- A fully-ranked rakugo master of the Yuurakutei school, known as the second-generation Sukeroku Yuurakutei, formerly called Hatsutaro. A fellow disciple of Kikuhiko under the seventh-generation Yakumo, he stands as one of postwar rakugo's most legendary figures.
Personality
boldly uninhibited
naturally gifted
unconventional
devoted to the common people
Sukeroku was a once-in-a-generation rakugo prodigy whose boisterous, magnetic performance style could captivate an audience from the very first word. Believing that rakugo belonged to the streets rather than the stage of tradition, he championed a populist vision of the art form—one that ultimately put him at odds with his master and led to his expulsion from the school. His life, as brilliant as it was tragic, cast a long shadow over Kikuhiko's artistic journey and left an indelible mark on the future of rakugo as a whole.
