The smoke has cleared and the dust has settled and finally, the winners for the 8th Annual Seiyu Awards have been chosen. The winners of the special awards like the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Synergy Award were announced last February 2014 and now, the main winners have finally been chosen.

Kaji is known for voicing High School DXD’s Issei Hyoudou, Magi’s Alibaba Saluja, Accel World’s Haruyuki Arita/ Silver Crow and Guilty Crown’s Shu Ouma. But perhaps his most notable role from the past year would be voicing Attack on Titan’s Eren Yaeger.
Rina Satou is known for voicing Hyperdimension Neptunia’s Vert, Mahou Sensei Negima’s Negi Springfield, Minami-ke’s Haruka Minami, and Blue Exorcist’s Shura. Perhaps her most endearing role would be voicing A Certain Scientific Railgun S’s electrifying main character, Misaka Mikoto.
