Comments: Daimatsu Hyakusuke was a popular and talented dôkegata in Ôsaka, who was active from the 1710s to the 1760s. One of the few Kabuki actors who had their name put in the title of a kaomise drama (in 1756 in the case of Daimatsu Hyakusuke) [1] A rare event for a dôkegata actor. [2] In fact, a comical character looking like Tônai Tarô. This character was famous in Ôsaka as it usually performed the roppô technique in the tanzen style. [3] This drama was revived a few times in Kamigata up to 1816. [5] This was the premiere of "Ôgiya Kumagai". [6] If you click on the visual link, the rank of Hayakawa Hatsuse was the one on the right side, not the left one which was much more usual. [7] There were two zamoto at the Naka no Shibai, Mimasu Daigorô I and Nakamura Utaemon I, and there were two kaomise dramas produced in this theater. Nakamura Utaemon I produced the two dramas and Mimasu Daigorô I produced only the second drama. The two dramas had a different casting but used the same title "Ôzatsuki Shuen no Kachidoki". |
