"Nakamura Nakazo" Nakamura Nakazo, who changed his name from Ainaka, was cast as one of the roles of Ox Sadakuro in the fifth act of Chushingura. He is dressed as a bandit who chases Yoichibei on the Yamazaki Highway wearing a striped nightgown, a kimono, straw sandals and a Yamaoka hood. It is not a role that a myadai would normally play. However, Nakazo, who is passionate about his art, is trying to find a new way to portray Sadakuro, the son of a chief retainer, but is unable to come up with a good idea... Hayashiya Shozo VIII (Hikoroku) The name Shozo was borrowed from the Ebina family and he had intended to return it to Sanpei at some point, but due to Sanpei's kindness, he decided to use the name Shozo for the rest of his life and to return it to Sanpei after his death. However, following the sudden death of Sanpei in 1980, he returned the stage name Shozo to the Ebina family and changed his name to "Hikoroku," so he was commonly known as "Shozo of Hikoroku." He was also known as "Inaricho (the master)" because of his place of residence, and "Shozo of the pointy head" because of his personality.Music: BGMer http://bgmer.net #rakugo #Nakamura Nakazo #Hikoroku #Shozo
