Kabuki actors are performers in traditional Japanese Kabuki theater, known for their dramatic gestures, elaborate makeup, and colorful costumes. They specialize in portraying specific character types, like heroes, villains, or comedic roles, often training rigorously from a young age within family lineages or specialized schools.

The process of a Kabuki actor applying his makeup is referred to as Kumadori, meaning “taking an impression”, in the sense that the makeup pattern conforms to the inner structure of their face and the interior persona of their designated character. After the performance, the actor may then leave an impression of the makeup on a silk cloth by pressing it against their face, creating an object of art called oshiguma.
