Masahiko Kinoshi (喜熨斗 政彦, Kinoshi Masahiko, December 9, 1939 – September 13, 2023), better known by the stage name Ichikawa Ennosuke III (三代目 市川 猿之助, Sandaime Ichikawa Ennosuke), was a Japanese kabuki actor, famous for his love of keren (stage tricks).
He was considered the king of chūnori; he flew out over the audience, held aloft on strings, over 5000 times.
Ennosuke made his stage debut at the age of eight,[2] at the Tōkyō Gekijō, as Ichikawa Danko III.
He has revived a number of old plays, including Date no Jūyaku (The Ten Roles of Date), in which he played ten roles in one performance, through the use of a number of methods of hayagawari (costume quick-change).
Ichikawa En'ō II died from arrhythmia in Tokyo, on September 13, 2023, at the age of 83.
