[Entertainment/Performance] Funny Impressions Recommended for Women (1–10)
Kiki
Among Studio Ghibli films, Kiki’s Delivery Service is especially popular across generations.
Starring the apprentice witch Kiki, it’s memorable for its heartwarming story and the beautiful depiction of a seaside town.
Kiki is voiced by Minami Takayama, who’s also famous for Detective Conan, right? Lively, energetic Kiki is a character that’s easy to imitate.
Just wearing her trademark black dress and red ribbon will give you a Kiki-like look.
Doing impressions while throwing in some self-deprecating jokes would likely liven things up, too!
Shinobu Kocho
The anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba was a huge hit in 2019.
Shinobu Kocho is one of the characters who appears in the series.
Despite her delicate and cute appearance, she’s one of the highest-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and her strong will is part of her charm.
Why not try doing an impression of her voice? Voice impressions are very popular as a casual performance you can do anywhere.
They come in handy when you’re performing solo or when someone suddenly says, “Do something!” Whether you’re trying voice impressions for the first time or you already have a few in your repertoire, give it a try!
No-Face
Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away was a huge hit, and many of you have probably seen it.
Among its characters, the one with a striking presence was No-Face.
There’s a memorable scene where No-Face lures a frog and others with gold in the middle of the night and eats them.
This is a grand project (lol) where you perform all of that alone.
Highly recommended for those who can do video editing!
[Entertainment/Performances] Funny Impressions Recommended for Women (11–20)
Zun Iio
Many people need entertainment for events like weddings or recreational gatherings but aren’t confident in singing or dancing.
In such cases, comedy routines by comedians are recommended.
Here’s a bit performed by Kazuki Iio, the boke (funny man) of the comedy duo Zun, on the show “Sanma’s Comedy Improvement Committee.” It’s a simple yet spot-on routine where he suddenly transforms into a “female editor-in-chief.” It’s short, but likely to get a quick laugh.
Frieren
https://www.tiktok.com/@wheat_13/video/7284519862645427458The anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is memorable for its unique story that serves as an epilogue to the heroes who defeated the Demon King.
How about recreating lines from Frieren, the protagonist of this work? As an elf who has lived for over a thousand years, her voice sounds girlish yet her tone carries a mature, world-weary insight that lingers in the ear.
Let’s also make sure to capture the aspect of her character that’s exceptionally lax and careless with time—stemming from the difference in how she and humans perceive it.
Ano-chan
As a musician and TV personality, they’re extremely popular on variety shows and radio as well.
Being a former member of the idol group “You’ll Melt More!” and having traits like difficulty getting along with others, they’re a person full of various unique qualities—that’s part of the appeal.
When doing impressions, it’s standard to recreate their relaxed, distinctive way of speaking that really conveys their laid-back personality.
It’s also striking how, once they step on stage, they transform and deliver an intense performance, so focusing on that contrast could be interesting too.
Nora Hirano
Nora Hirano, who draws attention with her thick eyebrows, bright red bodycon dress, and distinctive outfits, is a comedian whose material is based on the bubble era of a few decades ago.
With bits like “bubble shiritori” and signature catchphrases, she gets laughs.
Lines such as “Ottamagee!” and “Buttobi~” pair a striking look with nostalgia for those who lived through that time, making her a sure hit.
