Notes
  1. While the stage names of all kabuki actors have retained traditional order (Surname-Givenname) on Wikipedia, birth names of those born after the Meiji Restoration are in Western order (Givenname-Surname).
  2. Son of Kataoka Nizaemon XIII, he was the younger brother of Kataoka Gatō V and the older brother of Kataoka Nizaemon XV and the only one of the three brothers who acted as Onnagata (i.e. he was a Kabuki actor who specialized in female roles).
  3. She and Toshimitsu Yamamoto were Ainosuke VI's biological parents and both owned a screw manufacturing factory in Sakai, Osaka (Ainosuke VI's hometown). Unfortunately, she passed away from an unspecified terminal cancer in 1999.
  4. He and Jōkō Yamamoto were Ainosuke VI's biological parents and both owned a screw-making factory in Sakai (Ainosuke VI's hometown). Unfortunately, he died of subarachnoid hemorrhage, a rare bleeding disease, in 2000 (one year after the death of his wife Jōkō).
