Aya Takashima is the number one rated female announcer by alumni, but… Let’s decide who is the best female announcer of all time at Fuji Television Network!

While mature female announcers in their 30s and 40s are winning accolades, those in their 50s are still struggling.

Kikue Nishiyama, 54, combines outstanding announcing skills with a receptive personality. In terms of skill level, she is as good as Takashima, Yagi, and the other announcers. Also, unlike them, Nishiyama still continues to carry the Fuji Television billboard. She is well-liked by her juniors and has become a role model for female announcers at the station.

Ayako Kisa, 52, whose husband is former professional baseball player Kazuhisa Ishii, 50, emerged as a sports caster.

When she first joined Fuji, she worked on several variety shows, but her abilities on “Professional Baseball News” were highly regarded, and she grew to become the main anchor for “Mezamashi TV. She has handled all of Fuji’s signature programs in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and her strength lies in her all-around ability to be accepted in any time slot.

Announced the strongest female announcer of all time!

After FRIDAY interviewed more than 30 people in the TV industry and intellectuals, Takashima Anna came in first place with overwhelming support. She received high marks in all areas, including her looks, talk skills, and announcing techniques. Following Takashima was Kondo, and Yagi came in second and third.

Popular announcers have been born one after another from the Showa to the Heisei era. Among them, Fuji Television’s female announcers shined the brightest.
