Stories of chivalrous men: 'Kyodai Jingi' (Duty of Brotherhood) by Saburo KITAJIMA, 'Karajishi Botan' (Lion and Peony) by Ken TAKAKURA, etc. (Songs about chivalrous men are similar to those about wandering gamblers, but the former usually have heavy melodies, while the latter are lighter.)
任侠物…北島三郎「兄弟仁義」、高倉健「唐獅子牡丹」など（股旅物に近いが、股旅物は軽快、任侠物は重厚な曲調が多い）。
