Fujimasai, the 15-year-old heir of the Japanese Kabuki family "GoryeoYa", has attracted everyone's attention because he looks like the little brother who came out of the manga.

Kabuki art in Japan, just like the status of Peking Opera in China, is known as the "national essence".
The art of Kabuki in Japan dates back to the Edo period in the early 17th century. At first, Kabuki performances were performed by women, but when the shoguns at that time were considered to be "offensive", women were forbidden to perform Kabuki. Like early Chinese Peking Opera, Japanese kabuki can only be performed by men, and this tradition is still strictly adhered to today.
There are many families in Japanese Kabuki, each with its own specialty, and has its own "house number" and "house pattern".
In addition to the "Koryoya" where Fujimasai is located, I would like to introduce you to "Nakamuraya" today.
A member of the "Nakamuraya" family
Nakamuraya was originally headed by Nakamura Kanzaburō, originally known as Tetsuaki Hano, born in 1955, debuted at the age of 3, and in 2005 took his father's name "Nakamura Kansaburo". Unfortunately, he died on December 5, 2012 at the age of 57 due to acute respiratory distress and ineffective medical treatment. Kanzaburo Nakamura is not only good at playing male roles, but also good at anti-string female roles, and has also starred in many Japanese dramas.
Kanzaburo Nakamura, 18th generation
Kansaburo Nakamura's wife, Yoshie, was born into another Kabuki family, Narikomaya, and her father was a famous Kabuki actress known as a "national treasure on earth", Shichiyo Megumura Shibaki.

After the death of Nakamura Kanzaburo, the "Nakamura House" was headed by the eldest son, Kankuro Nakamura, the sixth generation, and nanosuke Nakamura, the second son, who was responsible for picking up the girder.

Kankuro Nakamura plays the male protagonist, known as "Tateshi", while his younger brother Nakamura Nanosuke is mainly anti-female character, called "female form".

When Nakamura Nanosuke was born, his father, Kanzaburō, said that he hoped that one of his two sons could specialize in the performance of "female form", and now it can be said that his wish has come true.
When Nakamura Nanosuke was born
Nanosuke's "female form" performance was also personally directed by Yusaburo Sakato, known as "Japanese Mei Lanfang".

Nakamura Nanosuke's classmates in high school are now big stars, and actor Jun Matsumoto is his classmate and best friend. Despite being surrounded by so many handsome men, Nanonosuke is the most popular boy in his class.

Probably because he specializes in "female form", Nakamura Nanosuke's personality is relatively gentle and understands women's hearts. According to his high school classmate and takema, the second generation of the Kabuki family "Otowaya", Makami Matsu also broke the news that when Nanosuke was in high school, his pet girlfriend was spoiled, and let him see this boy, and they all sighed and sighed.
Because his girlfriend likes to lie in bed in the morning, Nanokosuke will call on time every morning and call his girlfriend to get up;
For example, his girlfriend's favorite strawberry is exactly the last thing Nanosuke likes to eat, but in order to please his girlfriend, he takes out the resilience of a Kabuki actor, trains himself every day to train himself to eat strawberries, and finally succeeds in making himself "unable to swallow" at the beginning to completely accepting it.

Nanosuke thought about getting married when he was a teenager, but for some reason, as he grew older, his desire to get married became less intense. Especially his brother has already married and had children, after having two sons, he feels that he does not shoulder the heavy responsibility of "passing on the generations", so now that he is 37 years old, he is not in a hurry to get married and have children.
Nanosuke's older brother and nakamura's eldest son, Kankuro Nakamura, married actor Ai Maeda as early as October 2009. They met while co-starring in the TV series Empire of Light, after which Kankuro began to pursue Ai Maeda.

After marriage, their two sons, Nanasuke Hano and Tetsuyuki Hano, were born successively. In 2017, 5-year-old Nanatsuhachi and 3-year-old Tetsuyuki, who were named After the names of Kantaro Nakamura and Sansaburo Nagasaburo of the second generation, respectively, made their debut and made their debut on stage, performing the traditional play "Nakamuraya", Momotaro.
The brothers perform "Momotaro"
The heirs of the Kabuki family are trained in strict Kabuki performances from an early age. Nakamura's two youngest grandsons began training at the age of 2. In addition to their father and uncle, there are also their aunts and grandmothers, Grandma Yoshie's sister Nakamura Umeya. Umeya Nakamura, who came from a Kabuki family, is also a dancer, although she cannot participate in Kabuki.

However, no matter what, after all, people are still a baby, like the younger Nakamura Nagashiro, who gets up early every day to go to class and training, and is dragged up by the elders of the family crying and making trouble.

When you put on makeup, you can fall asleep there.
When training, the little guy does not enter the play at all, and there are many small actions. And obviously acting is a tragedy, this little guy is laughing and acting the whole time.

The training is not serious, and I was scolded by my father!
However, usually, when the little guy is officially performing, he still has a board and an eye, much like that.

Moreover, Nagasaburo dressed in women's clothing is also very cute! It seems that he wants to inherit the mantle of his uncle and take the acting path of "female form" in the future.

Although his elder brother Kantaro Nakamura is only 2 years older than his younger brother, he is much more stable.
I put on my own makeup every time.
I was also meticulous in my training.
When the younger brother was crying and being surrounded by a group of adults, the elder brother Kantaro was alone, sitting calmly eating ice cream, small age, not alarmed, cool! (I think it's more because it's not weird anymore)
The older brother Kantaro ate ice cream calmly, and the younger brother cried in the back
When I performed on stage, I was also the appearance of a small adult, and I could see that I had a deep foundation.
Conclusion
The sons of the Kabuki family, seemingly beautiful, are called "famous noble princes", but almost every day, they are either performing or training for performances. Their families, for their acting careers, are also silently supporting them behind their backs. Because they are not only Kabuki actors, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of carrying forward and inheriting the centuries-old family inheritance and cultural traditions.
No one will succeed casually, and behind all the glamorousness, it is sweating hard for years.
