Biography:

Born December 9, 1939.

"The latter [Ennosuke III], now 74, is a famous innovator in kabuki and especially renowned for his keren (stage tricks) and as the man who founded the spectacular Super Kabuki style. In May 2001 he also, while vice president of Kyoto University of Arts and Design, staged “Shunju Sanbaso” to inaugurate the Shunju-za theater — with Kamejiro II in the cast.

Ennosuke III’s motto for the new theater was “experiment and adventure,” and he intended it to be the first real theater in a Japanese university. In the intervening years, the 843-seat venue has staged a wide range of productions, from traditional to cutting-edge multimedia shows."

Quoted from the Japan Times by Mika Eglington, December 18, 2013.

The name En'o is sometimes spelled Ennoh.
