[Easy to Imitate] Comedian Impressions: Crowd-Pleasing Party/Entertainment Skits (51–60)
wrapJoiman
Joyman does laid-back rap bits with a slight sting.
The rhythm and tone layered onto Takagi-san’s unique moves are comical and seem perfect for tickling an elementary schooler’s laugh switch! It’s really fun to pick different themes—like Sengoku warlords—and riff freely back and forth.
If you can, dropping rhymes or using similar sounds might make people go, “Whoa!” and give you extra respect.
It’s a relaxed, low-pressure kind of comedy play.
Exaggerate your movements and just have fun with it!
Boru Juku
There are three members on TV right now, but Borujuku is actually a quartet of four acts.
The members are Haruka, who leads the manzai routine; Anri, the tsukkomi (straight man); Tanabe, the boke (funny one); and Sakayori, who is currently on maternity leave.
Among them, Tanabe’s signature line “Maa ne~” was even nominated for the 2020 Buzzword of the Year Awards, and it’s a surefire gag.
Even when someone says something unfavorable to her, if she spins it positively and says “Maa ne~,” it brings the house down.
Borujuku also has short skits, so if we’re going to do impressions, it’d be great to gather three people and give it a try.
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).
Naomi Watanabe
Naomi Watanabe, a popular personality known for her powerful energy that always lifts us up.
These days she’s active not only in Japan but around the world.
If you were to copy Naomi Watanabe, wouldn’t it have to be her Beyoncé impression? Or rather, it would be an impression of Beyoncé via Naomi Watanabe (lol).
Still, Naomi Watanabe’s all-out performances are truly exhilarating to watch.
Try going all in like she does and dance as boldly and flamboyantly as you can!

PERFECT HUMAN
How about doing an impression performance of RADIO FISH, the dance-vocal unit formed mainly by the two members of Oriental Radio? You’ll need to practice the dance and singing, but the songs themselves are cool and well-known, so I think it would really hype up the crowd.
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!
