There are several scripts which have been based on Kanjincho, such as the relaxed and somewhat old-fashioned "Gohiiki Kanjincho" (Our Favorite Kanjincho), written by Jisuke SAKURADA the First during the Tenmei Period, and "Ataka no Seki" (The Ataka Barrier), which is a modern interpretation of the story written during the Taisho Period.
『勧進帳』に取材した他の脚本では、天明期に初代桜田治助が作った、大らかで古風な味わいのある『御贔屓勧進帳』（ごひいきかんじんちょう）と、大正期に近代的解釈を施した『安宅の関』が有名。
