Yoshio Kojima
If you’re a man confident in your style, how about trying Yoshio Kojima’s gag? You know, the one with the tiny, tight swimsuit and the catchphrase “Sonna no kankeenee!” (“That doesn’t matter!”).
You could fully copy his routine, or turn your own experiences into a funny bit.
Once you get your hands on that colorful swimsuit, all that’s left is practice! Plus, since you’ll be appearing like that in front of people, it might even motivate you to diet or work out (lol).
Pizza manTsuntsuku-tsun Expo
If you’re looking for a show with impact, “Pizzaman” is a great pick.
“Pizzaman” is a comedy bit performed by the duo Tsuntsukutsun Expo.
It features a character with a pizza on their head singing about pizza.
The high-energy vibe is what makes it so funny.
By the way, the song used is titled “pizzaman,” with lyrics written by Tsuntsukutsun Expo.
How about starting by memorizing the lyrics?
Tetsu and Tomo
A hit with everyone from kids to adults—the Tetsu and Tomo bit that you can’t help but hum along to.
If you’re performing as a duo, it’s a great idea to don red and blue tracksuits and try the “Nandedarō~” routine.
It’s the kind of material that makes you chuckle without thinking, and thanks to Tetsu’s expressive face and movements, it’s funny no matter how many times you watch it.
At a wedding reception or after-party, you could spice it up by turning the bride and groom’s past escapades into the jokes—sure to get the crowd going! Forget your shyness and push your expressiveness to the limit!
Mr. Shachihoko
Mr.
Shachihoko, who became quite famous for his impersonation of Akiko Wada.
You probably hear the signature line, “What do you do?” more often from Mr.
Shachihoko than from Akiko Wada herself, right? So if you cross-dress like Mr.
Shachihoko and do an Akiko Wada impression, it’ll surely get laughs! It might feel odd to do an impersonation of an impersonation, but as long as it comes across clearly, it should get people laughing!
Miki
Miki is a brother comedy duo from the up-and-coming “seventh generation” that’s quickly rising to prominence.
They’re young, but their style is classic talk-driven manzai, so if you want to imitate them, you may need to practice smooth, quickfire delivery.
The older brother role should go in with high energy.
Visually, a check-pattern suit works well, and glasses are an essential item.
Tetsurō Degawa
Imitating Tetsurou Degawa is perfect as entertainment for a party.
Just copying his “Yabai yo, yabai yo!” makes everyone smile.
Degawa-san’s character feels familiar and widely known, so he’s easy to impersonate.
If you’re stuck for a party act, why not give it a try? It’ll definitely liven up the venue!
Kuro-chan
It’s not uncommon for celebrities who were once disliked to later raise their favorability—Egashira 2:50, once “Most Hated Celebrity No.1,” became a top YouTuber, and Tetsurō Degawa, once “Least Desirable Man to Date No.1,” became a family favorite.
I’m hoping Kuro-chan will follow suit someday.
Speaking of Kuro-chan, his trademark is that high-pitched voice—if you can imitate it in falsetto, definitely give it a try! The white tank top Kuro-chan often wears seems like something you can buy anywhere, and a goatee plus a shaved-head wig are probably available in the party-goods section.
If you’re a bit on the chubby side, you might resemble him even more!
Hiroshi
Speaking of self-deprecating humor, you all know this guy: Hiroshi.
These days, he’s also thriving on YouTube with high-quality camping videos.
Let’s practice performing one of Hiroshi’s routines! The style is to slump a little in a suit and mumble self-deprecating lines, sharing stories of sad or disappointing experiences.
Go ahead and unveil your own past sorrows and cringey “dark history” here—everyone’s got one or two of those, right? Let’s turn those gloomy bits into laughs and set them free!
Kai~noKanpei Kazama
It’s great to perform a joke everyone knows, right? So I’d like to introduce Kanpei Hazama’s signature gag, “Kaii-no.” The way to do it is very simple: rub your butt against something nearby while repeating “kaii-no.” It’s easier to get if you watch the original, but try tightening your throat a little and saying it in a cute voice.
By the way, this gag is simple and highly versatile, so you can slip it in during conversation transitions and the like.
emperor
Koutei, who won the ABC Comedy Grand Prix in 2020 and joined the ranks of popular manzai duos.
Their manzai style is like a sketch in progress, with a wide variety of punchlines and snappy comebacks—that’s their charm! Among their material, they also have lots of bits that work as one-off gags you’ll be tempted to imitate in everyday life.
In particular, their mysterious back-and-forth—“OK Shaka Jizo!!” and “Ziyaa!!”—doesn’t really have a clear meaning, but the sound of the words is catchy and sticks in your head! Why not try showing it off between segments at a party or performance?
