I was thinking about making a list, but recently
I haven't been paying enough attention to make a decent list.

If you ask me who Sawako replaced, I couldn't tell you.
It might be Nonaka Ai or Uchida Maaya..
but I think it would be best to say there was nobody
worthy of a number 1.

[.... spends about an hour grepping the seiyuu archives ....]

I hadn't posted a "top" / "favorites" list in a long time.

My "number ones" list is way out of date too.
(this is not just seiyuu, last posted in 2001)

1979 - 1983  Ishino Mako [idol]
1983 - 1987  Koizumi Kyoko [idol]
1987 - 1993  Sakai Noriko [idol]
1993 - 1997  Inoue Kikuko [seiyuu]
1997 - 1999  Okada Junko [seiyuu]
1999 - 2003  Nagai Nobuko [seiyuu/idol]
2003 - 2004  Makiguchi Youko [cosplayer/idol]
2004 - 2006  Saaya [cosplayer/idol]
2007 - 2015  NONE
2015 - NOW   Hata Sawako [idol/seiyuu]

As for just seiyuu, my current favorites might be something like..

 1. Hata Sawako
 2. Nonaka Ai
 3. Mimori Suzuko
 4. Uchida Maaya
 5. Nomizu Iori
 6. Kitta Izumi
 7. Taketatsu Ayana
 8. Hanazawa Kana
 9. Nanjou Yoshino
10. Harada Hitomi

(I put a higher weighting on people I have actually seen.)
