[2025] Perfect for party acts! Try voice actor impressions using famous quotes from anime characters
There are plenty of occasions—year-end and New Year parties, wedding after-parties, and all sorts of events—where you get the chance to put on a little performance.
But maybe you don’t play an instrument and don’t have any particular act… If that’s your dilemma, I recommend doing impressions of famous quotes from popular characters voiced by well-known voice actors!
These are all lines you’ve probably heard or seen somewhere, so this one-shot gag works not only for gatherings of anime fans but surprisingly well in various other settings, too.
And even if your impression doesn’t sound anything like the original, that can be funny in its own way.
If you’re not confident in your mimicry skills, give it a try for inspiration!

[2025] Perfect for party acts and performances! Try voice actor impressions with famous quotes from anime characters (1–10)
Kept you waiting, huh? (Solid Snake)Akio Otsuka
It’s one of the iconic lines Solid Snake delivers when he appears in the game Metal Gear Solid.
It’s precisely because it’s spoken in Akio Otsuka’s deep, resonant voice that the protagonist’s reliability and reassuring presence come through so strongly.
Akio Otsuka is active in a wide range of work, including anime, dubbing for foreign films, and narration, and his powerful voice truly enhances heavy, immersive worlds.
When doing an impression, it’s best to focus not only on the low pitch but also on a powerful yet flowing delivery.
Huh? That's strange! (Edogawa Conan)Minami Takayama
Many of you probably remember Conan’s famous line, “Huh? That’s strange…,” from Detective Conan, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Sunday in 1994.
Though he has the mind of a great detective, Conan—who appears as a child—uses this line to naturally signal when something about a case doesn’t add up.
His voice actor, Minami Takayama, is also active as a vocalist in a music unit.
Try presenting the little things you wonder about every day as a fun, comedic one-liner on a public stage!
Kana Hanazawa
Originally, she worked as a child actor and later moved into the voice acting industry.
Her voice is a uniquely cute, soothing tone, and she’s known as a healing-type voice actress.
It may be an easy voice to imitate for people who are quiet and speak softly.
She’s also good at slightly high-pitched lines, so it’s recommended for those who are comfortable with that style of speaking as well.

Nobuyo Ōyama
This is an impersonation of Doraemon, the anime character most associated with Nobuyo Oyama.
The Doraemon anime has been airing since 1979, and she voiced Doraemon for 26 years.
Doraemon has a distinctive voice and way of speaking, making it a popular character for impersonations.
Only those who are prepared to be shot have the right to shoot. (Lelouch Lamperouge)Jun Fukuyama
With as many as 11 entries including the theatrical films, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion really leaves an impression—especially the cool line by the protagonist Lelouch Lamperouge: “The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.” Jun Fukuyama, the voice actor, has appeared in many works besides Code Geass, such as Assassination Classroom and Mr.
Osomatsu.
It might be fun as a party trick to try imitating the characters he’s played in order!
You stole something tremendous. (Inspector Zenigata)Gorō Naya
This is a slightly altered version of Inspector Zenigata’s line from the film Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro.
It’s what Inspector Zenigata—who has a cat-and-dog relationship with Lupin—says to him after Lupin says goodbye to the heroine Clarisse and departs.
The voice actor Gorō Naya, who passed away in 2013, also played many iconic roles in masterpieces like One Piece and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
It’s a scene that symbolizes Clarisse’s budding love for Lupin.
If you imitate it as a wedding reception gag or at an after-party, it’s sure to get everyone excited!
A lie is the very best kind of love, you know? (Hoshino Ai)Rie Takahashi
Oshi no Ko was adapted into a TV anime in 2023, and a second season has already been greenlit.
The protagonist Ai Hoshino’s iconic line, “Lies are the ultimate form of love, you know?” is perfect to perform at events like year-end and New Year parties.
Voice actress Rie Takahashi is a proven talent who has won both the Best New Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards at the Seiyu Awards.
Ai Hoshino’s irresistibly cute signature quote would be fun for anyone—male or female—to imitate.
Try using it as a go-to party trick when the moment calls for it!
