Japanese: 豊竹此太夫 - とよたけこのたゆう

A tayu of Gidayu-bushi. (1) The first was Toyotake Chikuzen Shojo's former name. (2) The second (1726-96, Kyoho 11-Kansei 8) was a pupil of the first, commonly known as Zeniya Sakichi. After working as Toyotake Yaetayu and Tokitayu, he assumed the name of Zeniya Sakichi in 1757 (Horeki 7). His style is said to still be present in his works Pawnshop, Gōkō, and Obiya. He also wrote Jōruri Setsu Shōyō (1777) and other writings. The name of this tayu continued for five generations. [Inobe Kiyoshi]
