Ichiro Mizuki’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

He is known as the Emperor of anime songs and is affectionately called “Aniki.” The nickname “Aniki” is said to come from his time as the second “Uta no Onii-san” (lead male singer) on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.

Many people likely grew up listening to anime songs sung by Mizuki during their childhood.

We’ve compiled a ranking of such popular tracks.

Ichirou Mizuki’s Popular Song Rankings [2026] (11–20)

Kamen Rider X Opening Theme 'Set Up! Kamen Rider X' / Ichiro Mizuki
Set up! Kamen Rider XMizuki Ichirō

This is the theme song of Kamen Rider X, which aired in 1974.

The lyrics describe the features of Kamen Rider X.

With its fiery melody, recurring horn interjections, and strings weaving through the gaps, it’s a masterpiece that builds excitement whether you like it or not.

Tiger Mask IIMizuki Ichirō16rank/position

It’s the theme song from the anime Tiger Mask II.

This isn’t a sequel to the anime version of Tiger Mask, but rather a sequel to the manga version, so it’s set up so that the original Tiger Mask, Naoto Date, is dead.

Because of that, you could say the second Tiger Mask comes as a kind of revenge in place of the original.

For people who aren’t confident singers, many Showa-era anime and tokusatsu songs make great karaoke picks.

They often meet all the criteria for easy singing—clear melodies, straightforward rhythms, and easy-to-remember lyrics—so they’re highly recommended.

This song, “Mazinger Z,” is no exception—in fact, it’s practically the quintessential Showa anime song.

It’s a tune anyone can sing and enjoy.

Give it your all and deliver a passionate performance that rivals the original!

Five people as oneMizuki Ichirō18rank/position

It’s the ending theme of the robot anime Beast King GoLion.

The five members who pilot GoLion were all men at first, but in the ending sequence, for some reason, Princess Fala—a character who wasn’t initially a pilot—is shown riding one of the machines.

It’s basically a spoiler, yet they boldly showed it from episode 1.

Sure enough, one of the male pilots ends up being killed in action in a rather abrupt scene around episode 7, and Princess Fala takes his place.

Song of Kamen Rider StrongerMizuki Ichirō19rank/position

This is the theme song of Kamen Rider Stronger, broadcast in 1975.

Ichiro Mizuki’s powerful vocals match the aura of Stronger, a warrior proclaimed to be the strongest.

It’s a well-known anecdote that although a different theme song was considered at first, it was changed to this more striking piece.

A great song I can recommend to men working hard and feeling lonely as they job hunt on their own, sung by “Aniki,” Ichirou Mizuki.

It’s the theme song of the 1977 tokusatsu hero drama Kaiketsu Zubat.

The show itself is a masterpiece, so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out.
