Biography:
This actor held this name from 1787 to 12/1820. Andrew Gerstle wrote in 'Poetry in Osaka Actor Surimono and Prints', on page 150: "Rikan must have been self-confident and secure in his position as a leading actor, chosen at an early age to succeed to his father’s name ahead of his older brother, and then chosen to succeed Sawamura Kunitarō I to become troupe leader (za-gashira 座頭) of one of the two top-level (ōshibai 大芝居) Osaka troupes in 1805, while relatively young. He never felt the need to travel to Edo to perform. He was also active in both kyōka and haikai circles from an early age, as we have seen."

It should be noted that the kanji character for Arashi also means 'storm' or 'tempest'. Of course, this leads to a multitude of metaphorical meanings, especially in poetry.
