Wakamono Research Inc. Press release: October 23, 2025 To Members of the Press 34.5% of high school girls in the Reiwa era “have a favorite impersonation.” What’s the full story?! We conducted a survey of current high school girls across the country asking them, “Do you have a favorite impersonation?” In a scene from their school days, they might imitate a teacher with a strong personality, In every era, there have been people who imitate anime characters with distinctive ways of speaking. That’s why impersonation can be said to be a familiar art form that brings smiles to those around you. Are there any high school girls in the Reiwa era who do impersonations? So, Wakamono Research, a marketing information site aimed at teenagers and current high school students, (https://wakamono-research.co.jp/media/

impersonation.” When this high school girl, who is good at
impersonations, performs an impersonation in front of her school friends, “Because people said I look like them.” It seems that this was the trigger for many people. Also, “I love messing around” “Because it makes everyone laugh.” “I keep it as a special talent.” “Because I like to be funny.” “Because my friends praise me.” High school girls whose role at school is to be the comedian, They also seem to find joy in making those around them smile through their excellent impersonations. Furthermore, like comedians, It seems that high school girls who fit this description spend their days searching for the best impersonations they can do and practicing them
diligently. Others: “Before I knew it, I was able to do it.” “I realized I looked like him before I knew it.” It seems that some high school girls had mastered the art of impersonation without even realizing it.

In second place is Nohara Shinnosuke from Crayon Shin-chan, In third place is Bo-chan from Crayon Shin-chan. Both have unique voices, making them easy to imitate. Also, the top three imitations all have “low voices,” so It may be that low voices are surprisingly easier to imitate than high voices. Also, “Doraemon” ranked fourth. Currently, Doraemon’s voice actor is Mizuta Wasabi, but Apparently, there were high school girls who imitated the previous Doraemon voiced by Oyama Nobuyo. Ranked fifth is “Npochamu”. This character was created by illustrator “Kaasanini!” It’s become a hot topic on YouTube and social media. His unique high-pitched voice is relatively easy to imitate, which is why he made it into the top 5. [High school girls who don’t have any good impersonations say it’s “difficult” and “embarrassing”] 65.5% of high school girls answered that they don’t have any good impersonations, “Impersonations are difficult and I can’t do them.” “I don’t do them because I’m embarrassed.” They don’t try impersonations because they feel it’s “difficult” or “embarrassing,” As a result, we received feedback that he doesn’t have any good impersonations. Also, “Because I haven’t done many impersonations.” “Because I don’t have any opportunities to do impersonations.” Some people say that they don’t have the environment to do impersonations in the first place, and “Because I’m a terrible impersonator.” “Because I’m not good at impersonations.” “I know my impersonations won’t be funny.” They try, but they’re so “unlike” that they end up giving up. It seems that many high school girls felt that it was not something they could show off in public. “Because I’m not funny” “Because I don’t have the sense to make people laugh” There are also high school girls who are aware that their own personalities and positions mean they are “not the type of person to do an imitation.” It also appears that the majority of high school girls who aren’t good at impersonations are “the type who don’t do impersonations in the first place.” It appears that the majority of high school girls who aren’t good at impersonations are “the type who don’t do
impersonations in the first place.” [Click here for details on the results of this survey] You can view the full details of the survey results introduced here on Wakamono Research.
