The actor is portrayed by Toyohara Kunichika in the role of Kamakura Gongorō Kagemasa, the legendary 11th-century samurai hero. A central figure in the famous Kabuki play Shibaraku, he is dramatically depicted wearing the bold, striped kumadori makeup that symbolizes virtue, courage, and honour.
Kunichika masterfully captures the theatrical intensity and larger-than-life presence associated with this iconic character, emphasizing strength, righteousness, and heroic defiance.
