2025's Top 10 ranking of male celebrities who you want as a boyfriend (Oricon)

Oricon conducted its annual Valentine's Day survey on 500 female respondents in their teens to 50s between 9 January and 20 January 2025 where they selected the male celebrity who they wished to have as their boyfriend. 

Some observations from this ranking:

• This is the first time that Matsushita Kouhei grabbed the No.1 spot in this ranking. He was No.2 last year.
• This year marks the first time that Meguro Ren entered the top 3 in this ranking. He was No.4 last year.
• Takenouchi Yutaka is the oldest celebrity (54 years old) in this ranking for this year and last year.
• Meguro Ren is the youngest celebrity (27 years old) in this year's ranking. He will turn 28 in 2 days' time.
• Nakamura Tomoya is the only married celebrity in this year's top 10 ranking.
• Yamada Ryosuke and Matsumura Hokuto are tied at No.4 this year.
• Yamada Ryosuke, Matsumura Hokuto, Yokohama Ryuusei, Nakamura Tomoya & Sato Takeru were outside of the top 10 last year.
• Last year's No.1 Ohtani Shohei is not in this year's top 10 probably because he announced his marriage in Feb 2024 and the survey was done in Jan 2024.
• Similarly, Yamada Yuuki who was No.5 last year, did not make it to this year's ranking. He announced his marriage to Nishino Nanase in Mar 2024.
• Yoshizawa Ryo who was No.7 last year, did not make it to this year's top 10. His drunk-trespassing incident late last year probably had a part to play in this.
• Michieda Shunsuke and Nagase Ren who were in last year's ranking, did not appear in this year's top 10 list.
