Anime characters (11–20)
Shinichi Kudo
From Detective Conan, here’s an impression of the protagonist, Shinichi Kudo.
The role and the voice quality are both cool, so if you’re unhappy with your natural voice, studying this might help you aim for a better one.
It can give others the impression that you’re sharp-minded, which could be useful in many situations.
Lupin the Third
It’s an anime character that everyone, young and old, knows.
He’s playful and clumsy, but he also has a cool side where he really delivers when it counts.
For an easy Lupin impression, use a cheerful voice and say something silly—introductions are a classic.
If you want to take your impression a step further, why not try portraying Lupin speaking coolly in a serious scene? It requires acting skill, so it’s not something you can just pull off casually, but it might be very rewarding.
Winnie the Pooh
I think many people have never tried doing impressions and consider themselves beginners.
But how about practicing and mastering some anime characters or universally known characters for those times when you absolutely have to do one? Disney characters, in particular, are familiar to everyone from small children to adults, so they can be used in many situations.
Here, we’re giving tips on how to do an impression of Winnie the Pooh.
Pooh’s way of speaking is a bit different from his cute appearance—he has a laid-back, slightly uncle-like tone.
This guide introduces the key points for speaking like that.
Levi, Captain of the Survey Corps (Attack on Titan)
Humanity’s strongest, fastidious, sharp-eyed, and small in stature—yet the more you look, the more your heart skips: a cool and cute character.
That’s Captain Levi.
Not only anime geeks, but women all over Japan swoon over him.
If you could imitate him, you’d definitely get people screaming with excitement.
Frieza
This is Frieza, a popular character from Dragon Ball.
The voice has changed from the original voice actor, but it’s considered a relatively accessible range to imitate.
You could pair him with Goku and turn their banter into a comedy bit to appeal to kids.
Lately, many comedians do Dragon Ball impressions, and “Dragon Ball comedians” are really active (lol).
By the way, if you can do Frieza, you can probably do Baikinman from Anpanman as well.
Stitch
Among Disney characters, Stitch is especially popular.
He’s a mischievous little rascal but so cute you can’t hate him—and he’s actually an alien.
In Japan, he’s voiced by Koichi Yamadera.
Stitch has a very distinctive, raspy voice.
The trick, apparently, is to kind of close your throat.
Give it a try—but be careful not to strain your throat!
Anya
Both the manga and anime of SPY x FAMILY are hugely popular.
Among its characters, Anya—the girl who can read people’s minds—is adored by people of all ages.
That’s why doing an impression of the ever-popular Anya is sure to be a hit in any situation! Anya often mixes up words and speaks in a very childlike, innocent way—that’s her trademark.
Keeping that in mind, try saying lines like “Anya likes peanuts,” “Odekeke,” “Daijobumasu,” and “Chichi–Haha” in a cute voice! Don’t overthink it—just bring out as much of a childish vibe as you can, and even beginners will find it easy to try.
