A kabuki actor who carries Nakamura Shichinosuke, a hereditary name of the Nakamuraya house, taken at his stage debut in 1987. He is the second son of Nakamura Kanzaburō XVIII.
According to the Kabuki Actor Directory, he was born on 18 May 1983. He first appeared in September 1986 as a festival child in Ori, under the name Namino Takayuki, and made his stage debut in January 1987 at the Kabukiza in Kadode Futari Momotarō, taking the name Nakamura Shichinosuke II. His elder brother Nakamura Kankurō received his own name in the same production.
In 2009 he received collective recognition as a holder of an Important Intangible Cultural Property and became a member of the Association for the Preservation of Traditional Kabuki (Kabuki Actor Directory).
What They Inherit
Kadode Futari Momotarō in 1987, where the two brothers received their names together, was — as its title has it — a setting-out for both.
