Comedians & Gags (1–10)
Sunshine Ikezaki
This is an impression of the comedian Sunshine Ikezaki, known for shouting in a high-energy style.
I think it’s the kind of impression that works precisely because it’s a bright, lively setting.
He’s a comedian popular with a wide range of people, from children to adults, so it should be easy for everyone to recognize and enjoy.
Beat Takeshi
Don’t you see a lot of people doing impressions of Beat Takeshi? Plenty of amateurs do it, and there are lots of celebrities and impressionists who imitate him too.
Let’s steal some techniques from the pros! Famous catchphrases include “Bakayarou” (“You idiot!”), and his signature gag “Komaneci.” The key to impressions is going all in—so give it your all and show it off!

Not only for his freewheeling comedic style but also for his world-class artistry and his major-label debut as a vocalist and guitarist, Kukkī is well known.
This is one of his popular bits: a parody where he paints his face white and then draws a specific person’s face over it.
It’s an incredibly simple routine, but it really captures the key features.
Despite having a completely different bone structure and face type, it’s been talked about as being “way too similar!” Be sure to check it out at least once.
baseball gag
If there are a lot of sports fans, how about trying some baseball jokes? This article introduces a total of 10 bits, including gags that use players’ names.
Many of the jokes feature famous players, and there are also bits that even people who don’t know much about baseball can understand.
Some routines use well-known anime songs, so they should appeal to a wide audience.
Each bit is short, which makes them easy to remember—another nice plus.
If you only rely on one routine and it doesn’t land, you’ll be in trouble, so memorize plenty of short gags!
Nobplover
Chidori are manzai comedians you can’t go a day without seeing on TV, no matter the day or the channel.
Nobu, the straight man of the duo, is also someone who’s easy to impersonate.
His distinctive Okayama dialect ending “…ja” is a surefire, hard-hitting bit.
Try getting laughs with self-deprecating lines delivered with a troubled look, like, “What does the company even want from me, ja?” You can also lean into bits like deliberately mentioning the price of an expensive watch, or bragging about the large number of followers on social media—there are plenty of angles you could mimic.
It’s also a good idea to watch shows featuring Chidori and research Nobu’s latest catchphrases!
Yoshimoto Shinkigeki
Yoshimoto Shinkigeki is a treasure trove of characters to target for impressions.
Watch videos on TV or those uploaded online.
You’ll surely find a gag you can imitate too.
“Aren’t you gonna drill?!” (Doriru sen no kai) is one of the recent go-to bits, isn’t it?
Buruzon Chiemi
Shiori Fujiwara, who shot to fame as Buruzon Chiemi and continued to thrive on variety shows before returning to her real name, is still very active.
Her strong, outspoken persona became a huge sensation and has practically become a staple for impressions and party performances.
How about doing a perfect imitation of Buruzon Chiemi? Go all out—nail the BGM and routine, and perfect the outfit, hairstyle, and makeup! Using inside jokes for the routine will make it even more exciting!
