<Shinoharu Tatekawa>
SHINOHARU TATEKAWA is a Rakugo (Japanese traditional comic storytelling) performer born in Osaka, Japan. He moved to New York at the age of eight, and since then, has spent a total of 7 years in the U.S. After graduating from Yale University in 1999, he worked in Mitsui & Co. Ltd for three and a half years. In 2002, he was so greatly impressed and inspired when he attended Shinosuke Tatekawa's Rakugo performance that he decided to give up his corporate position to become a professional Rakugo performer himself by taking up a discipleship with Shinosuke Tatekawa.
Experience Rakugo in English!
Rakugo is a traditional Japanese comic storytelling entertainment that has been passed on for more than 300 years. It takes a unique style, where one performer sits on a stage, and acts out all the characters that appear in the story. Some stories are classical, some are original, but they are both quite hilarious. Shinoharu, who used to live in the U.S. for seven years, makes this entertainment accessible to non-Japanese speakers and first-timers, as well as Rakugo fans who are eager to experience this art with a different twist. Please join the fun!!
