''Hyôbanki'' were compilations of rankings and critiques of [[kabuki]] actors and [[oiran|courtesans]] published in the [[Edo period]]. They were generally published at the [[new year]] in [[Edo]] and [[Kamigata]], reviewing and ranking the courtesans and actors of the previous year. Along with ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' woodblock prints and other publications, ''hyôbanki'' were important elements in the urban popular culture of the period.

''Yakusha hyôbanki'' often also included narrative reviews of individual performances, in the form of a fictional conversation between stock characters (e.g. the fan, and the detractor). For many kabuki plays of the Edo period, these are valuable sources for scholars seeking to reconstruct the casts and plots, as well as popular reaction, etc., as play scripts generally do not survive, and often were not even written out to begin with.<ref>Timothy Clark, "Edo Kabuki in the 1780s," ''The Actor's Image'', Art Institute of Chicago (1994), 38.</ref>
