[Entertainment/Performance] Women’s Recommended Crowd-Pleasing Impressions (61–70)
Eiko Kano
Within the members of “Tohoku-damashii TV,” there’s a group called the “Kano B-ko Corps” who do impressions of Eiko Kano.
People like Sandwichman’s Date imitate Eiko Kano, and while it’s not exactly spot-on, it’s still unmistakably Eiko Kano (lol).
With his signature white suit and flashy playboy persona, plus the easy-to-grasp, catchy traits of a self-proclaimed handsome narcissist, it feels like anyone could give it a try.
Akiko Wada
This is an impression by celebrity impersonator Mr.
Shachihoko of Akiko Wada, one of the heavyweights of Japanese television.
Even people who don’t watch much TV likely know Akiko Wada’s vibe, way of speaking, and fashion, so it’s an impression you can use in front of just about anyone.
The contrast between her strictness and her caring attitude toward juniors is great! By the way, this bit is officially approved by Akiko Wada herself.
Kabao-kun
Anpanman is an anime that just about every Japanese person knows.
Its opening theme’s profound lyrics often become a topic of conversation, and many people remember hearing the characters’ voices and lines when they were kids.
Kabao-kun’s distinctive husky voice and laid-back way of speaking are easy to imitate! It’s sure to get a chuckle, so give it a try.
Anpanman
Anpanman is so well-known that you could say he’s the most famous hero in Japan.
He started in picture books, and the anime is hugely popular with kids—Anpanman is something every mom and dad went through in their own childhood too.
So how about doing an Anpanman impression, given how popular he is? Try doing his signature moves like the An-Punch and An-Kick with a bit of exaggerated action.
Kids love it, so it might be great to perform it in places where children are present.
Shinichi Kudo
Shinichi Kudo is a character from the anime Detective Conan, which is hugely popular with everyone from elementary school kids to adults.
If you say, “I can do an impression of Shinichi Kudo from Conan!” it’s a character anyone will recognize! Let’s try doing his voice.
It’s pretty tough since he’s voiced by the male voice actor Kappei Yamaguchi, who has a very distinctive voice, but if you pull it off, it’s sure to be a hit! It’s something you can perform for any generation regardless of trends, so if you’re going to practice one voice impression, Shinichi Kudo is highly recommended!
Yoshiko from Gamba Ruyah
If you apply blush heavily and put on a long wig, you’ll instantly turn into Yoshiko from Ganbareruya! In the middle of an ordinary conversation, she’ll suddenly switch gears and shout “Kuso ga!” at the top of her lungs, then next moment strike a mellow, angled pose and say “I’m Koyuki,” doing an impression of Koyuki.
Yoshiko’s world is boundlessly free!
Impersonations of people close to you
When it comes to impressions, most people think of celebrities or anime characters.
But at a casual get-together, doing impressions of people you know can be a hit too.
If you mimic niche details—like a friend’s favorite catchphrase or your boss’s reaction when they’re surprised—you’re sure to get laughs that only this group will truly appreciate.
Just be sure to keep it within bounds so you don’t make anyone uncomfortable.
