The actor Nakayama Shinkurô II held the name of Nakayama Raisuke I from the 11th lunar month of 1757 to the 8th lunar month of 1782.

The actor Nakayama Bunshichi II held the name of Nakayama Raisuke II from the 9th lunar month of 1782 to the 10th lunar month of 1793.

The actor Nakayama Kiraku I held the name of Nakayama Raisuke III from the 8th lunar month of 1796 to the 10th lunar month of 1802.

Born in 1768. He started his career in Ôsaka and his first stage name was Nakayama Hisajirô. He became a disciple of the actor Arashi Hinasuke I, who gave him the name of Arashi Shinpei III in the 11th lunar month of 1788. He revived the name of Sadoshima Chôgorô, becoming the second of this line at the end of 1793 although his relationship with the Sadoshima clan is not clear (he is listed as a disciple of Sadoshima Chôgorô I in the book "Kabuki Jinmei Jiten" but it is quite unbelievable as the master died in 1757 and the disciple was born in 1768). He finally became a disciple of Nakayama Bunshichi II in Fall 1794 and took the name of Nakayama Bunzô. He went to Edo in Fall 1805 and took the name of Nakayama Raisuke IV in the 11th lunar month of 1805 at the Kawarasakiza, performing in the drama "Chô Hanagata Koi Muko Genji". He went to Nagoya the following year and to Kamigata in 1807. He was active in Kamigata and Nagoya up to his death in Ôsaka the 23rd day of the 8th lunar month of 1815 ^[1]. He was a tachiyaku actor, whose fields of excellence were jitsugoto and wagoto. He was not at ease in delivering his lines and did not achieve a huge fame for himself because of this problem.

Dates of birth and death unknown. The identity of his father is not clear: was he the onnagata Nakamura Kingo or the minor actor Yamashita Gonjûrô? He became disciple of the star Arashi Rikan II and received the name of Arashi Torazô around 1827. Later on, he took the name of Arashi Jusaburô II. He became a disciple of Nakayama Shinkurô IV at the beginning of the Tenpô era and was allowed to take the name of Nakayama Raisuke V in 1832 before a tour to Nagoya. Afterwards, the only notable fact occurred in 1860, when he became the zagashira of the Takeda no Shibai, a hama shibai venue, where he performed in the 1st lunar month of 1860 in "Hana no Ani Tsubomi no Yatsufusa", "Sakigake Genpei Tsutsuji", "Katakiuchi Tsuzure no Nishiki" and "Koi Musume Nishiki Esugata". He was active up to 1862. No record afterwards.

Dates of birth and death unknown. There was a minor actor named Nakayama Raisuke VI ^[2], who was recorded a few times between 1888 and 1889. Relationship to the Nakayama clan unknown.
