Anya
Among the popular anime SPY×FAMILY, Anya is especially beloved, isn’t she? Her charm lies in how she expresses her thoughts and feelings straightforwardly with her halting way of speaking.
When she refers to Loid as “chichi” and Yor as “haha,” those are signature phrases to remember.
It’s important to capture the key points of her innocent, wholehearted reactions to things she sees for the first time and the way she enjoys everyday life.
Keeping that in mind is essential for doing a cute impression of her.

Serpo alien
Serpo, a slightly creepy character appearing in Dandadan.
In the anime, he’s voiced by Kazuya Nakai, who has appeared in numerous popular works.
When doing an impression, the key is to really lean into the creepiness and grossness.
Doing it with a half-smirk might be the best approach! Even a harmless line like “Please give me a banana” becomes terrifying to anyone who’s seen the series, so try startling those around you with it!
Muneshirō Hoshina
Soshiro Hoshina, the character with a memorable Kansai dialect who appears in Kaiju No.
8, is so popular he even ranked first in character popularity polls.
In the anime, he’s voiced by Kengo Kawanishi, who has appeared in many hit series.
Try impersonating him by aiming for a breezy, nonchalant vibe with a light touch.
Going slightly higher-pitched, lighter, and with more breath might work well.
He’s also known for being quick to laugh, so when you laugh, really go for it.
It’s good to create a contrast with his usual casual conversation so that the difference stands out.
Draluc
The romance manga from Weekly Shonen Champion that got an anime adaptation, The Vampire Dies in No Time.
How about its protagonist, the vampire Draluc? Perhaps because he’s a vampire over 200 years old, his speech has an air of aristocracy, like he’s putting on a refined act—that’s the impression he gives.
A tip to get closer is to project your voice a bit deeper than your usual speaking voice.
If you can mimic Draluc—in other words, imitate his voice actor Jun Fukuyama—you can also pull off Lelouch from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and Ichimatsu Matsuno from Mr.
Osomatsu!
Frieren
https://www.tiktok.com/@wheat_13/video/7284519862645427458Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has been airing since 2023, and its original manga is also known for winning the Manga Award 2021.
How about trying to imitate the protagonist, Frieren? Although Frieren looks like a young girl, she’s actually very old.
That’s why she speaks in a calm, composed manner.
Also, her voice actress, Atsumi Tanezaki, slightly trembles her voice in certain scenes.
You can use that as a reference, too.
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.
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.
