Eccentric Anime Characters (11–20)
Maruo-kun
How about doing an impression of Maruo-kun from the nationally beloved anime Chibi Maruko-chan? The anime is so famous that just about everyone knows it, and the character’s traits are easy to grasp, making it a perfect choice.
Even if you’re not great at impressions, adjusting your voice a bit will make it clear you’re doing Maruo-kun, so it’s recommended for beginners.
Trending New-Generation Anime Characters (1–10)
Ai Hoshino
The anime Oshi no Ko has become a social phenomenon, teaming up with various companies.
One of its main characters, Ai Hoshino, is also highly recommended.
She’s portrayed as a 16-year-old idol, and voice actress Rie Takahashi gives her a cute impression.
Her speech is characterized by expressive intonation, so keep that in mind.
Also, she’s widely known for her signature pose, which you can use to make up for any shortcomings in accuracy.
Satoru Gojo
Are you watching the smash-hit anime Jujutsu Kaisen? I recommend trying an impression of Satoru Gojo, one of the series’ most popular characters.
He’s voiced by Yuichi Nakamura and speaks in a cool, suave manner.
Keep that in mind as you practice.
His distinctive look—like his silver hair—also makes it great to pair with cosplay when you show it off.
By the way, one of his signature lines is, “Because I’m the strongest.”
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.
