A popular star whose career spanned back to the days of silent cinema, Ichikawa had a stern, imposing presence. He is best known for his long-running Bored Hatamoto series (Hatamoto Taikutsu Otoko), although I have yet to see any of those. No relation to Raizo Ichikawa as far as I know, but Utaemon does bear something of a resemblance to his contemporary Chiezo Kataoka. In superficial terms, I learned to tell them apart by remembering that Kataoka is the more kindly, avuncular-looking one while Utaemon Ichikawa tends to look more surly and fearsome.
