Ebizo Ichikawa's 13th generation Danjuro To the name of the attack from November

Kabuki actor Ebizo Ichikawa will take the name of the 13th generation of Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro in November.

The name was planned to be quiet, but it was postponed due to the influence of the new coronavirus.

Keijuro Ichikawa is a great name in the Kabuki world that has continued since the Edo period, and Ebizo was supposed to take the name of the thirteenth generation following the twelfth generation who died in 2013 with his father, but the influence of the new corona virus. So, the name of the attack scheduled for May was postponed.

According to Shochiku, Ebizo will call himself the 13th generation Ichikawa Danjuro Shirozaru because it has been decided that he will perform a performance at Kabukiza Theater in Tokyo for two months from November.

In addition, the eldest son of Ebizo, who was also postponed, Shinnosuke Ichikawa, the eighth generation of Ebizo Horikoshi (9), will also be named.

Mr. Ebizo said, "It is an important name for the Ichikawa family from the first Keijuro, and I am keenly aware of the heavy responsibility of inheriting that big name. Although there are still many anxieties and restrictions, as many as possible. We will do our best to move forward and move forward so that everyone will be happy. "

Ebizo Ichikawa announced his comments in response to the fact that he was named the 13th generation Danjuro Ichikawa in November.

"It was postponed due to the Korona-ka, but this time, Ichikawa Danjuro, the 13th generation, will be named and will be announced at the Kabukiza Theater. I will call myself Shinnosuke and serve as the first stage. It is an important name for the Ichikawa family from the first Keijuro, and I am keenly aware of the heavy responsibility of inheriting that big name. However, I am deeply grateful for the support of everyone who has always supported me, and I will do my best to move forward and move forward so that as many people as possible will be pleased.

We would like to ask for your continued support from both parents and children. "
