A Rakugo-Kais a person whose job is to perform Rakugo. Before the war, Vaudeville was the main activity base, and they formed groups and held local performances, but after the war, they often used their storytelling skills to act as TV and radio moderators and personalities.

There are two types of rakugo storytellers.


 * 1) Otoshibanashi: A story with ``Ochi' ' (also called ``sage '' ) at the end of the story. " Rakugo " corresponds to this.
 * 2) Ninjo Banashi : A story that mainly depicts the affection of parents and children and married couples. Sometimes there is no "Ochi" at the end of a story.

The expression 'Rakugo-Ka' was born to talk about the Otochibanashi in 1., but now it is called 'Rakugo-ka' in all cases. The term 'storyteller' is also used almost synonymously, and some Rakugo-ka prefer the term 'storyteller'.

In the Edo period, amateur musicians such as those involved in Kyōka and miscellaneous Haiku were also active, but professional musicians such as Utei Enma and Sanshotei Karaku appeared before long.
