Kairakutei Black I
Henry James Black (22 December 1858– 19 September 1923) was a kabuki actor and Japan's first foreign-born rakugoka, or public storyteller, performing under the name . He was also known by the name .〔Heinz and Miyoko, 133.〕
==Early life==
His father was J. R. Black, singer and publisher of several newspapers in Japan, including ''The Far East''.〔Bennett, 146-149.〕 Black was born in Adelaide, Australia on 22 December 1858 and lived in Japan since he was three years old. Following in his father’s entertainer streak, he became the first foreign-born Kabuki actor.
Black worked as an English teacher for about ten years, even publishing a textbook during that time. He had picked up Japanese in part by hanging round his father’s publishing company, and began appearing on stage telling entertaining stories about famous European historical figures. His audience was astounded to see a foreigner not only fluent in Japanese but also fluent enough to make them laugh. He published some of these stories in book form. By the early 1890s, English teaching had declined in popularity, and Black took up ''rakugo'' in defiance of his mother and brother, who felt it was not only undignified but also unstable work. The rakugo master, Sanyutei Encho gladly took him under his wing.
