## 1st Place goes to Sandwichman, who was active as an MC for New Year's specials
Coming in at 1st place in the overall ranking is Sandwichman. Although they yielded the top spot to Shohei Ohtani in the previous survey (November 2025), their ranking in attraction rate—showing a high level of public interest—rose due to their performance as MCs on New Year's special programs, bringing them back to 1st place.
Ranking 2nd is MLB Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani. Influenced by it being the MLB off-season and before the WBC, his attraction rate ranking declined. Attention is focused on what his next ranking will be after the MLB opening.
In 3rd place is Matsuko Deluxe. Moving up from 8th place previously. Having been hospitalized for cervical spinal cord surgery in early February and temporarily taking a break from regular programs, many people were concerned about future developments, which is believed to have led to an increase in attraction rate.
