Biography:

Almost nothing is known of this actor's life. We don't know when he was born and we don't know when he died. What we do know is that he took this name in ca. 1807.

At Kabuki21 they wrote: "Was he Yamashita Kamematsu III, adopted son of Yamashita Kinsaku II or was he Yoshizawa Sakitarô, the son of Yoshizawa Sakinosuke II, who was later on adopted by Yamashita Kinsaku II? We are sure that he was a minor actor who made a short and obscure career in Kamigata."
