He was therefore cast in many relatively small roles, but despite this he gave excellent performances as Tokimune SOGA in "Ya no Ne," Sawaichi in "Tsubosaka Reigenki," Oshi Modoshi in "Musume Dojoji" and Matahei in "Keisei Hangonko" ("Domo Mata").
そうした理由から、配役では比較的軽い役どころが多く恵まれなかったが、それでも『矢の根』の曾我時致、『壷阪霊験記』の澤市、『娘道成寺』の押戻、『傾城反魂香』（吃又）の又平などは優れていた。
