Hikari Midorikawa





The man has a sexy voice, that's for sure. When someone over the age of 40 can still do bijinn voices, you know he has it in him! Midorikawa may not be a seiyuu of our current generation, but he has done some of the most memorable characters in video gaming history...for me at least. If you've seen "Tales Of" festival every year, you know that his Leon (Tales Of Destiny) is greatly loved by fans, and I agree with them. Other than that, he can do his share of rough edged characters, like Akihiko (Persona 3) and Frantz (Rusty Hearts). Bedman (Guilty Gear Xrd) is someone of a soft spoken maniac, and he can do his share of hero type characters like Lancer (Fate/Zero) or Firion (Dissidia:Final Fantasy).

Nobuyuki Hiyama





This guy is a freaking beast, there's no doubt about it. Nobuyuki is known for his epic hero voices, but to me, he's a jack of all trades. Whether or not you need a calm, laid back, badass person like Balmung (.Hack), Veigue (Tales Of Rebirth) or Haken (Super Robot Taisen OG Endless Frontier), or a hot blooded heroic fighter like Ikkaku (Bleach), or Batsu (Rival Schools), he's got it covered. He might even surprise you occasionally with characters like Demitri (Darkstalkers) or Sanageyama (Kill la Kill)! But if you want his signature, hot blooded, shouting affair, he'll go all out with characters like Hirano (High School Of The Dead), Zaimokuza (My Teenage Romantic Comedy SNAFU) or the fabulous Axel (Disgaea series). If you need epic screaming, Hiyama is your man.

Ayako Kawasumi




Here's another girl who's got the sexy of the sexy in terms of the characters that she voices. JUST, LOOK AT THEM! When it comes to voicing refined, sexy, and elegant ladies, Ayako Kawasumi has got them covered...might as well call her ojou-sama while we're at it, really. Let's see, how can we forget the beauty that is Henrietta (Zero No Tsukaima), or the ditzy, sexy, yet radiant Laura (To Aru Majutsu No Index)? Even Athena (Hayate No Gotoku Cuties), who's considered a shadow of her former self, speaks with a very refined accent, and of course, Otsuu (Okami San And Her Seven Companions) and Rita (The Pet Girl Of Sakurasou) are magnificent in their own ways of the ojou-sama. Kazumi (Shakugan No Shana) is the closest we have to a normal school girl. Also, there's her stern, hero-esque voices in Saber (Fate series) and Izumi (Kyokai No Kanata).

Tetsuya Kakihara




NII SAMA is the first thing that comes to mind with Tetsuya Kakihara, because of his excellent voice of Jin Kisaragi in "Blazblue". However, he's more than that, Tetsuya Kakihara is as much of a pretty boy you can get, with just his voice alone...he looks extremely fabulous in real life too. His characters are...really blonde, just look at Rudy (Log Horizon), Fujioka (Minami-Ke series), Prompto (Final Fantasy XV) and Jin (Blazblue). Most of them are pretty boys, Rudy is a hero type, very much like Natsu (Fairy Tail) and Shing (Tales Of Hearts), Fujioka is very, very normal, kind of like Morishige (Corpse Party) until he goes bat shit insane. Jin is....weird, he's sadistic as hell and quite caring at the same time. Let's see, Kiriko (Sunday Without God) is his version of an overprotective person, which was rather interesting to see.

Megumi Toyoguchi




You gotta love her insane diversity, because these characters don't have that much in common. She can sound cute, sexy, mature...or anything that she wants to. Let's start off with Hikari (Pokemon), she sounds pretty cute here, as a little girl should. Then she has her damsel in despair voice, Meg (Burst Angel), and to some extent, Yukari (Persona 3) as well, though with Yukari, she shows that she can do a high school girl's voice just fine. Then we have the likes of Miranda (D.grayman) and Rosie (Valkyria Chronicles), who serve as big sister stereotypes. Chifuyu (Infinite Stratos) and Chihiro (The Pet Girl Of Sakurasou) are the mature types, Haruko (Senran Kagura) fits here somewhat as well, though she has a little tint of a villainous aura in there. Aqua (Kingdom Hearts:Birth By Sleep) is a little bit of a hero type, her only one here. Junko (Danganraonpa) is the absolute best, a legend of a character, if I might add, because she's a mixture of many personalities in one.

3rd row: Miranda (D.grayman), Meg (Burst Angel), Rosie (Valkyria Chronicles), Aqua (Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep)



Yukana




Yukana is pretty well versed in the ways of the ojou sama as well, because of her characters having a very refined style of speech. She can go really high and be cute as hell if she wants, or she can sound really menacing with the right tone. Let's start off with Cecilia (Infinite Stratos) and Kaguya (Super Robot Taisen OG Endless Frontier), they have her cute voice, the voice generally given to kawai heroines. Then we have the more matured characters with CC (Code Geass series) and Tear (Tales Of The Abyss), these characters sound sexy enough. Then we have the girls that just want to have fun, while acting like a big sister at the same time, Eriko (Dragon Crisis) and Fujiko (Zettai Karen Children series). Finally, we have the girls that sound a bit more menacing, Shoko (Unbreakable Machine Doll) and the deadly Imperator Saya (Blazblue series)

Peace.
