Japanese: 杵屋六三郎(4世) - きねやろくさぶろう[よんせい]

[Born] 1779
[Died] Ansei 2 (1855)
Head of the Nagauta shamisen school. A disciple of the first Kineya Masajiro. In 1808, he succeeded the fourth. Together with the tenth Kineya Rokuzaemon, he is said to be the founder of the Nagauta revival. He was particularly skilled at composing, and is famous for having gained the favor of the seventh Ichikawa Danjuro, who composed "Kanjincho." Other works he composed include "Oimatsu," which was the pioneer of pure appreciation music that was separate from Kabuki, "Fujimusume," "Azuma Hakkei," and "Matsu no Midori." In 1841, he changed his name to Rokuo. As his address was at the edge of Ueno Pond, his school was subsequently called the Ikenohata school.
