| At kojo (a ceremony to announce that an actor takes a new stage name), only three people were there, including Kichiemon NAKAMURA I, Utaemon, and Fukusuke (present Shikan NAKAMURA VII) in front of a gilded folding screen, but the kojo itself was done by Kichiemon alone. |
口上には金屏風を前に、中村吉右衛門 (初代)、歌右衛門、福助（現・中村芝翫 (7代目)）の三人のみで臨み、口上そのものは、吉右衛門のみが行った。 |
