The role of “so spineless a man as to be falling down by being poked” is called “Tsukkorobashi” in Wagoto. There is somewhat a foolish side in him, and the actor is required to act in a rather soft style close to Onnagata. Yamazaki Yogoro, a young master, in “Futatsu Chocho Kuruwa Nikki” is one of the chief examples.
