Note: The following actors are mentioned in the poems on the surimono: Shirai Matsujirō (白井松次郎); Ōtani Takejirō (大谷竹次郎); Nakamura
Ganjirō I (中村鴈治郎); Kataoka Nizaemon XI (岡仁左衛門); Kataoka Gadō IV (片岡我童); and Arashi Kichisaburō VII (嵐吉三郎). However, seeing
as Kataoka Tônosuke (片岡當之助; 片岡当之助) took the name Arashi Kichisaburō VII at the Naka-za in Osaka in February 1928, he is the most
likely candidate. Moreover, one of the poems expressly references Tônosuke inheriting the Arashi family name.
