This is the legendary Robin-Hood-of-Japan, Goemon Ishikawa. Many many many pop-culture tidbits have been made with this historical figure (a new movie for instance), and you guessed it, a Kabuki play. Well, several, actually. Only one is performed nowadays, and I swear to god, it is impossible to find a photograph of an actor in costume. So this one is relying on woodblock-prints of actors hundreds of years ago.
TTYL!
