The 20th Seiyu Awards, which honors the most active voice actors of the year, was held on March 15th at the Bunka Broadcasting Media Plus Hall (Minato-ku, Tokyo), and Mayumi Tanaka was selected for the Best Supporting Voice Actress award. Tanaka was recognized for her role as Turbo Babaa in "Dandadan," and expressed her delight, saying, "I'm so happy to be able to play roles that are just the right amount of challenging." She continued, "I may not live as long as Mako-san (Masako Nozawa), but I'll do my best for another 10 years or so! Thank you so much for today."
The Seiyu Awards, established in 2006, are co-sponsored by KADOKAWA, Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, and Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions. Aside from MVS (Most Valuable Seiyu, the most outstanding voice actor as chosen by fans), the awards are selected by the Executive Committee and the Selection Committee. The 20th awards will cover works and voice actors that were broadcast, streamed, or announced between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary, Romi Park, who won the Best Actress Award at the first awards ceremony, and Aya Hirano, who won the Best New Actress Award at the first ceremony, served as ambassadors.
