Ichikawa Ennosuke IV

Born into a kabuki family, educated at Keio, and not content to only act, he directs too. Even under his earlier stage name, his stage simply ran hotter. Flying wires, lightning costume changes, all of it driven by a hunger to astonish the room. People assume tradition means sitting still and being reverent. His theatre felt like a fairground.
