Trending New-Generation Anime Characters (1–10)
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
