Akane Osaki grew up immersed in rakugo, a traditional Japanese art form where a performer tells stories using only their voice, facial expressions, and gestures. Her father, Shinta, was deeply passionate about rakugo and devoted his life to mastering it.
Watching her father tirelessly pursue his dream of becoming a shin’uchi—the highest rank in rakugo—inspired Akane to develop a love for the craft. Despite the challenges and sacrifices that came with Shinta’s journey, his unwavering dedication left a profound mark on Akane’s heart.
As Shinta poured his heart and soul into rakugo, Akane became more enchanted by its ability to enchant audiences with nothing but words and emotion.
She marveled at how rakugo could breathe life into countless characters and stories, transporting listeners into entire worlds crafted from imagination alone. Witnessing her father’s struggles and triumphs motivated her to explore this unique art form herself.
When her father faced a pivotal moment—his attempt to pass the shin’uchi test—Akane realized how much rakugo had shaped her life and her family’s bond.
Determined to honor her father’s dedication, she decided to follow in his footsteps and step into the rakugo world. However, becoming a rakugo performer was no easy task, especially in a field steeped in tradition and high expectations.
