IKKO
IKKO, famous for her catchphrase “Dondake~!” delivered with a wagging index finger, is a hair and makeup artist by trade and also known as a beauty expert.
Thanks to her strong personality, though, we tend to see her most often on variety shows.
Lately, when it comes to imitations of the bright and energetic IKKO, it feels like we see Matsuo from the comedy duo Chocolate Planet doing her more often than the real IKKO herself, doesn’t it? (lol) The great thing about an IKKO impression is that it’s easy and recognizable even without perfectly copying her outfit or hairstyle—very accessible!
Hoi Kenta
Hoikenta, who has had a long career as an impressionist entertainer, is best known for his impersonations of Sanma Akashiya.
Recently, though, a different side of him drew attention on the variety show “Chidori no Oni Renchan.” When he performed T.M.Revolution’s “HIGH PRESSURE” at karaoke, his distinctive vocal techniques—like the memorable “karada guu”—really stood out, so it’s recommended to focus on recreating that aspect.
As seen in his Chris Peppler impression, his naturally low and beautiful voice is also a charm point, so leveraging that to create contrast could work well too.
Stitch
Stitch is a character from Disney’s TV anime “Stitch!” who looks like a blue bat.
He’s known for his distinctive, stuffed-nose-sounding voice that pops out from his big mouth.
The key to doing a Stitch impression is to speak with your mouth closed, letting your upper and lower teeth wobble as you talk! It’s especially recommended for men with naturally lower voices to give it a try.
How about attempting it at an event where Disney or anime fans gather?
Tanjiro Kamado
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is now a hot topic wherever you go, and once you start talking about it, the conversation really takes off.
There are characters who are easy to impersonate and ones who are especially popular, but you can’t skip the protagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, can you? If you can master his impression, you’ll definitely be a hit at gatherings with kids! It’s a bit of a higher bar, but memorizing one of the longer, memorable lines from a famous scene could really liven things up.
Of course, it’s likely to go over well at gatherings of adults too.
Frieza
Dragon Ball characters are often impersonated, aren’t they? Especially in groups of men, those impressions can really liven things up.
When it comes to impersonating Dragon Ball’s Son Goku—well, more specifically, Masako Nozawa, Goku’s voice actress—Identity’s Tajima is famous for it.
And among those characters, one that really stands out is Frieza.
He has several famous lines.
It’s also well known that Kanemitsu from the comedy duo Plus-Minus often does him.
EXILE
If the venue has a karaoke setup, doing an EXILE impression is highly recommended.
It always gets the crowd going! If you’ve got a large group, you can’t go wrong with the classic EXILE dance: everyone forms a circle and spins their arms while performing the hit “Choo Choo TRAIN.” You could even ad-lib by inviting seniors or your boss to join the performance.
If you want to compete on vocals, songs that work well for harmonizing in a duo, like “Lovers Again” or “Futatsu no Kuchibiru,” are great picks.
Practice a lot and wow everyone!
HIKAKIN
How about trying an impression of HIKAKIN, arguably the pioneer of YouTubers in Japan? His style is characterized by over-the-top reactions as he passionately showcases products, accentuated by his human beatboxing.
He has signature camera angles for showing items and set patterns for the beats he uses, so try incorporating those to faithfully recreate his style.
The tightly edited pacing, with minimal dead air, is another hallmark of HIKAKIN, so this is an impression that works better shown in a video than performed live.
In conclusion
We’ve rounded up a bunch of great impersonations recommended for men. Many of the ones introduced in this article are frequently performed by professional impressionists and are crowd-pleasers, so you can’t go wrong with any of them! When doing impressions, it’s important to consider how well they match your natural voice, so find the ones that suit you and try mastering a few!
