*''Japanese'': 龍虎 ''(ryouko)''

''Ryôko'' (lit. "Dragon and Tiger") is a fifth-category (''kiri Noh'') [[Noh]] play. Meant to serve as the brief but exciting conclusion to a full program of Noh plays, it features a fight between a tiger and a dragon, supposedly taking place in a bamboo grove somewhere in China.
