seiyuu's Twitter accounts. What a gyp.
It says "followed" in the title and "Twitter" in the tags. I think given the audience we need not be explaining what Twitter is and how its "follower" system works?
That's the same fucking thing.
not really. lots of popular seiyuu don't have twitter accounts.
That's true, but this is SPECIFICALLY for which Seiyuu are the most popular on twitter.
Sure it may be a popularity contest in spirit, but this is based on an actual quantifiable number, instead of most of the lists where it's just a swarm of opinions.
Well well, this is quite the pleasant surprise, Sugita has that many followers??
Yes indeed he does.
Why? Because he's awesome.
Even if he may not be that active in the seiyuu scene, he frequents and participates in numerous radio talk shows which, if I may add most of the time hilarious and entertaining to watch, attracts many folks.
If he's not making fun of himself while entertaining you with his antics and personality on radio, he's probably doing it with someone too.
Who does he voice? I dont follow seiyuu's much, soz.
Sir I believe you are mistaken,... not Followers,.. But rather the correct term is "Stalkers".
^_^
They tend to do that yes...
“Is Sugita that interesting?”
he almost godlike
Who were you quoting sir? Well, I guess I an agree with your point, his voice is very unique
No Kana Hanazawa? Shame on you!
Aya-nyan's working on that, but HanaKana's probably the kind of person who doesn't have a PC, let alone an Internet connection.
if she has a twitter, I would like to know
Exactly what i thought
if not too much work could you post what anime/game they are most famous from? I can barely recognise any simply by name.
Ayana Taketatsu needs to fucking die already.
Taketatsu should get raped in the ass and her entrails ripped out from her vag!
Arnold Schwartzenegger would fucking pwn Yuuki Aoi, Kana Hanazawa and all those other noob seiyuu. Fuck them all.
@09:11 You really are a sad and worthless individual.
like your ass who likes whores like fat ass Ayana Taketatsu? Yup, I guess you're right. ;3
When Ayana "Fat Slut" Taketatsu dies, no one would give a fuck. They would piss and shit on her grave.
Why the hell do you hate her so much?!
She's an amazing Seiyuu, so go troll elsewhere.
Obvious weeaboo response is obvious. Even a little baby can outdo "Fat Slut" Taketatsu at voice acting.
hahaha! I love you too.
Cripes, you're a psychopath.
Something tells me you're the same creep that follows her around. Saying she's an amazing seiyuu is like saying Hitler is a sensitive man. It's just, not right. Also, you lack evidence as to why you think this poor excuse for a seiyuu is "amazing."
Ayana Taketatsu: Future Snuff Film Super Star! :3
I wish someone got someone to rape and kill Ayana "Fat Ass Kunt" Taketatsu. And they should videotape her death for the world to see.
Ayana "Fat Ass Slut" Taketatsu needs to get raped and murdered. The whole thing should be videotaped for the world to see. And for all the sissy otaku to cry over. Fuckasses! :3
The only reason for Ayana "Fat Slut" Taketatsu to have a twatter account is for her to get stalked raped and have her fucking throat slit. And her carcass pissed on and set on fire. :3
why does aya always look sort of...cross-eyed
lolwhut kana hanazawa isnt event in there ???
even . typo
Well ,for Tomokazu Sugita it's quite obvious that those crazy Japanese female otaku (i'm not gonna use the derogatory term because i'm crazy as well) would swarm around him.
I'm a guy and i'd probably chase him down as well. LOL!
Actually, he has a lot of male fans in Japan as well.
Tired seeing comment 'where my xxxxx, not in the list' in all top list topic. Lets comment about what in the list, what you've been missing, why they're popular but you totally blur and holed up on the only anime you know and you've seen.
Btw, Sugita deserve the 1st place. You dont know him? Google please
SUGITA IS GOD! SUGITA IS GOD! SUGITA IS GOD! EVERYBODY SAY!
Yuichi Nakamura, the seiyuu of some badass male protagonist.
Eri Kitamura & Yukari Tamura, the seiyuu of most adorable loli character.
I approve those ranking.
