[Entertainment/Performances] Women-Recommended Crowd-Pleasing Impressions (21–30)
a dog that barks a little
Nakagawake is a comedy duo that’s popular not only in the Kansai region but nationwide.
They’re brothers—an older and a younger—and each of them delivers spot-on, nerdy impressions and everyday-life bits that make you laugh while thinking, “That’s so detailed! They really pay attention,” and even move you a little.
One of the older brother’s routines is “The dog that barks just a little.” It’s about a dog that was barking energetically, gets scolded, and then its bark gets muffled in its mouth—it starts barking more timidly.
If you live with a dog, you know exactly what that’s like!
Impressions/impersonations medley of national/popular anime characters
Doing impressions can feel intimidating…
but if it’s just casually showing off an impression of a famous anime character, doesn’t that seem doable? You often see celebrities on TV mimicking the voices from Crayon Shin-chan or Doraemon, right? It’s also nice that when the character’s name is part of the impression, you don’t need much explanation.
Try performing a few impressions of characters from beloved, nationally famous anime—like a medley!
Tony Tony Chopper
From the hugely popular manga and anime One Piece, here’s an impression of Tony Tony Chopper, the Straw Hat crew member loved for his cute look and adorable voice.
If you’re a woman, it may be relatively easy to mimic his voice, and you can boost the overall quality by paying attention to the costume as well.
By the way, his voice actor is Ikue Otani, who’s also famous for voicing Pikachu in Pokémon.

The comedy duo Chidori is especially popular among the younger generation.
This video looks like Chidori too, but… it actually isn’t (lol).
It’s Mekaru and Tamukai from the manzai trio Senshi, who perform at the Yoshimoto Manzai Theater in Osaka.
These two have been talked about for resembling Chidori, but they’re actually doing impressions of Chidori! Chidori’s routines might seem difficult, but as you can see, if you focus on key points like accenting certain pronunciations and the way they laugh, you might be able to pull it off.
Calcifer
When it comes to impressions that go over well with women, you can’t leave out Ghibli characters! To appeal to girls, focus on widely loved works like Ghibli or Disney rather than the niche titles that men tend to prefer.
Calcifer is the fire spirit from Howl’s Moving Castle.
His voice and way of speaking are very distinctive, so he should be relatively easy to imitate.
Frieza
The Dragon Ball anime series is a work that remains widely popular today across genders and generations.
There are many famous characters, but Frieza, who was also featured in the movie Resurrection ‘F’, is particularly distinctive.
With many iconic lines like, “My power level is… 530,000,” Frieza is perfect for studying while watching the anime—so give it a try!
Characters from Sazae-san
When it comes to Sunday evenings, how about doing impressions of characters from the beloved national anime Sazae-san? There are plenty of characters just within the Sazae family, and many of them are distinctive and well-known.
Popular choices for impressions include Masuo, Anago, and Tara-chan.
If it’s Ikura-chan, just “Babuu!” will do! I think anime character impressions are easier to perform casually and tend to get a better reaction than impressions of real people.
