Biography
Onoe Kikugorō VIII is a Japanese kabuki actor and the eldest son of Onoe Kikugorō VII, a Living National Treasure. Born August 1, 1977, he earned the epithet "Prince of the Kabuki world" for his refined features and descent from one of kabuki's most distinguished families. He is the eighth actor to hold the stage name Onoe Kikugorō and previously performed as Onoe Kikunosuke V. On April 29, 2025, at a special performance at the Kabuki-za Theatre, he formally succeeded to the name Onoe Kikugorō VIII, while his own son inherited the stage name Onoe Kikunosuke VI. This moment marked an unprecedented occurrence in kabuki history: two actors simultaneously bearing the name Kikugorō. A traditional "Koshiki-Kaoyose Teuchi-shiki" (古式顔寄せ手打式) ceremony honored the succession and blessed the subsequent series of name-succession performances. In addition to his kabuki career, he has also worked as an actor in television series and films. As a Japanese male actor born in 1977, Kikugorō operates within a tradition where stage names function as marks of accomplishment, passed from generation to generation. His Leo zodiac sign aligns with his regal public persona, while his life-path number 33 suggests a mastery role in preserving and elevating a centuries-old art form.
