Seems like there are an awful lot of pictures of Danjuro playing Benkei. It’s his party piece, obviously.

Kabuki Actor / cancelled 1913

Onoe Eizaburo 六代目尾上榮三郎(六代目坂東彦三郎) 

“問はれて名乗もおこがましいが、生れは遠州濱松在、十四の年から親に放れ、身の榮業も白浪の、沖を越したる夜働き、盗みはするが非道はせず、人に情を掛川から、金谷をかけて宿々で、義賊と噂高札に、廻る配符のたらいごし、あぶねへ其の身の境界も、最早四十に人間の、定めは僅五十年、六十餘州に隠のねへ、賊徒の首領 日本駄右衛門”

Bando Mitsugoro 七代目坂東三津五郎

“扨て其次は江ノ島の、岩本院の稚兒上り、平素着なれし振りでから、曲も島田に由井ケ濱、打こむ浪にしつぽりと、女に化けて筒持たせ、油斷のならぬ小娘も、小袋坂に身の破れ、悪い浮名も龍の口、土の牢へも二度三度、段ゞ越るとりい數、八幡様の氏子にて、鎌倉無宿と肩書も、島に育つた其名さへ 辨天小僧菊之助”

Morita Kan’ya 十三代目守田勘彌

“續て跡に控しは、月の武蔵の江戸育ち、ガキの時から手癖が悪く、抜參からぐれ出して、旅をかせぎに西國を、廻つて首尾も吉野山、ぶまな仕事も大峯に、足を止たる奈良の京、碁打と云つて寺々や、豪家へ入込み盗んだる、金は御嶽の罪科は、毛抜の塔の二重三重、かさなる悪事に高飛なし、跡を隠せし判官の、名前かたりの忠信利平”

Iwai Kumesaburo 五代目岩井粂三郎

“其亦次につらなるは、以前は武家の中小姓、古主のために切取も、鈍き刃の腰越や、砥上が原に身のさびを、研直しても抜難る、盗み心の深緑、柳の都やつ七郷、花水橋の切取から、今牛若と名も高く、忍び姿も人の目に、月影が谷御輿が嶽、けふぞ命の明方に、消る間近き星月夜、其名も赤星重三郎”

Nakamura Tozo 五代目中村東蔵(六代目大谷友右衛門)

“扨鈍尻に控へしは、汐風荒き小ゆるぎの、磯慣松の曲形、人に成たる濱育、仁義の道も白川の、夜船に乗込舟盗人、浪にきらめく稻妻の、白刃におどす人殺し、背負て立れぬ罪科は、其身に重き虎が石、悪事千里と云ふからは、どふで仕舞は木の空と、覺悟は兼て鴫立澤、併しあはれは身に知らぬ、念佛ぎらいな南郷力丸”

Kabuki - Heron Maiden, 1920s
This is an Onnagata (male performer) as the Heron Maiden. The Heron Maiden is a narrative dance performed originally in the classical Noh Theatre. It was adapted for Kabuki in 1760.
“In the darkness of night a white heron perches on a frozen lake. She is the haunting spirit of a girl who died of a broken heart, her soul too restless to ascend to heaven. Memories of love, passion, jealousy and the torment of hell are conjured by the dancer.”

市川海老蔵XI

Ichikawa Ebizo XI
This looks like one of the big princess roles, especially with the drum hairpiece and the beautiful red furisode kimono.
