is a popular character based on the historical Tōyama Kagemoto, a samurai and official of the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo Period of Japanese history. In kabuki and kōdan, he was celebrated under his childhood name, Kinshirō, shortened to Kin-san. He was said to have left home as a young man, and lived among the commoners, even having a tattoo of flowering sakura trees on his shoulder. This story developed into a legend of helping the common people. The novelist Tatsurō Jinde (陣出達郎) wrote a series of books about Kin-san. Noted actor Chiezō Kataoka starred in a series of eight Toei ''jidaigeki'' films about him. Several Japanese television networks have aired series based on the character. These variously portrayed him pretending to be a petty hood or a yojimbo while solving crimes as the chief of police. People famous for having portrayed Kin-san on television include kabuki stars Nakamura Umenosuke IV and Ichikawa Danshirō, singers Yukio Hashi and Teruhiko Saigō, and actors Ryōtarō Sugi, Hideki Takahashi, Hiroki Matsukata, and Kōtarō Satomi. Saigō and Satomi portrayed Kin-san in the series ''Edo o Kiru''. ==Film versions== Eight films from Toei starred Chiezō Kataoka: *''Irezumi Hangan'' *''Chizakura Hangan'' *''Edokko Hangan to Furisode Kozo'' ''(The Edo Official and Apprentice)'' (1959) *''Gozonji Irezumi Hangan'' ''(The Official with Tattoo)'' (1960) *''Hayabusa Bugyō'' ''(Falcon Magistrate)'' (1957) *''Hinotama Bugyō'' ''(Fireball Magistrate)'' (1958) *''Tatsumaki Bugyō'' ''(Whirlwind Magistrate)'' (1959) *''Sakura Hangan'' 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「Tōyama no Kin-san」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
