His birth name is never specified, although Sukeroku took to calling him "Bon". He was given the name "Kikuhiko" when he became a student of the Seventh Generation Yakumo. He was originally a dancer, but he ruined his leg in an accident and ended up being given to Yakumo. During his time as a student, he would struggle to find his own rakugo having placed too much emphasis on flawless execution, but he was able to find inspiration thanks to Sukeroku. He would go on to inherit the Yakumo name, but initially he refused, thinking that he was not worthy of it. Following the deaths of Sukeroku and Miyokichi, he inherited the name to fulfill Sukeroku's vision of keeping rakugo going in a time where tastes in entertainment change. He would later on become the head of the rakugo association.
Second Generation Sukeroku Yurakutei (二代目有楽亭助六, Nidaime Yūrakutei Sukeroku) / Hatsutaro (初太郎, Hatsutarō): Voiced by: Koichi Yamadera; Played by: Ikusaburo Yamazaki; A rakugo storyteller known for his freestyle brand of rakugo. His actual birth name is never specified, but Kikuhiko used to call him by the diminutive "Shin" (信). He was given the name "Hatsutaro" when he became a student of the Seventh Generation Yakumo. Later on, he would change his name to "Sukeroku". Despite his talent for rakugo, Yakumo refused to pass on his name to him due to the rebellious nature of his rakugo. Following a heated argument, he was expelled from the school. He would move to the countryside to marry Miyokichi and start a family where he would spend his life drinking away in depression until Kikuhiko arrived to bring him back to doing rakugo again. He and Miyokichi died when they fell from a balcony in an inn where Sukeroku gave his last performance with Kikuhiko.
Third Generation Sukeroku Yurakutei (三代目有楽亭助六, Sandaime Yūrakutei Sukeroku) / Yotaro (与太郎, Yotarō) / Kyoji (強次, Kyōji): Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki; Played by: Ryō Ryūsei; An aspiring storyteller who was recently released from prison. He was born "Kyoji" and was given the name "Yotaro" when he became a student. Having been a big admirer of Kikuhiko's rakugo he decides to become his student. His desire to inherit Sukeroku's name that leads to conflicts between him and Yakumo due to Yakumo not wanting his brand of rakugo to be corrupted. Ten years after being accepted by Yakumo, he is promoted to a shin'uchi and formally becomes the Third Generation Sukeroku Yurakutei.
Miyokichi (みよ吉) / Yurie (ユリエ): Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara; Played by: Aya Ōmasa; A young woman who worked as a Geisha who first appeared as the Seventh Generation Yakumo's mistress whom he met in Manchuria. She became attracted to Kikuhiko due to his aloof personality and the two developed an on-again-off-again relationship. Eventually Kikuhiko rejected her and out of spite she began a relationship with Sukeroku which resulted in her becoming pregnant with their daughter, Konatsu. Sukeroku and Miyokichi eventually left for the countryside after Sukeroku's expulsion. However, she did not care for Sukeroku or Konatsu and instead turned to prostitution to earn money. After Kikuhiko appeared and rejected her advances again, she attempted suicide, but Sukeroku convinced her to stop. However, she slipped from a balcony and in his attempt to save her, both Miyokichi and Sukeroku fell to their deaths. Her true given name was "Yurie".
Konatsu (小夏): Voiced by: Yu Kobayashi; Played by: Riko Narumi; Sukeroku's and Miyokichi's daughter. She learned her father's style of rakugo to entertain customers at a soba shop in the countryside. Following the death of her parents, Kikuhiko became her legal guardian. She holds a great deal of resentment for Kikuhiko as she initially believed he was responsible for her father's death, and more recently because he represents the 'old-fashioned' traditional rakugo that does not allow women to participate. She later gave birth to a child named Shinnosuke whose biological father's identity is not revealed. Later in the series, it was revealed that she had witnessed the death of Sukeroku and Miyokichi but had lost her memories of the incident.

Anime

The seventh and eighth volumes of the manga included a 2-episode original anime DVD entitled Yotarō Hōrō Hen (与太郎放浪篇) produced by Studio Deen.

An anime television adaptation also produced by Studio Deen premiered on 9 January 2016. It was directed by Shinichi Omata (under the pseudonym Mamoru Hatakeyama) and written by Jun Kumagai, with music by Kana Shibue. Three promotional videos were released on KING RECORDS's YouTube page prior to the anime's premiere: the first on 6 October 2015, the second on 10 November 2015, and the final PV on 14 December 2015. The opening theme of the first season was "Usurai Shinjū" (薄ら氷心中, lit. "Thin-ice Double Suicide") composed by Sheena Ringo and performed by Megumi Hayashibara. The first episode combines both parts of the 2015 Yotarō Hōrō Hen original anime DVDs (edited down to 48 minutes for the broadcast version, whereas the home video release is the full "director's cut", with a runtime of 82 minutes). Crunchyroll added the anime to its simulcast stream in 2016. The first season had been licensed for a UK home video release by Anime Limited in 2016, but in 2017 they announced they lost the rights and canceled all plans for home video releases.

An announcement revealing the anime's second season was posted on the creator's Twitter account. The second season, titled Descending Stories: Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū (昭和元禄落語心中～助六再び篇～, Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen), premiered on 7 January 2017. Crunchyroll later added the series for its streaming. The staff from the first season reprised their roles in the second season. The opening theme of the second season was "Imawa no Shinigami" (今際の死神, lit. "The Death in His Dying Moment") composed by Sheena Ringo and performed by Megumi Hayashibara.

Live-action series

NHK announced in July 2018 that a live-action series adaptation was green-lit. The live-action series is directed by Yuki Tanada, Makoto Kiyohiro and Tatsuo Kobayashi, with scripts written by Daisuke Habara, music by Takatsugu Muramatsu and rakugo supervision by Kyōtarō Yanagiya. Masaki Okada, Ryō Ryūsei, Riko Narumi, Aya Ōmasa and Ikusaburo Yamazaki portrayed Yakumo, Yotarō, Konatsu, Miyokichi and Sukeroku, respectively. It aired on NHK between 12 October and 14 December 2018 in ten episodes.

Musical

A musical adaptation is set to run in Tokyo at the Tokyo Theatre Orb from February to March 2025, in Osaka at the Festival Hall from March to April 2025, and in Fukuoka. Koike Shūichirō will be writing the script and directing. The stage play will star Ikusaburo Yamazaki as Sukeroku, Rio Asumi as Miyokichi, and Yūta Furukawa as Yakumo.

Reception

The series was nominated for the 5th Manga Taishō, receiving 49 points and placing fourth among the fifteen nominees. It was also nominated for the 17th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. It ranked second on the 2012 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! Top 20 Manga for Female Readers survey, and it was fourteenth in the 2013 edition. It was also number seven in the 2013 Comic Natalie Grand Prize and it won an Excellence Award for manga at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards. It also won the 38th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga. The manga won Kumota the New Creator Prize category of the 21st Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2017.

Volume 3 sold 24,541 copies by 7 October 2012.

Nick Creamer from Anime News Network gave the first season of the anime an "A" score, describing it as "An intentionally theatrical tragedy, staged something like a rakugo performance itself", and praising its "Strong underlying narrative to gorgeous direction and top-tier performances."
