1. Who is Nakamura Tsurumatsu's son?

 

Nakamura Tsurumatsu is one of the most misunderstood kabuki actors. Because his name includes the character "Nakamura," he belonged to the Nakamuraya family, and he was deeply loved by Nakamura Kanzaburo during his lifetime, people tend to think that he was born into a prestigious kabuki family.

 

However, the bottom line is that Nakamura Tsurumatsu is not related to a famous Kabuki family. He was born into an ordinary family and entered the world of Kabuki not through lineage but through talent and hard work. This is what makes his career so special.

 

 

 

 

2. The meaning of the phrase "the third son of the late Nakamura Kanzaburo"

 

When researching Nakamura Tsurumatsu, one expression that always comes up is "the third son of the late Kanzaburo." This phrase has taken on a life of its own, and it is not uncommon for people to mistake him for a biological son, but there is no blood relationship between them whatsoever.

 

These words are a metaphorical expression that symbolizes the deep affection and expectations that Kanzaburo had for Nakamura Tsurumatsu. The fact that he called him his "third son" even though he already had a child of his own is proof that he treated him like family and entrusted his future to him.

 

In the world of Kabuki, the relationship between master and apprentice often extends to their everyday lives and even their lives. Since apprentices train together under the same roof from a young age, the background to the emergence of such a phrase is the extremely strong bond of trust.

 

 

 

 

3. What kind of people are Nakamura Tsurumatsu's parents (father and mother)?

 

Both of Nakamura Tsurumatsu's father and mother are ordinary people, and details such as their names and occupations have not been made public. However, from interviews with Nakamura himself, we can get a sense of what his parents are like.

 

As a child, at the urging of his parents, he joined a children's theater troupe at the age of three, and auditioned for a Kabuki role at the age of five. His parents were not particularly fond of Kabuki, but rather it was part of their educational policy of "giving their children a variety of experiences."

 

He continued his studies while touring the country performing, and eventually entered university through the general entrance exam. This path was only possible thanks to his family's understanding, realistic judgment, and long-term support.

 

 

 

 

4. Why are people searching for "family tree"?

"Family tree" frequently appears as a keyword related to Nakamura Tsurumatsu. However, this is not because there is actually a family tree of his blood relatives.

 

The world of Kabuki is one in which the culture of lineage, where names are passed down from generation to generation, remains strong. For this reason, when many people see the surname "Nakamura" or the family name "Nakamuraya," they naturally imagine a blood relationship.

 

In the case of Nakamura Tsurumatsu, it is correct to understand that what is being searched is not a family tree of blood ties, but a lineage of art. He is an actor connected to the Kabuki tradition not through bloodline but through master and apprentice.

 

 

 

 

5. Why he was able to succeed as a Kabuki actor despite coming from an ordinary family

Nakamura Tsurumatsu is not only garnering attention because of his unusual background. He has been praised for his stage experience since he was a child actor, his rigorous training at Nakamuraya, and his ability to balance his studies with performing arts.

 

He is particularly unusual in that he entered the Faculty of Letters at Waseda University through the general entrance exam. His experience studying theater theory, criticism, and a wide range of performing arts while performing on stage as a Kabuki actor has led to a deeper expression.

 

It is precisely because of this background that he has gone beyond being just a "promising young actor" and is now spoken of as an indispensable figure when talking about the next generation of Kabuki.
