<upd_detl>Alt. spellings なり手、成り手 and 成手 (potentially confusing), 為手 (ambiguous with 仕手（して）).</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Google hits:
なり手 588k
成り手 102k  -.76 OoM
為り手  13k  -.9  OoM (overall -1.66 OoM)

Different dics give 成り／為り and 新解さん gives 為手, but that’s ambiguous and more often spelling for 仕手（して） so I’ve marked as [iK].

Can’t judge popularities of 成手 (mostly appears in unrelated compounds) or 為手 (since used for other word); they’re potentially confusing so I’ve placed them at the end.</upd_refs>
