An actor who performs kyogen (hon kyogen, ai kyogen, sanbaso and furyu) in a Noh performance. Sometimes used synonymously with kyogen actor, strictly speaking a kyogen actor is a professional who performs kyogen as his main occupation, and even amateurs can become kyogen actors. In the Edo period, the rule was that a particular kyogen actor belonged exclusively to a shite school or family, but nowadays actors from two schools, Okura and Izumi, perform kyogen roles in five shite schools (Kanze, Hosho, Konparu, Kongo and Kita). In early Kabuki, there was a role called the Kyogen-kata, alongside the clown, who was responsible for humorous performances, but later on, lower-ranking Kabuki writers (Kyogen writers) came to be called Kyogen-kata.

能楽の上演において狂言(本(ほん)狂言、間(あい)狂言、三番叟(さんばそう)および風流(ふりゅう))を勤める役者。狂言師と同義に使われることもあるが、厳密には狂言を本業とする玄人(くろうと)が狂言師で、狂言方には素人(しろうと)でもなれる。江戸時代にはシテ方の流儀あるいは家に特定の狂言方が専属するのを原則としたが、現在は大蔵(おおくら)、和泉(いずみ)2流の役者が、シテ方五流(観世(かんぜ)、宝生(ほうしょう)、金春(こんぱる)、金剛(こんごう)、喜多(きた))の狂言方を勤めている。なお初期歌舞伎(かぶき)には、滑稽(こっけい)な演技を担当する者として、道化(どうけ)方と並び狂言方という役柄が存在したが、のちには歌舞伎の作者(狂言作者)のうち、下級の者を狂言方とよんだ。 [小林 責] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
