The 9th Most Desired Male Faces Ranking (Oricon)

This is an annual survey conducted by Oricon on 500 men from their teens to 50s where they select the male celebrities who they feel have the faces that they desire to have. Fukuyama Masaharu who had won the No.1 title for 5 years in a row, entered the hall of fame in 2013 so is no longer included in this ranking. Past winners of the title include Mukai Osamu, Kimura Takuya and Dean Fujioka.

Numbers in brackets indicate the position held by the celebrity in the previous year's ranking. If the person had not been part of the top 10, a dash is indicated instead.

Takeuchi Ryoma was the clear favourite among the teens and those in their 20s and perhaps more surprisingly, those in their 50s. On the other hand, Takenouchi Yutaka was the top choice for men in their 30s and 40s:


1) Takeuchi Ryoma (-)

2) Takenouchi Yutaka (2)

3) Dean Fujioka (1)

4) Tsumabuki Satoshi (6)

5) Takahashi Issei (1)

6) Kimura Takuya (5)

7) Sakaguchi Kentaro (-)

8) Fukushi Souta (-)

9) Sato Takeru (3)

10) Tamaki Hiroshi (8)
