[Seiyuu] 10th Seiyuu Awards Results

The presentation for the 10th Seiyuu awards was today and boy was it exciting. With live streaming of the event for the first time, the whole of twitter was buzzing with each announcement.

With the expected, like Kamiya Hiroshi winning his 5th most voted(aka most popular) award and the unexpected, having Kenichi Suzumura winning both the Best Personality and Best Male Supporting or having loveable genius newbie Seiyuu, Inori Minase winning the Best Actress.

Proud to mention that we have the honor of having hosted the BEST in the industry at Anime Festival Asia, with Best Actress – Inori Minase attending AFATH15 and Best Actor – Matsuoka Yoshitsugu attending in 2014. Enough with the commentary, other than for the winners of the previously announced winners, find out below the winners of the 10th Seiyu awards,
