Japan Actors Association - Nihon Haiyuukyoukai

Japanese: 日本俳優協会 - にほんはいゆうきょうかい

An acting group. During World War II, an organization of the same name was organized under the guidance of the Information Bureau, but it was re-established in March 1957, mainly consisting of actors from commercial theater, including Kabuki and Shinpa. The group holds an actor festival once a year to improve the welfare and skills of its members, as well as special events such as a dance recital.
