.Hidari Jingoro was a renaissance man, specializing in many artistic talents, he worked as a sculptor, painter, comedian, actor, koudan (Rhythmical storyteller), and a professor of art.

.Other sculptors were jealous of how skilled a carpenter Hidari was, the other carpenters became so angry that they chopped off his right arm. Luckily Hidari was left handed and was able to keep working. Hidari in Japanese means left hand, a name he acquired for being left handed, and only having a left hand.
