There are times, like at company parties or get-togethers with friends, when you’re expected to show off a little party trick, right? When it comes to classic party tricks, doing impressions is the go-to.

Among those, impressions of anime characters really liven things up! In this article, we’ll introduce some staple anime characters for impressions.

We’ve gathered the classics that almost everyone has tried at least once, like Shinnosuke Nohara and Mickey Mouse.

If you’re not sure what to do, use the characters we introduce as a reference and give it a try!

A person who, inspired by The Apothecary Diaries, suddenly started acting like a listless type of character.

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.

Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu Kocho

The anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has become an unprecedented hit.

Whether you’re an anime fan or not, you’ve probably seen it at least once.

If you want to do a voice impression from the series—and preferably a female character—Shinobu Kocho is a great choice.

Shinobu is known for her slender appearance and gentle tone, yet it’s striking how she sometimes delivers rather scary lines.

That contrast makes it fun to perform for others.

Try listening to Saori Hayami’s voice repeatedly and master it.

Suguru Geto

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

I tried doing a Kenjiro Tsuda voice imitation tutorial!! (There’s a timetable in the comments)
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.

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.

The rabbit from Chiikawa doesn’t have any difficult lines, so it’s an easy character to try for both kids and adults.

Instead of proper words, it mostly uses sound effects like “Yaha,” “Haa,” and “Puruya,” so you can give it a go without trying too hard.

Basically, the energy level is high, so the key is to go all-out without feeling shy! You can even do it quickly during work breaks or school recess, so definitely give it a try.
