[Entertainment/Performance] Impressions that women will nail (crowd-pleasing impersonations)

There probably aren’t many people who love doing impressions in front of others! On the contrary, more people likely find it hard to perform in public.

That said, there are times—at work gatherings, get-togethers with friends, wedding receptions, or parties—when you have to put on some kind of performance.

In this article, we’ve picked out impression material that’s likely to get laughs and is easy for women to try.

From bits that work regardless of age or gender to impersonations of various TV personalities—there’s something for everyone.

Keep these in mind as a handy reference for when the time comes!

[Entertainment/Performance] Recommended funny impressions for women (41–50)

Calcifer

[Impressions/Voice Imitation] How to Do Calcifer and the Blue Frog [Tutorial]
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.

Baikinman

If we’re talking about an anime known across a wide range of ages, from children to adults, one that comes to mind is “Soreike! Anpanman.” The main character is Anpanman, but the blundering villain Baikinman is also a character with great charm.

This is Baikinman’s theme song, “Ikuzo! Baikinman.” It’s a cute, straightforward tune that feels very Baikinman, and it seems like it would really get the crowd going if you sing it with some simple choreography.

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.

Mana Ashida

Mana Ashida

The 2010 drama “Mother” showcased the acting talent of child actress Mana Ashida.

This is an impression of a particularly memorable scene from “Mother.” It’s the scene where Reina, the abused child played by Mana Ashida, calls Nao, the female teacher who kidnapped her and is trying to become her mother, and says, “Kidnap me again.” It’s a tear-jerking, iconic scene, but I think it’s also interesting how, when turned into an impression, it can suddenly become a gag like this.

Ado

[Song Impersonation] Ado 'I’m Invincible (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)' sung by nanami.

Ado made a sensational debut with “Usseewa.” In 2022, she drew major attention by appearing in the film ONE PIECE FILM RED as the singing voice for the key character Uta.

Songs like “New Genesis” and “I’m Invincible” are well known not only among children but also among parents, making her a perfect artist to imitate for performances at events.

Her powerful vocals and distinctive falsetto require considerable singing ability, but definitely give it a try!

Disneyland cast member

I wonder if this is what it would be like if Disneyland cast members gave directions to the restroom…?
Disneyland cast member

Have you all ever been to Disneyland? If you have, I’m sure the topic of Disney cast members has come up at least once.

Their way of speaking is so distinctive that you can sense their high level of professionalism.

This little skit is about a Disney cast member guiding you to the restroom.

Once you hear the content, you realize it’s simply about going to the bathroom, but thanks to the cast member, it feels like you’re about to board a fun attraction (lol).

I think just mastering the Disney cast member style of speaking and using it in conversation at drinking parties or banquets would really liven things up.

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!

I’m Hiroshi.

As long as you prepare the background music, it’s an easy impression that works even if your outfit and everything else don’t resemble the original at all.

Just change the “I’m Hiroshi” part to your own name, memorize the rest of the routine as-is, and you’ll kill at parties.

Rather than doing an impression that was popular last year, I recommend doing one that was a hit over 10 years ago so you won’t overlap with others.

Miki Maya

[Commercial] Yuka - Cha no Shizuku (Tea Drop) Soap, 60 seconds, December 2009

Miki Maya, a highly skilled actress known for her past role as a male-role performer in the Takarazuka Revue, became famous for the line “Don’t give up!” in a commercial.

The phrase is so well-known—practically synonymous with Maya—that just saying “Don’t give up!” in a brisk, no-nonsense tone is enough for people to know who you’re imitating, even if the impression isn’t spot-on; it’s a complete act in itself.

Sunshine Ikezaki

Sunshine Ikezaki

This is an impression of Sunshine Ikezaki that Takumi Saitoh did on the 2016 “Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!” No-Laughing series, which became a big hit.

If the outfit feels embarrassing, I think just wearing the headband works fine and is easy for people to recognize.

Coming up with your own opening lines might get a good laugh, don’t you think?
