Chubei, a representative Wagoto role of Kamigata region, in “Koibikyaku Yamato Orai”. Nakamura Jakuemon 4th as Umegawa, Kataoka Takao (Kataoka Nizaemon 15th)as Chubei, Kataoka Gato 5th as Hachiemon. April, 1983 at the National Theatre. (Y_E0100121000055)
This is the main character of “Meido no Hikyaku”, a Ningyo-Joruri (puppet play) written by Chikamatsu Monzaemon (in Kabuki, a revised version “Koibikyaku Yamoto Orai” is performed). He is a son-in-law of Hikyaku Donya (a courier merchant) called Kameya. Chubei can be considered one of the representative characters of the Wagoto in Kamigata region; particularly his acting in “Fuinkiri” in which he delivers his lines with a few ad-libs.
