Like ''[[Ataka]]'' and other plays also based on the ''Gikeiki'' and set during this period of Yoshitsune's life, Yoshitsune is portrayed as the boy Ushiwakamaru, and not as the accomplished adult he would have been at that time. Another interesting feature of the play is that the same ''shite'' actor plays two very different parts in the first and second acts: the lady Shizuka, and the ghost of the samurai Tomomori. The play diverges from the ''Gikeiki'' in terms of the plot, as well, having Shizuka sent away, to return to the capital, rather than traveling with Yoshitsune and Benkei, as she does in various other stories and plays.</ins></div></td></tr>

<br />
''Funa Benkei'', or "Benkei Aboard Ship," is a [[Noh]] play by [[Kanze Nobumitsu]] in which [[Musashibo Benkei|Benkei]], helping [[Minamoto no Yoshitsune]] and [[Shizuka Gozen]] escape from the forces of [[Shogun]] [[Minamoto no Yoritomo]], is attacked by the angry spirit of [[Taira no Tomomori]], who died at the [[Battle of Dan no Ura]].<br />
<br />
The play is based more directly on the ''[[Gikeiki]]'' ("Chronicle of Yoshitsune") than on the ''[[Heike monogatari]]'' ("Tale of Heike"), and though set after Yoshitsune's great victories as a general in the [[Genpei War]].<br />
