For example, voice actress Kaneda Tomoko revealed that she gets paid approximately 30,000 yen (about $295) for one anime episode. You would think that Kaneda would at least be “A” Rank because she has been in the seiyuu business for 14 years, but she isn’t.

Who are the A ranks and above? Besides Nozawa and some of the veterans. Are current popular VAs like Inorin or Ayaneru considered A even when they really popular they haven't been in the VA scene for that long. Maybe they are B and HanaKana could be A I guess.
