Ichikawa Ebizō
Shinnosuke, like other actors' names, is bestowed (or given up) at grand naming ceremonies called "shūmei" in which a number of actors formally change their names. A number of actors have followed a particular sequence in their stage names, following their time as Ichikawa Shinnosuke by being granted the names Ichikawa Ebizō or Ichikawa Danjūrō.
