Notes
Beyond the main cast, the first tally is dotted with playful joke entries, as inanimate objects and background gags such as Sakamoto's slippers, a toy knife, the JCC's food bowl, and even a bus hijacker each collected votes. Because it counts by daily ballots rather than unique voters, the poll reflects sustained fan enthusiasm as much as raw headcount.
