[2025] Perfect for party acts! Try voice actor impressions using famous quotes from anime characters

music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

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 skits! Try voice actor impressions with famous quotes from anime characters (21–30)

Ryusei Nakao

[Prank] Dragon Ball: Original Frieza Voice Actor Ryusei Nakao VS Frieza in an Interview!! ...but for some reason, Frieza ends up in genuine tears [Prank]

This is an impression of Ryusei Nakao’s voice, known for roles like Frieza in Dragon Ball and Baikinman in Anpanman.

His distinctive high-pitched tone and the atmospheric way his characters speak are easy to emulate, and I think it’s a voice everyone has heard.

Yuuichi Nakamura

Yuichi Nakamura - Voice Sample

I think there are many fans of Yuichi Nakamura who find themselves watching any anime he voices.

If you ask, “What is an ikemen (good-looking) voice?” this is the only answer.

Even people who aren’t into anime will go, “Oh, I know him,” because he’s also active as a narrator.

Nana Mizuki

Tsubomi Hanasaki → Cure Blossom Transformation

A uniquely talented voice actor known for being great at enka.

Thanks to that influence, they’re famous for having singing skills that far surpass the level of typical songs sung by voice actors.

In fact, they’re a versatile VA who collaborates with other artists as well.

Rather than mimicking voices, trying song impressions might surprisingly be more exciting.

Aki Toyosaki

Aki Toyosaki’s anime character collection

She is a voice actress who became instantly popular for playing Yui Hirasawa in the anime K-ON!, where high school girls play musical instruments.

Because she speaks with a slight lisp and has a very gentle, laid-back manner, she might be an easy person to imitate for women who normally speak slowly.

Yoko Hikasa

Yoko Hikasa’s collection of anime characters

She rose to fame for her role as Mio Akiyama in K-On! and has since played numerous leading characters.

She’s also a highly capable singer and a very versatile voice actress.

It’s said that she popularized the phrase “tehepero.” Even if you don’t imitate her voice, just mimicking the “tehepero” might be entertaining.

Kanichi Kurita’s Lupin

While doing a Lupin impression, the real person appears

The voice actor for Lupin changed from Yasuo Yamada to Kanichi Kurita, and Kanichi Kurita does an impersonation of Lupin.

After becoming Lupin’s voice actor, he compares an early version and a more emotionally expressive version.

The key point is that it’s Kanichi Kurita’s impersonation of Lupin.

Keiji Fujiwara

[Zenzenzense] Hiroshi Nohara and friends tried singing ‘Zenzenzensha’ [Your feet.]

This is a video imagining what it would be like if Keiji Fujiwara—known for roles such as Hiroshi Nohara in Crayon Shin-chan and Maes Hughes in Fullmetal Alchemist—sang RADWIMPS’s “Zenzenzense.” Speaking of Hiroshi Nohara, his uniquely melancholic voice makes this kind of parody really entertaining.
