  • Japanese: 観世小次郎信光 (Kanze Kojirou Nobumitsu)

Kanze Kojirô Nobumitsu was a Noh ôtsuzumi drummer[1] and playwright, known especially for the play Ataka, upon which the kabuki play Kanjinchô was later based.

Along with his contemporaries Kanze Nagatoshi and Konparu Zenpô, Nobumitsu is considered a pioneer in fûryû Noh, featuring more complex plots and a greater emphasis on action and drama between characters rather than internal psychological struggles.
