There is a reason for LEOPARD being used as the cover image, which shall be revealed at the end of the post.

First of all thanks to ANN for this piece of news. Now we all know the annual seiyuu awards are actually a rigged fantastically planned and very much imbalanced fair event, so some of the winners should come as no surprise. j1m0ne has naturally posted up something about it. Anyway here is my take on the seiyuu that won that I do know about in some way. By the way these are the confirmed results, but we have no idea yet what shows they won for, though I heard it might be thanks to Macross Frontier.

Best Lead Actor – Kamiya Hiroshi

Currently most well-known for being Natsume Takashi of Natsume Yuujinchou series, I would admit he has done quite a good job in the GayYuujinchou series, but otherwise little else is known about his working ability. I also do not believe that he got the award just because of Natsume GayYuujinchou, so a further assessment by others who are more familiar with his work will have to make up for my lack of knowledge.
 

Best Lead Actress – Kugimiya Rie

GTFO

Alright in some fairness, Kugimiya did do some roles that people were surprised about, for example different from her usual loli roles. But otherwise, I felt she hardly deserved it. There are many others who are better.

Best Supporting Actor – Inoue Kazuhiko

NYANKO-SENSEI IS GOOD AWESOME

Anyone who denies his position as a winner in this category should be shot forced to watch Natsume Yuujinchou. Seriously, his Nyanko-sensei role is really very well done.
 

Best Supporting Actress – Endou Aya & Sawashiro Miyuki

Ok, I can agree with both. Endou has supported in both Sekirei (Matsu) and Blassreiter (Mei Feng) last year (probably other shows too) and is currently a main in Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo (Kannagi Itsuki). Seeing her various roles and voices, I suppose that there is at least some degree of evidence that she does at least have the ability to be in this spot. I heard about Sawashiro Miyuki mainly from Hashihime, so most of the knowledge about her is largely third-party, but I did see her work in Yozakura Quartet (Kotoha) and Natsume Yuujinchou series (as Sasada Jun), with a previous work as Kamishiro Kana in Kishin Taisen Gigantic Formula. If she does not deserve it to at least some degree, who does? There are quite a few other candidates, but can they compare so far with her works?
 

Best New Actress Awards – Asumi Kana & Tomatsu Haruka

For Tomatsu, this is just serious fandom. Yes, I have seen her works, especially recent ones, but she gives me no perception as to be up there among the better ones as a winner in this category. But then again, relatively, I know few who are actually new, in fact I always find out about them after they shot their way to stardom and get some main roles, so who am I to compare? Asumi Kana however, at least I know a bit of. Whether or not she deserves the position is another matter, but she was Sahashi Yukari in Sekirei and an opposing role in Bokurano as Ushiro Kana.

And finally, for the best winner of the day, which I am sure everyone who has watched both Code Geass and Sorakake agree with.
 

Best Personality – Fukuyama Jun

HE MAY BE A GAYASS TO ME, BUT EVEN I FULLY AGREE, IN GEASS AND SORAKAKE, AS LELOUCH AND LEOPARD, HE HAS THE BEST PERSONALITY! CONGRATULATIONS LEOPARD!
