            Note: References suggest that Baikô VI
            performed other roles in this play and that
            Sôjûrô VII also covered the role of Ohide
            no Kata.  However, it is possible that Baikô
            VI assumed the role sometime after the
            opening performance, or that the print
            represents Baikô V performing the role of
            Ohide no Kata in a different play on a
            different date altogether.
