Today, let me introduce you my Takinoya "family"😃

Every Kabuki actor has a hereditary stage title called "yagoo" and mine is Takinoya.

On the very right with the jacket on, is my "bantoo"  who sells tickets and takes care of patrons. She sometimes works as a manager, too😊

The woman with yellow cardigan on, is my attendant☺️ 

Next to her, is my pupil Monshoo😀

And…it's me!😆

The young guy right behind me is Takisho, the youngest among the pupil😃

The very left is the eldest pupil Takijiro😃

This photo is taken when we were performing in Nagoya in May. 

Although all of us have different schedule this month, we will be together again in September as we start rehearsal of the Super Kabuki 2 "ONE PIECE "

I can't wait to perform with Ennosuke Ichikawa who is the leading actor of the "ONE PIECE "
