was a Japanese Kabuki actor, one of the three most famous and celebrated of the Meiji period,〔"Onoe family" (尾上家, ''Onoe-ke''). (Kabuki Encyclopedia ) (歌舞伎事典, ''kabuki jiten''). Japan Arts Council, 2001–2003. Accessed 30 May 2009.〕 along with Ichikawa Danjūrō IX and Ichikawa Sadanji I. Unlike most kabuki actors, who specialize in a particular type of role, Kikugorō, as a ''kaneru yakusha'', played both ''tachiyaku'' (male heroes) and ''onnagata'' (women) roles and was best known for his roles in plays by Kawatake Mokuami.〔 Kikugorō was also known as one of the chief actors in the "modern" subgenre of kabuki plays known as ''zangirimono'' ("cropped hair plays"), featuring Western-style clothes and hairstyle.〔Cavaye, Ronald et al. ''A Guide to the Japanese Stage''. Tokyo: Kodansha, 2004. p. 56.〕 Kikugorō was a popular figure in ''ukiyo-e'' woodblock prints, especially in those by Toyohara Kunichika. He was also featured on Japanese postage stamps, and performed in one of the first motion pictures ever made in Japan, ''Momijigari'', as the demon princess. The associated with the Onoe family were chosen by Kikugorō V and his son Onoe Kikugorō VI, and include many of the plays for which Kikugorō V was himself most famous. ==Names and lineage== Like most kabuki actors, and many artists of his time, Kikugorō had a number of names over the course of his career. His guild name, or ''yagō'', was Otowaya. He was at various times, and in different contexts, also known as Ichimura Kakitsu IV, Ichimura Uzaemon XIII, Ichimura Kurōemon, Onoe Baikō V, and Onoe Kurōemon I, and used Baikō and Kakitsu as his poetry names (''haimyō''). The fifth actor in kabuki to bear the name Onoe Kikugorō, he was the son of Ichimura Takenojō V and the grandson of Ichimura Uzaemon XI and Onoe Kikugorō III. His brother was Bandō Kakitsu I. Kikugorō V had two biological sons, Onoe Kikugorō VI and Bandō Hikosaburō VI, and adopted Onoe Kikunosuke II and Onoe Baikō VI. A number of actors active today are descended from Kikugorō V, including his great-grandson Nakamura Kanzaburō XVIII, one of the leading actors today, and Kanzaburō's sons (Kikugorō's great-great-grandsons) Nakamura Shichinosuke II and Nakamura Kantarō II. 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「Onoe Kikugorō V」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
