Even I must admit that I'm a bit surprised to see Airi among such elite company (pretty much all of the others are very famous models, singers, and idols), but I'm so happy for her. Japan loves Airi too <3

Also Horikita Maki is awesome



Most Hated

01 – 612 votes – Sawajiri Erika
02 – 189 votes – Saeko
03 – 166 votes – Komukai Minako
04 – 145 votes – Ueno Juri
05 – 142 votes – Becky
06 – 113 votes – Okamoto Mari
07 – 92 votes – Itano Tomomi (AKB48)
08 – 90 votes – Ueto Aya
09 – 82 votes – Ogura Yuko
10 – 77 votes – Toda Erika
11 – 72 votes – Yoshitaka Yuriko
12 – 61 votes – Hoshino Aki
13 – 53 votes – Kinoshita Yukina
14 – 45 votes – Michishige Sayumi (Morning Musume)
15 – 41 votes – Hirosue Ryoko

This list is pretty funny. aramathedidnt mentions this is the third year in a row has Sawajiri has won this category. Japan really seems to hate her after her many scandals.

It's also funny to see Tomomi as the 4th most loved and 7th most hated. Sounds like some people are jealous

Toda Erika? My favorite actress <3

And of course, then there's Sayu at number 14. No surprise this time. She does have a "poison-tongue" character and has made multiple appearances on high profile shows (London Hearts, Downtown DX, etc) after all.
