Kabuki's Forgotten War: 1931-1945

Index of Kabuki Actors’ Names in the Text

Following is a list of actors’ names that appear in the text and those actors’ life dates, where known. Most actors change names during their careers. To avoid confusion, I use only one name for each actor, the name by which he is most commonly known. If an actor’s name was different during 1931–1945, that name and dates of use follow in parentheses. Final numbers indicate page numbers. Page numbers in boldface type refer to illustrations.
