According to Oricon, spring is the season for celebrities to greatly develop their careers. So who will get a big break this year? Oricon conducted an online survey of 1,000 people to see which stars are expected to flourish. Because the age of 20 is said to be a turning point, Oricon limited its research to celebrities who are currently 20 years old.

Model and singer Leah Dizon came out on top by a large margin. Among male respondents, she was easily the favorite answer, but even among women, Dizon found plenty of support.

Mao Inoue took second place. She was the #1 answer among females, but males ranked her tied for third.

In third place was actress Erika Sawajiri, who was also ranked third by both men and women. Juri Ueno was #4, and Satomi Ishihara was #6.

The remaining five in the top ten were athletes, four of them male. Nippon Ham pitcher Yu Darvish was ranked #5, while Keisuke Honda, a midfielder for the Nagoya Grampus Eight, was voted 7th. Honda was followed in order by boxer Koki Kameda, figure skater Nobunari Oda, and golfer Shinobu Moromizato.
