Trending New-Generation Anime Characters (1–10)
cats
If you can do an impression of Maomao, the protagonist of the hugely popular The Apothecary Diaries (both the anime and the original work), it’s sure to be a hit! The key is not to put too much emotion into it and to project a sense of apathy.
Then, for her inner monologue, let the emotions explode all at once—or just make her mouth really foul.
Even just using familiar lines like “This is poison,” or hissing like a cat—“Shaa”—will convey that Maomao vibe! The fact that apathy means you don’t have to overact makes it easier to pull off.
Suguru Geto
Suguru Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen is a character well-suited for impressions, known for his calm delivery and profound philosophy.
Once a classmate at Jujutsu High, he transformed—guided by conviction—into someone who questions the nature of humanity.
Lines like “I will create a world for sorcerers only” and “Non-sorcerers are monkeys” leave a strong impression, as a firm will and quiet madness seep through his matter-of-fact tone.
He rarely shouts, instead speaking in a consistently composed voice.
For that reason, he’s popular for voice impressions that express restrained emotion with inner strength.
For those skilled at toned-down performances, he’s a rewarding character to tackle.
Kento Nanami
The popular character Kento Nanami from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen is great too, isn’t he? Kento Nanami is portrayed as a somewhat older character, and he’s played by Kenjiro Tsuda.
His dandy, deep, resonant voice is striking, so try to keep that in mind.
Since it’s quite a low voice, it might take some technique to imitate.
There are videos that teach how to mimic Kenjiro Tsuda’s voice, so I recommend watching them.
You can probably apply the same approach to impressions of his other roles as well.
Zenitsu Agatsuma
Zenitsu Agatsuma from the hugely popular anime Demon Slayer is a character whose appeal lies in his pitiful, cowardly demeanor.
His desperate crying and attempts to flee from hardship leave a strong impression, and I think many people associate him with a tearful voice.
Another major draw is his dual nature: when he faints, he unleashes powerful combat abilities.
In these so-called awakening scenes, he speaks in a calm voice and coolly steps into battle.
The key is conveying this contrast between his pathetic side and his cool side through differences in vocal tone.
Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti
Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti, a character from Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, has many memorable lines like “It’s sloth, desu ne” and “My brain… trembles.” If you can capture his voice, he might be a relatively easy character to imitate.
Since he’s unsettling, the key is to avoid speaking too clearly—keep your voice low and slightly indistinct.
It also helps to use the tone you make when you yawn and to tuck your chin in.
Try practicing while watching the anime!
Ryomen Sukuna
A character drawing attention in the new wave of anime voice impressions is Ryomen Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen, known for his overwhelming presence.
His low, resonant voice and madness-tinged delivery are distinctive, and lines like “Know your place, fool,” and “Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine” pack a punch even on their own.
Because the tone of his speech is so strong, you can capture the vibe without being perfect, which is part of the appeal.
It’s easy for anime fans to have fun with as a meme and works great as a quick party trick.
From beginners to advanced impressionists, he’s rapidly gaining popularity as a character worth taking on.
Hanako-kun
Hanako-kun from “Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun” is a uniquely charming character who blends cuteness with eeriness, and he’s popular among voice impression fans.
His basic tone is bright and light, but the occasional low, deadpan delivery is perfectly timed—the contrast between the breezy “Heeey! I’m Hanako from the toilet~” and a serious line like “I’ll protect your future” is his biggest appeal.
His vocal range isn’t too high or too low, making him easy for anyone, regardless of gender, to imitate.
With expressive reactions and wide emotional swings, focusing on quick shifts in emotion will greatly improve the performance.
He’s a fun character to play, where you can balance both cuteness and creepiness.
