Abstract Born into a famous kabuki family of onnagata-male actors who play female roles-Kikujiro is unrestricted by sexual norms. In his private life, he has sexual relationships with two men, Sawaki and An. H...e is forced, without much success, to take a masculine role with the former, while he is expected to assume a female role with the latter.
