(October 25, 1873 – November 7, 1916) was a popular rōkyoku recitalist in Meiji Japan. His immense popularity helped rōkyoku break into the mainstream. At his height, he performed tales of the Forty-seven ronin to sell-out crowds at some of the biggest theatres in Tokyo and Osaka. These performances also roused nationalist sentiment during Russo-Japanese War.〔Hyōdō Hiromi and Henry D. Smith II, “Singing Tales of the Gishi: Naniwabushi and the Forty-seven Rōnin in Late Meiji Japan.” ''Monumenta Nipponica'', 61/4 (Winter 2006), pp. 459-508.〕 Tōchūken's style of reciting left a lasting impression on rōkyoku, and indirectly also on enka, especially the music of Haruo Minami and Hideo Murata.〔[http://www.nishinippon.co.jp/nnp/culture/kayou/20061220/20061220_001.shtml [第６部・演歌巡礼＜８＞初代桃中軒雲右衛門 受け継がれゆく浪花節] / 九州歌謡地図 / 西日本新聞]〕 Mikio Naruse made a biopic about him in 1936. ==See also== * Music of Japan * * Yoshida Naramaru 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kumoemon Tochuken」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
