Anime characters (31–40)
Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti
Petelgeuse Romanée-Conti, a character from Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, has many memorable lines like “It’s sloth, desu ne” and “My brain… trembles.” If you can capture his voice, he might be a relatively easy character to imitate.
Since he’s unsettling, the key is to avoid speaking too clearly—keep your voice low and slightly indistinct.
It also helps to use the tone you make when you yawn and to tuck your chin in.
Try practicing while watching the anime!
Togepi
Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokémon from the Pokémon series, is a character known for its cute, egg-inspired look.
It’s voiced by Satomi Koorogi, who also voices Mew and Pichu in the series, and its high-pitched cries are wonderfully catchy.
Since the voice is closer to an animal’s than a human’s, try it intuitively.
The key to a good impression is to add strong accents and project with energy.
Give this character voice a try—you’re sure to surprise and delight!
Hakushon Daimao
How about doing an impression of the TV anime Hakushon Daimaō, which aired on Fuji TV from October 1969 to September 1970? Classic lines include “Called forth—ta-da-da-daaan!” and “I can’t handle this.” Although it’s a Showa-era work, its characters are still ‘active’ in the 21st century, appearing in video games and more.
rabbit
The rabbit from Chiikawa doesn’t have any difficult lines, so it’s an easy character to try for both kids and adults.
Instead of proper words, it mostly uses sound effects like “Yaha,” “Haa,” and “Puruya,” so you can give it a go without trying too hard.
Basically, the energy level is high, so the key is to go all-out without feeling shy! You can even do it quickly during work breaks or school recess, so definitely give it a try.
All for One
All For One, the strongest and most nefarious villain in My Hero Academia.
Despite his polite manner of speaking, his lines drip with malice and instill fear.
When doing an impression, start by practicing with a low voice and an open throat.
Since he wears a mask for most of the series, try holding a cup or something similar to your mouth while using that practiced vocal technique—you’ll get surprisingly close! Try saying people’s full names, or famous lines like, “Everything is for me,” to really capture the impression.
Denji
It could be a hit to do an impression of Denji, the protagonist of the anime Chainsaw Man.
His voice actor is Kikunosuke Toya, whose performance balances a youthful tone with a gentle quality.
To mimic his way of speaking, it helps to lift the ends of your sentences and incorporate some vocal fry.
Try honing it by studying tutorials that teach voice impressions.
Don’t forget to review his famous lines! Or, it could be fun to have him say things he normally wouldn’t, with your own original twist.
Meowth
Pokémon is loved by children, but many adults also know and like it, so there are lots of characters—especially the main ones from the early days, which are very well known.
Among such popular characters, how about choosing Meowth and doing a voice impression? Unlike other Pokémon, Meowth speaks human language.
That means you can do a versatile impression that livens up the moment.
The key is to include a throat-clearing sound and a laugh that comes from the nose.
It might be a little difficult, but once you get it down, it’s an impression that will be a hit with both kids and adults!
