[Simple Impressions] Fun Classic Bits Even Beginners Can Do [2026]

Impersonation Medley of the Godless Month

Mr. Kanazuki performing impressions at a friend’s wedding

There are many impressionists out there, but KANNAZUKI has a wide repertoire and his impressions are so accurate that he’s popular and well-liked by both kids and adults.

How about doing a full-on impression of KANNAZUKI’s repertoire? It would be like an impression of an impression, but you could pick a few that seem doable from his many go-tos—like Yosui Inoue, TUBE’s Maeda, pro wrestler Keiji Mutoh, Chiharu Matsuyama, and others—and try performing them as a medley.

Peekaboo-san

A hot topic on Omoshiro-so! Hyokkori-han [skit]—moves you can’t help but imitate! [Yoshimoto Young Performers Festival]

Mr.

Hyokkori-han, who had a huge breakout.

Since all he does is pop his face out from various places, you don’t need any difficult techniques, and even if you don’t look much like him, the bob haircut, black-rimmed glasses, tank top, and tights make him a character that needs no explanation!

Osamu-chan

2011/4/4 (94) The Bonchi Bonchi Osamu

In 1981, amid the manzai comedy boom, “The Bonchi” stood out as an exceptionally popular duo.

Even back then, Osamu’s signature ‘pause’ routine was his trademark, and to this day, his long, drawn-out “Oh, oh, oh…” followed by “It’s Osamu-chan!” could practically be called an Osaka specialty.

The key is not to be shy—go big with the over-the-top reactions.

Pikachu

A Pikachu Voice Imitation Tutorial Even a Monkey Could Do

Pikachu is hugely popular not only among kids but also adults.

It even got a live-action Hollywood movie, you know—Pikachu.

Its yellow, fluffy appearance is just so cute.

Let’s try doing a Pikachu impression! Basically, Pikachu only says its own name, “Pikachu,” and “Pika.” No matter what someone says to you, you can reply with those two words, so it might be surprisingly versatile (lol).

Olaf

[Voice Imitation] I tried doing an impression of Olaf from Frozen, just capturing the vibe!

The White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland actually has a name: Nivens McTwisp.

Sometimes side characters become just as popular as the leads, don’t they? In Frozen, the reindeer Sven and the snowman Olaf are hugely popular with not only kids but adults, too.

If you speak a little sleepily, with a languid tone yet a slightly rapid pace, you’ll get much closer to sounding like Olaf.

And if you have a carrot, it could stand in for Olaf’s nose! Perfect for a quick party trick.

Mr. Anago

[Impressions] How to Do an Anago-san Voice Impression! [Tutorial]

Anago-san, the hugely popular character from Sazae-san, is great for impressions.

His deep, gravelly voice really stands out.

People tend to think it’s difficult, but precisely because the voice is so distinctive, it’s actually pretty easy to imitate—making him a surprisingly forgiving character.

It could be funny even if a woman tries it! Whether or not it sounds spot-on, as long as you’re having fun, it’s sure to liven things up.

Just saying Anago-san’s catchphrase, “Fuguta-kun,” makes a big impact.

Give it some practice and consider adding it to your impression repertoire!
