[Easy to Imitate] Comedian Impressions: Crowd-Pleasing Entertainment/Performance Ideas (31–40)
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!
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.
Audrey
Kasuga from Audrey became popular for his unique look—pink vest and a techno-cut hairstyle—and his overly confident movements.
His appearance, mannerisms, and gags are very distinctive, so they should be easy to imitate.
His partner Wakabayashi also seems easy to mimic, with his calm yet sharp retorts and suit attire.
Performing an Audrey manzai routine with your friends would likely be a big hit.
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!
Rainbow
The comedy duo Rainbow gained attention on a New Year’s TV program in 2018, and since then they’ve been appearing frequently on comedy shows.
The member who cross-dresses has an impressively high level of quality.
If you say they’re the two-man team where one member cross-dresses and they do the “You’re beautiful.” “No, I’m not.” routine, people will surely know who you mean, so I think they’re easy to impersonate.

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?
R Fujimoto
R Fujimoto has become well-known for his Vegeta impression from the wildly popular manga Dragon Ball.
He’s also won numerous awards, such as the Dynamite Kansai Young Master championship and becoming the third Middleweight Champion of Gag Gallery 23.
The hallmark of his impression is Vegeta’s high-handed, domineering way of speaking.
If you mix in intimidating lines like “I’ll erase you!” it’ll sound more and more like him.
A go-to gag is parodying Vegeta’s lines, like “Tch, what a filthy ____!” Teaming up with someone who can do a Son Goku impression is also a solid idea!
