Eccentric Anime Characters (1–10)
All for One
All For One, the strongest and most nefarious villain in My Hero Academia.
Despite his polite manner of speaking, his lines drip with malice and instill fear.
When doing an impression, start by practicing with a low voice and an open throat.
Since he wears a mask for most of the series, try holding a cup or something similar to your mouth while using that practiced vocal technique—you’ll get surprisingly close! Try saying people’s full names, or famous lines like, “Everything is for me,” to really capture the impression.
Mr. Anago
Anago, the beloved supporting character from the national anime Sazae-san.
Although he isn’t part of the Isono family, he’s one of the few characters with a name related to the sea.
By the way, he’s 27 years old.
He’s a coworker of Masuo and often gives the impression of grabbing a drink after work, and his deep, rich voice is especially memorable.
He’s voiced by Nobuo Tobita.
If you’re going to do an impression of him, make sure you really grasp and master those distinctive traits!
Captain Levi
Attack on Titan drew attention for its brutal storyline of humans and Titans fighting desperately for survival.
Among its characters, one of the most popular is Levi, the Captain of the Survey Corps—so here’s how to do an impression of him! As explained in the video, it seems best to carefully identify where to relax your breath and then deliver the lines.
At the same time, try to project a haughty, prideful, almost overbearing aura—that high-handed vibe will bring you closer to the mark.
If you can pull off Captain Levi, you might just complete the set of characters voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya!
Rei Ayanami
Neon Genesis Evangelion is an anime that boasts immense popularity worldwide.
With theatrical films being produced and merchandise released, it continues to bring new developments every year.
Among the cast, perhaps the most well-known character is Rei Ayanami.
She’s a quiet, reserved heroine, and her voice actress, Megumi Hayashibara, performs her with a whisper-like manner of speaking.
Because her speech has a distinct style, it’s relatively easy to imitate and easy for others to understand.
Why not start practicing with widely known lines like, “I don’t know what kind of face I’m supposed to make”?
Bo-chan
Bo-chan, a character from the anime Crayon Shin-chan.
As his name suggests, he’s a bit spacey, and his laid-back way of speaking is adorable.
His lower pitch and slightly nasal, congested-sounding voice are memorable.
The trick to doing an impression is to add a small glottal stop at the end of words—like a tiny “tsu.” You might think, “What do you mean?” but give it a try.
You’ll sound a lot more like Bo-chan than you expect!
Goofy
How about Goofy, one of Disney’s popular characters? Since he has a lower voice, he’s recommended for men.
Practice his slow, drawling way of speaking thoroughly.
I also think it would be great to collaborate with someone who can do impressions of other characters.
Roronoa Zoro
This is an impression of Roronoa Zoro, a hugely popular character from the anime One Piece.
He’s a relatively easy character for men to impersonate.
You’ll want to pay attention to the costume details, too.
And be sure to hold a sword in your mouth for the full effect.
