Ryota Ohsaka
This guy is pretty new to the industry, apparently, and he's been on a roll, I'll tell you that. In such a short span of time he has voiced so many characters, most of them being protagonists too. He has a pretty standard bishonen voice, but as usual like many other seiyuus, he can put different variations to them. His very typical main character voice goes to characters like Kido Eita (Oreshura), Akito (OniAi), the older Jun (Rozen Maiden (2013)) and of course, Haruto (Valvrave). Then he can sound badass like Vali (Highschool DxD New) and Staz (Blood lad). Maou (Hataraku Maou Sama) takes the cake here for being my favorite character on his list though, as it shows us a little bit of a mixture of his comedic side and his badass side when he goes demon mode.

Iori Nomizu
She hasn't been doing a lot of voices until recently, I guess she got the recognition she deserved. Her voice range is actually quite versatile, though she tends to excel at doing the very cutesy characters. I think she belongs there, and while she has the voices of some sexy girls under her belt, she doesn't sound too seductive or sexy when the need arises...though I think she'll fix this in due time. Like I say she excels at cutesy characters, say hello to Yoshino (Date A Live), Haruna (Kore wa Zombie Desuka), Febri (To Ar Kagaku No Railgun S) and Funko (Upotte), these characters were done magnificently. Rinko (Omamori Himari) is your very standard childhood friend voice, while Fuyumi (Blood Lad) is a very shy and sexy female. Kuro Usagi (Mondaiji) is a very cocky, sexy bunny, while Minatsuki (Deadman Wonderland) is just a complete sadistic mess (which I f**king love).

Rie Tanaka
HOLY SHIT! Rie Tanaka is pretty awesome, and that's really an understatement. She has probably the most Onee-San esque sadistic voice in the anime industry. All of her characters have something in common, they all sound VERY mature and sexy (except non-Purple Heart Neptune). Though, even though they all sound that way, the personalities behind them are rather different. Neptune (Hyperdimension Neptunia) is probably the only exception, and its the first time I've hear Rie Tanaka do such a cutesy, regular girl voice, though she does retain her mature undertone when she transform into Purple Heart. Mission driven girls like Mitsuru (Persona 3), Octavia (Tears to Tiara) and Sei (Bakuretsu Tenshi) fit her well. She can do "big sister" roles well enough too, with Maria (Hayate No Gotoku), Shuri (Asura Cryin) and Mina (Strike Witches). Morrigan (Darkstalkers) is f**king awesome, and her villain voices, Suigintou (Rozen Maiden) and Mio (To Aru Kagaku No Railgun) are just FABULOUS!

Akira Ishida
Here we go guys, how do you feel about this shit?! Akira Ishida is 46 years old now....and look at the characters he voices. What can I say about this? He is a 46 year old bishonen, there's no way around it. Like many seiyuus with a bishonen voice, its easy to tell that its him, his characters all have his similar signature voice tint that you can differentiate. You want to talk easy going main characters? He's got that covered! Reid (Tales Of Eternia) is the KING of easygoing RPG protagonists, and Kagari (Psycho-Pass) is pretty easygoing as well. Need cold, moody guys? Togami (Danganronpa) and Gaara (Naruto) pretty much fit into this category, and I guess Makoto (Persona 3) does as well. Villains? Come on dude. Nagi (Mai Hime), Ryunosuke (Fate/Zero) and Kuja (Dissidia:Final Fantasy) say hi. Akise Aru (Mirai Nikki) is kind of a yaoi guy, and who can forget Athrun Zala (Gundum Seed Destiny)?

Aya Endo
I LOOOOVEEE seiyuus that can do their share of sexy girl voices, and Aya Endo falls into that category very well. She's another one of those seiyuus that I feel need more recognition, because she has a MAGNIFICENT voice, fit for any of them sexy bitches out there. Riela (Valkyria Chronicles 3) and Lisara (So I Can't Play H?) are like 2 peas in a pod, they are affectionate girls that attempt to hide their "dere-ness" in front of their main hero. Matsu (Sekirei) is her take on an easy-going girl, and Arisa (Guilty Crown) is more of her trying to be a mature character with a very weak mindset. Cruz (Needless) shows that she can do a young boy no problem, and Reine (Date A Live) is just a very sexy, lazy woman who lacks sleep. Engi (Yumekui Merry) is her trying to be a "manly" woman, with a sword and all.

Misato Fukuen
Yo she rocks the house with her many variety of characters! She can do so many different voices, you won't even know its her sometimes. Her versatility is probably her strong point, because she does so many types of voices, its hard to tell what she really excels at. She is no stranger to cheerful girls, she has done voices for Sakura (Street Fighter 4), Reimi (Star Ocean 4), Maika (To Aru Majutsu No Index) and Yoshika (Strike Witches). Then we have the seductive girls the form of Kurumu (Rosario to Vampire) and to some sense, Rika (Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai). Her take on kuuderes is also pretty impressive, with girls like Yin (Darker Than Black), the Mage (Maoyu) and Yami (To Love Ru) to back it up. Special shout out to the mage though, she's kind of like many personalities in one.
Characters from left to right
1st row: Reimi (Star Ocean 4), Kurumu (Rosario + Vampire), Yami (To Love Ru), Mage (Maoyu), Yoshika (Strike Witches)
2nd row: Sakura (Street Fighter IV), Rika (Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai), Maika (To Aru Majutsu No Index), Yin (Darker Than Black)
Peace.
