It is said that Nizaemon KATAOKA, the thirteenth once outraged when he saw Danshichi by a certain kabuki actor in Tokyo who lacked kamigata color, and therefore he appealed to Tojuro SAKATA (then Senjaku NAKAMURA) saying that 'This is blasphemous to the kamigata kabuki, so would you please play Danshichi as an example?'
かつて十三代目片岡仁左衛門は、上方色の乏しい東京の某歌舞伎役者の団七を観て激怒し、坂田藤十郎（当時は中村扇雀）に、「これは、上方歌舞伎への冒とくや、あんさん、手本に団七をやっておくれやす」と頼み込んだという。
