Inoue, Yama-chan top Yoshimoto rankings for 3rd time

Monthly Yoshimoto, a magazine published by Yoshimoto Kogyo, revealed the results of its “otokomae” (handsome) and “busaiku” (ugly) rankings for 2008. Close to 23,000 readers submitted votes for the rankings.

Jicho Kacho’s Satoshi Inoue topped the otokomae list, followed by Kazuhiro Fujiwara of License (now known as The Charanporan) and Akira Kawashima of Kirin.

On the busaiku list, the “winner” was Nankai Candies’ Ryota Yamasato, also known as Yama-chan. Hiroyuki Yashiro (Karika) was #2, and Takashi Yoshida (Black Mayonnaise) was #3.

This is the third year in a row that Inoue and Yamasato have been #1, which puts them both in the “hall of fame,” making them ineligible for future rankings.
