No fear of sudden requests!! A roundup of recommended impersonation repertoire for men (21–30)
Gian
There are several anime that could be called national treasures, but among them, Doraemon is probably a super-anime known by every generation, isn’t it? The switch to a completely new voice cast was shocking, but that was already back in 2005.
Among the main characters, Gian really stands out with his strong personality.
How about mastering an impression of Gian? He’s the kind of character who gets laughs anywhere—an absolute crowd-pleaser, right? Once you get the hang of it, be sure to hold a Gian Recital!
Nyan-chu
If you’re at a party with parents of small children, an impression of Nyan-chu—the popular puppet character from NHK’s E-TV—is a great pick! According to his voice actor, Kyosei Tsukui, the key to Nyan-chu’s distinctive gravelly voice is to add vibrato without constricting your throat.
It’s a technique you wouldn’t expect from a raspy voice that sounds like it’s being forced out.
Check out his own explanation video for reference, and practice patiently while being careful not to strain your throat!

B’z
B’z, the artists behind countless hit songs, are legendary.
Vocalist Koshi Inaba’s voice is uniquely high-pitched, making it pretty tough to imitate, but when you pull it off, the energy is absolutely unbeatable! Definitely give it a try.
Gintoki Sakata
Gintama, a manga that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, was adapted into a TV anime, and from there the TV anime, the theatrical films, and even the live-action movies ignited its popularity all at once.
How about doing an impression of its protagonist, Sakata Gintoki? This type of impression suits people with naturally good voices.
If people often tell you, “You have a great voice,” definitely give it a try! It’s even better if your voice gets lower when you put on a cool air.
There are tons of famous lines, but I think the coolest one is: “The things you wanna protect—you can protect ’em even without thinking about wanting to protect ’em.”
T.M.Revolution
T.M.Revolution is the solo project name of singer Takanori Nishikawa, and since his debut in 1996 he has consistently drawn attention not only for his songs but also for his music videos and costumes.
His signature track HOT LIMIT looks like it would be tough to recreate the costume for, but if you really commit to the impression, you’ll surely be remembered among your friends as a brave hero.
Ken Shimura
Ken Shimura, a comedian who has led Japan’s comedy scene since his days with The Drifters, has many famous signature bits like “Baka Tono” and “Hitomi Bāsan,” making it easy to capture his essence in impressions.
The scariest thing about doing impressions is not being recognized, but with Ken Shimura, there’s no chance of failure.
Chiharu Matsuyama
Chiharu Matsuyama is beloved as a one-of-a-kind singer for his distinctive personality and vocal prowess.
He’s also known for his deep love of his home, Hokkaido.
How about trying an impression of him using a few of his signature songs? It would definitely get the crowd going, especially among people of the same generation or at gatherings of that era! Not only his singing style but even the way he holds the microphone is distinctive.
Once you get the hang of it, it’s all about practice, no matter which song you choose!
