Noh is traditionally divided into five categories of plays. Each category is defined by the types of characters it features, representing different themes, but also different points in a ''[[jo-ha-kyu|jo-ha-kyû]]'' progression, making the categories particularly suitable for being performed in a particular sequence, from First Category to Fifth, in order, in a full program.
