Biography
Nakamura Kichiemon II (born May 22, 1944 ) is a Japanese actor, kabuki performer and costume designer.
Nakamura Kichiemon is a formal kabuki stage name. The actor's grandfather first appeared using the name in 1897; and Nakamura Kichiemon I continued to use this name until his death. Kichiemon I was the maternal grandfather of Kichiemon II.
