Easy-to-Imitate Comedian Impressions: Crowd-Pleasing Party/Performance Ideas (21–30)
Bike Kawasaki Bike
These days, Bike Kawasaki Bike (BKB) is active as a novelist and YouTuber as well.
The T-shirts he always wears are sold online, so if you want to do an impression of him, get one first.
Add a pair of black sunglasses and you’ll be fully in the BKB mood.
For material, just come up with short lines whose initials spell BKB, and make jokes teasing your classmates, coworkers, or even your boss.
His signature line is “Abbreviated, BKB—Hiiii-ya!” After speaking, he sometimes adds “XX bun-bun,” so feel free to use that as a reference.
Yes! Akito
Yes! Akito is known for his style of firing off one-shot gags like a machine gun.
He always makes it far in competitions like Uta Neta-O, the R-1 Grand Prix, and the Tsugikuru Comedian Grand Prix, only to fall just short.
Personally, he’s one of the comedians I really want to see get even bigger.
Clench your fist, shout “Yeeees!” as a bridge, and keep unleashing side-splitting gags in rapid succession—you too can become Akito! He’s got lots of short, easy-to-copy gags, so practice while watching video sites.
It’s also effective to slip in jokes tailored to your coworkers or boss at key moments.
Hollywood Zakoshisyoh
Comedians like Yoshio Kojima and Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura, who appear on TV practically naked, have become so familiar that they seem normal now—but if you think about it calmly, it’s a bit strange, isn’t it? I wonder what people from other countries think when they see it.
Hollywood Zakoshisho is another one of those “naked” performers.
He’s famous for his “over-exaggerated impressions,” so feel free to copy them as is or make your own—just take the plunge and give it a try.
If you have black swimwear and a Western hat, you’re all set; the rest is all about your spirit.
If you want to break out of your shell, definitely give it a go!
Yonchōtōshin
Yonshitōshin are the aces of Watanabe Entertainment.
Lately, they’ve been all over TV.
This trio also pioneered the groundbreaking style where Goto stands in the middle delivering retorts, while Tsuzuki and Ishibashi play the fools on either side.
If you want to imitate them, choosing the right people is crucial.
Put someone with a spaced-out vibe in the center, and flank them with energetic jokers on the left and right! If you have a close-knit trio at work or school, you could form a trio as-is.
Their bit where they “scold the names of veteran comedians” is easy to mimic.
Try adapting it by using your boss’s or senior’s name—you’ll get big laughs!
Kohmi Hirose
An impersonation of Kohmi Hirose, who’s known for her winter songs, is perfect for year-end parties.
The key is keeping the energy sky-high and using more vibrato than necessary.
It’s also a signature routine of the impressionist Miracle Hikaru, so you might want to study her singing! I’d love to see confident singers give it a try.
The highlight is basically the high notes, but if you can’t hit them, you can go for laughs from the start with a bit like “Kohmi Hirose who can’t hit high notes.”
koi (nishikigoi)
In 2021, the manzai duo Nishikigoi won the M-1 Grand Prix.
Many of you may know them for Hasegawa, the boke (funny man), and his over-the-top character.
Their manzai is so traditional it could be called old-fashioned—in a good, straight-laced way.
That’s why it feels fresh to younger audiences and reassuring to adults.
When doing an impression, the person playing the boke needs to go all out, but since their material is simple, nailing just that part is enough.
The tsukkomi (straight man) should deliberately play it cool.
Atarimae Taiso
COWCOW’s “Atarimae Taiso” (Obvious Gymnastics) has been running since 2011.
Set to piano accompaniment and singing, it expresses everyday, obvious things through song and exercise.
Matching wigs and outfits inspired by children’s TV exercise hosts—white shirts and navy pants—are essential.
Since the costumes are easy to coordinate, preparation is simple.
How about carefully selecting from their existing bits and practicing those?
