Eccentric Anime Characters (1–10)
My Melody
My Melody is one of Sanrio’s most popular characters, on par with Hello Kitty.
Her relaxed, uniquely slurred way of speaking and mysterious choice of words are quite striking.
It might be easiest to start by creating a gentle atmosphere with words that encourage those around her and give them energy.
She’s also known for hurling words that pierce the heart with 100% pure goodwill, so be sure to keep these famous lines in mind.
Even just mimicking her quotes with a soft tone can leave a powerful impression.
Sougo Okita
The popular Gintama series was even adapted into a live-action film.
How about trying an impression of one of its characters, Sougo Okita, the captain of the First Division of the Shinsengumi? Before imitating his voice, start with his way of speaking.
Okita usually talks in a languid Edo-style manner, so begin by getting used to those expressions.
As for voice quality, it’s a cool, low male voice.
Aim for that depth, but be careful not to make it too gravelly.
If you can nail Okita, you should also be able to imitate characters like Iguro from Demon Slayer or Mikoshiba from Free!.
Eccentric Anime Characters (11–20)
Olaf
I recommend doing an impression of Olaf, the popular character from Disney’s Frozen! It’s important to aim for a slightly high pitch while keeping a soft tone that conveys his cheerful personality.
His comedic way of speaking is also a key trait—try lengthening sentence endings and stretching the vowel sounds at the end of words.
There are lots of memorable lines, like his laugh, “Hee-hee!” and “Hi, I’m Olaf! I like warm hugs.”
Wamuu
How about trying the role of Wamuu, a villain from the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series, which has also been adapted into games and anime and has a lot of hardcore fans? If you can imitate this voice, you’ll also be able to do Moomin Papa and Black Jack.
Kaiji
The hugely popular series Kaiji is great for doing impressions of the protagonist Kaiji in both the anime and live-action movie versions! In particular, Tatsuya Fujiwara’s voice in the movies is very distinctive and often used as material for impressions, so it’s sure to be a hit! To capture the movie-version Kaiji vibe, a key point is to shout as if adding a guttural emphasis to the syllables—just focusing on that can really get you close to the feel.
Also, it’s recommended because there are lots of famous lines like “Kuyashii!!” (“How frustrating!!”) and “Kinkin ni hiete yagaru!!” (“It’s freezing cold!!”).
Tarao Fuguta
Regardless of gender, a character that’s easy for anyone to imitate is Tara-chan from Sazae-san.
Use a high, cutesy, childlike voice and say “It is ___,” and you’re almost there! Unlike Katsu-o’s famous line “That’s not fair, Sis,” Tara-chan doesn’t have a signature quote, but if you slightly draw out the ends of your words, anything you say will sound like Tara-chan.
It’s also fun to have him say lines he’d never normally say, with a bit of bite, like “The loan interest rates went up and life is tough,” or “I’ll make sure that manager never sets foot in the office again, it is.”
Kaito Kid
Kaito Kid, the suave and wildly popular character from Detective Conan and Magic Kaito.
To deliver those cool lines you’d never say in everyday life, the key is to throw away your shyness.
Try imitating Ken Shimura’s voice, or use more breath when you speak the lines—both will help you get closer.
Go all in and say them with the confidence that you’re the coolest person around! Try using famous lines like “Ladies and gentlemen!” or “Let’s meet under the pale light of the moon.”
