My Take
Kabuki runs on bloodlines, so a boy from an ordinary Sakai family carrying a name six generations deep is a real story. He came up as a child actor, was adopted into the Matsushimaya line, and now plays television villains with an odd seductive charge. People meet kabuki through him and end up buying theatre tickets. That doorway is rare.
