Notes

[1] In Nojima Jusaburô's book "Kabuki Jinmei Jiten", it was reported that this actor started his career in 1800 in Ôsaka in kodomo shibai, performing under the name of Arashi Kosaburô, not Arashi Naojirô (which was the first name of Arashi Hinasuke IV). For this actor, we decided to stay in sync with the latest edition (2012) of "Kabuki Haiyû Meiseki Benran".

[2] In Nojima Jusaburô's book "Kabuki Jinmei Jiten", Arashi Hidenosuke II was the second name of Arashi Hinasuke IV, not Arashi Hinasuke III.

[3] The 17th of the 9th lunar month of the 10th year of the Bunka era was the 10th of October 1813 in the western calendar.
