Matsuda

Matsuda stands as the most senior and steadfast guardian of the Yurakutei lineage, having entered service as far back as the seventh-generation Yakumo's tenure. With a composed and warm-hearted nature, he has faithfully managed the daily routines and transportation of successive rakugo masters across decades. Throughout the story, he serves as a quiet yet indispensable presence—a living chronicle who has silently observed the family's triumphs, sorrows, complex bonds, and the enduring legacy of rakugo passed down through generations.
