plover
Chidori is a comedy duo known for their tagline, “Okayama’s Manzai Bosses.” Their manzai has a clear divide between the funny man and the straight man, making it easy to imitate, and their material uses topics everyone knows to deliver simple laughs, so you can mimic them without pressure.
It’s also great that they have lots of popular bits, like “Sushi Restaurant,” where overly fussy material keeps popping up, and “Taxi,” featuring a driver who keeps behaving rudely to customers.
If you match their look as well, you’ll get even closer to their style!
Oideyasukoga
Their name spread rapidly after the 2020 M-1 Grand Prix, and now “Oideyasu Koga” are in constant demand on TV.
That irresistibly catchy bit where a song everyone knows suddenly turns into something completely unfamiliar halfway through—and Oideyasu Oda’s explosive, full-throated retorts.
I know what’s coming, but it’s so funny I end up watching it over and over.
Koga being oddly good at singing is impressive, too.
Whether it’s an original song or not, singing and then hitting the punchy comeback—there’s no doubt it’ll bring the house down!
sandwich board man
Winners of the 2007 M-1 Grand Prix, the duo Sandwichman now appear on numerous variety shows and consistently rank high in popularity polls.
If you perform a straight copy of one of their sketches, it’s sure to get the crowd going! What’s more, among their routines, a line that almost always appears—and has become one of their signature catchphrases—is: “I’m not really sure what you’re saying.” It’s a go-to bit not only when you’re imitating their act, but also when you just want to get a quick laugh!
Robert Akiyama’s body impersonations
“Body impersonation” is a comedy bit by Ryuji Akiyama of the duo Robert.
It’s a simple routine where you put on a mask of a celebrity whose body type resembles yours, but it’s surprisingly funny.
While going shirtless is a bit of a hurdle, muscle suits and similar items are now sold as party goods.
If you’re reluctant to undress, buying one of those might be a good option.
In the original act, a mask of Tatsuo Umemiya was the standard, but which celebrity mask you choose is up to you.
Pick one that matches your body shape!
Ganbareruya
Ganbareruya, said to be one of the leading acts of the seventh generation of Japanese comedy, is a well-known female duo.
If you imitate them, it feels like it would go over well whether a man or a woman does it.
For Yoshiko, try a long-haired wig and plenty of blush.
For Mahiru, short blonde hair should be fine.
Cast off your embarrassment and go all in.
Shun Shun Clinic P’s Hey Hey Doctor
Shunshun Clinic P, popular on Hey Hey Doctor.
He’s actually a real doctor, and this bit where he sings and dances about doctor “relatable moments” might be one of the easier ones to do, with costumes that are simple to coordinate.
Adding dancer nurses could make it even more fun for the audience to watch.
Even if you’re not a doctor, this might be your chance to become one—at least for a moment.
Dandy Sakano
When you hear “Get’s!” you think of this guy! Dandy Sakano sparked a huge craze with that one catchphrase.
Dressed in flashy yellow and doing monologues reminiscent of stand-up comedy.
If a man is performing solo, trying a Dandy Sakano impression is recommended.
It’s got a slightly American, kinda corny vibe, but even if you flop, you can smooth it all over with a big “Get’s!” (lol).
You can copy his routine as-is, but it’ll get even livelier if you sprinkle in some inside jokes specific to your group.
