Japanese: 伝承によれば現在の大阪府貝塚市出身で、狩野永徳に学び、北野天満宮や豊国神社(京都市)の造営に従ったとされる。

Japanese: 観阿弥（かんあみ/かんなみ觀阿彌陀仏　正慶2年/元弘3年（1333年）-至徳(日本)元年/元中元年5月19日(旧暦)（1384年6月8日））は日本の南北朝時代(日本)から室町時代にかけての猿楽師。

Japanese: 1370年代ごろから自らの一座を率い醍醐寺での演能など、京都周辺へも進出していった。
English: At the time, dengaku (ritual music and dance at shrines and temples, rice dances, and rice festivals) was more popular than sarugaku (form of theatre popular in Japan during the 11th to 14th centuries), and men of power such as Takauji ASHIKAGA supported dengaku.
Japanese: 当時都では猿楽より田楽のほうが評価が高く、足利尊氏などの権力者も田楽を後援していた。
English: In 1375 (some believe that it may have been 1374), Yoshimitsu ASHIKAGA enjoyed the sarugaku noh performed by Kannami and his son Zeami at Imakumano, Kyoto so much so that sarugaku won the patronage of the shogun, powerful samurai families, and noble courts; and the Kanze company led by Kannami was considered a retainer to bakufu (Japanese feudal government headed by a shogun).
Japanese: ところが、1375年（永和(日本)元年1374年説もあり）に京都今熊野で観阿弥が息子の世阿弥とともに演じた猿楽能を足利義満が見物、以降、将軍はじめ有力武家、公家らの愛顧を得、観阿弥が率いる観世一座は幕府のお抱え的存在とみなされるようになる。
English: Thereafter, he spent his life performing in different areas in and around Kyoto, and providing Takigi sarugaku (sarugaku performed in the light of bonfire) at Kofuku-ji temple in Yamato area.
Japanese: このように、後半生は京都を中心に各地で活躍、大和でも興福寺の薪猿楽をつとめるなどしていたが、
English: The reason the Kanze company won popularity was because the company added new attractions, such as elegant dengaku and Kusemai (fan dance to the sound of taiko drums) that was popular in the period of the Northern and Southern Courts to Yamato Sarugaku's specialty, the impersonations, which attracted the hearts of the audience.
Japanese: 観世一座が人気を博した原因は、大和猿楽が得意とした物真似芸に、田楽の優美な舞や、南北朝に流行した曲舞（くせまい）の音曲をとりいれた新演出が、当時の観客の心に強い感興をおよばしたことだといわれている。
English: Kannami's achievements are detailed in the record left by Zeami; "Kannami had a large build, but he was elegant when performing a woman's role," "he delivered an outstanding performance as a demon in the traditional Yamato sarugaku," and "he was loved by nobles and commoners" (synopsis).
Japanese: 観阿弥の事跡は、息子世阿弥が残した伝書に詳しく、｢大柄であったが、女を演じると優美であった｣｢大和猿楽伝来の鬼の能にすぐれていた｣｢貴顕にも民衆にも愛された｣（いずれも大意）などの記述が散見される。
English: There is no written record by Kannami; however, Zeami succeeded as the head of the Kanze-za company and put into writing for future generations all he learned from his father.
Japanese: 観阿弥自身が書いたものは見つかっていないが、世阿弥が観世座をうけつぎ、後世に伝えるために、観阿弥からの聞き書きを伝書として文字化しており、
English: Books written by Zeami were greatly influenced by the ideas and actions of Kannami.
Japanese: 世阿弥の著作には、観阿弥の考えや行動が大きく影響しているといってよい。
English: Kannami left many great works, including 'Jinen koji (Noh),' 'Komachi (today revised as Sotoba Komachi)' and 'Shiinoshosho (today revised as Kayoi Komachi)," which have all been revised and no longer exist in original form.
Japanese: 作品も多く残しており、後世の改作により、観阿弥自身が書いた原型は完全なかたちで残っていないが、『自然居士(能)』『小町（現行　卒塔婆小町）』『四位少将　（現行・通小町）』などが観阿弥の原作とされている。
English: Fushimi (currently revised as Kinsatsu),' 'Eguchi (Noh)' and 'Matsukaze (Noh)' are some of the works for which Kannami composed music.
Japanese: また、『伏見（現行　金札）』『江口(能)』『松風(能)』など、曲付（旋律の作曲）を観阿弥がおこなったとされるものも、少なくない。
English: Kannami's works featured lively conversation and enjoyable songs and dance.
Japanese: 観阿弥の作品は、会話がいきいきし、歌舞の興趣がおもしろいのが特徴とされる。
English: The vitality of the pioneer days of sarugaku, before Noh moved in the direction of subtle and profound taste, can be seen through his works.
Japanese: 能が「幽玄」の方向に進む以前の、草創期の活力が感じられる作風であるとも言われる。
English: According to 'Zeshi rokuju igo Sarugaku dangi' written by Kannami's son, Zeami, Kannami's grandfather was born into the Hattori clan of Iga Province and was adopted by Nakaya in the Uda region, and Kannami's father was born from the union between him and a woman in Kyoto.
Japanese: 観阿弥の息子、世阿弥の『世子六十以後申楽談儀』には、観阿弥の祖父が伊賀の服部氏一族から宇陀の中家に養子にいき、その人が京都の女性と関係して生まれた子が観阿弥の父であるという記述がある。
English: Kannami's father was adopted by the Yamada sarugaku company in Yamato, and his mother was also a member of the Yamato sarugaku company who had come from the Sotoyama no za company.
Japanese: この観阿弥の父は、大和の山田猿楽の一座に養子にいき、観阿弥の母は同じく大和猿楽の一座、外山の座の出身であるという。
English: According to the book, Kannami's eldest brother was Tayu HOSHO, and his older brother was Seiichi, both of whom were involved in Yamato Sarugaku
Japanese: なおこの記述によると、観阿弥の長兄は宝生大夫、次兄は生市とあり、いずれも大和猿楽に関係していたと思われる。
English: In the eulogy written on the portrait of Nobumitsu KANZEKOJIRO, who was Kannami's great grandson, there is an inscription of a legendary story as follows.
Japanese: また曾孫に当たる観世小次郎信光の肖像に書かれた讃には、以下のような伝説的なエピソードが記されている。
English: In short, Kannami's father, who was the samurai of the Hattori clan in Iga, received a message from Kasuga Myoujin (the deity of Kasuga-ji Shrine) to "have your son serve god as a musical performer" and because of this he had his third son, Kannami, change his name to Uzaki and offered him to Kasuga Myojin.
Japanese: つまり、伊賀の服部氏一族の武士であった観阿弥の父が、あるとき春日明神より「子を楽人として神に仕えさせよ」との神託を受け、三男である観阿弥に結崎氏を名乗らせ春日明神に捧げたという。
English: However, according to a Ueshima family record (written copy of the document from the end of the Edo Period) that was found in 1962 in the possession of an old family in Ueno City, Mie (today Iga City), stated that Kannami was the third son of Gensei UESHIMA of the Iga Hattori clan, and his mother was Masashige KUSUNOKI's sister.
Japanese: ところが、1962年（昭和37年）、三重県上野市（現・伊賀市）の旧家から発見された上嶋家文書（江戸時代末期の写本）によると、伊賀、服部氏族の上嶋元成の三男が猿楽（能）者の観阿弥で、その母は楠木正成の姉妹であるという。
English: There is debate as to the validity of the Ueshima family document; however, a Hanshu (old name for part of Hyogo) Nagatomi family document which was found later coincides in content, supporting the opinion that the document is indeed valid.
Japanese: この説は、この上嶋家文書の真偽をめぐって意見がわかれ、後に発見された播州の永富家文書がこの文書と関係をもつことを傍証に、この記載を真とする意見もある。
English: Based on this theory, the descendent of the Nagatomi family erected a statue of Kannami's wife (Zeami's mother) in Ueno City (Iga City today) in 1975.
Japanese: ちなみにこの説をもとに、1975年に永富家子孫によって、上野市（現・伊賀市）に観阿弥の妻（世阿弥の母）の彫像が立てられた。
English: Another prevailing opinion is that the name Kannami in the Ueshima family tree could have been added at a later date and that a document from the time Kannami lived would be needed to determine its validity.
Japanese: しかし、上嶋家系図の観阿弥についての記載が後世の付会でないとするなら、決定的にそれを証明する観阿弥の同時代の文書が必要という意見も有力である。
English: Until such a document is uncovered, as Kannami's son, Zeami, wrote in the 'Sarugaku Dangi,' Kannami is most likely the third son of Taifu Yamada.
Japanese: そのような文書がでないかぎり、観阿弥の息子世阿弥が『申楽談義』で書いた、観阿弥は大和の山田大夫の三男であるという記載を信ずべきであるという意見である。
English: As of 2006, it can only be said that the relation between Kannami and Masashige KUSUNOKI is unknown.
Japanese: このように2006年現在においては、観阿弥と楠木正成の関係は不明というほかない。

English: At the Imperial Court, debate took place on the presentation of an achievement award, during which Morosuke's older brother, Saneyori, asserted that Tadafumi had not qualified.
Japanese: 朝廷では功が論じられ、兄の実頼は忠文には功がないのだから賞すべきではないと主張した。
English: Morosuke, on the other hand, stated: "When in doubt about the offense, consider giving the lighter sentence; and when in doubt about the merit, consider giving the higher award.
Japanese: これに対して、師輔は「罪の疑わしきは軽きに従い、賞の疑わしさは重きをみるべきだ。
English: His older brother, as the future head of the Fujiwara family, was always a rung higher on the social ladder, but Morosuke was praised as being an outstanding individual, so outstanding that it distressed his brother.
Japanese: 出世のほうは嫡男である実頼が常に先を行くが、「一苦しき二」（上席である兄実頼が心苦しくなるほど優れた次席の者）とまで言われた。

Japanese: 天徳(日本)4年（960年）師輔は病に伏し、当時の慣習に従い剃髪出家しようとするが、村上天皇は勅使を送り、師輔の必要たるを励まし慰留しようとした。
English: Morosuke was not able to become a Sessho or Kanpaku; however, after the death of Emperor Murakami, Anshi's son, Imperial Prince Norihira, was enthroned as Emperor Reizei, followed by Imperial Prince Morihira as Emperor Enyu, which strengthened ties with the Imperial family.
Japanese: 師輔自身は、摂政・関白になる事はなかったが、村上天皇の崩御後に安子の生んだ憲平親王が即位し（冷泉天皇）、その後は守平親王が続き（円融天皇）、外戚としての関係を強化できた。

English: He then married off his daughter TAIRA no Tokuko to Emperor Takakura and established the era in which 'only the members of the Taira clan should be considered legitimate human beings ("Heike Monogatari" ("the Tale of the House of Taira"))'.
Japanese: 娘の平徳子を高倉天皇に入内させ「平氏にあらずんば人にあらず」（『平家物語』）と言われる時代を築いた。
English: He opposed Emperor Goshirakawa, who was resisting the power of the Taira clan, and therefore started Jisho-sannen no seihen (The Coup in 1179: the third year of the Jisho era) to confine the cloistered Emperor, seized Emperor Antoku to whom Tokuko had given birth, and seized political power; however, the Taira clan's dictatorship faced strong resistance from aristocrats, temples, shrines, and warriors, resulting in the gathering of warriors by Kawachi-Genji (Minamoto clan) to defeat the Taira clan.
Japanese: 平氏の権勢に反発した後白河天皇と対立し、治承三年の政変で法皇を幽閉して徳子の産んだ安徳天皇を擁し政治の実権を握るが、平氏の独裁は貴族・寺社・武士などから大きな反発を受け、河内源氏による平氏打倒の兵が挙がった。

Japanese: 大治4年（1129年）正月に12歳で従五位下左兵衛佐に叙任されたことについて、藤原宗忠は「人耳目を驚かすか、言ふに足らず」と驚愕している（『中右記』）。
English: This was because a warrior usually started as a jo (a lieutenant, a third-class officer), and it was extremely unusual that he was appointed a suke (a captain, which was a second-class officer).
Japanese: 武士の任官は三等官の尉から始まるのが通常で、二等官の佐に任じられるのは極めて異例だったためである。
English: Kiyomori was selected to be one of the dancers at the Iwashimizu-rinji-matsuri festival in March, and the reins of his horse were attached by an attendant of Nai-daijin (Minister of the Center), MINAMOTO no Arihito, who was said to be an adopted child of the Gion no nyogo; therefore, it is believed that the Gion no nyogo served as a guardian of young Kiyomori while he was growing up.
Japanese: 清盛は3月に石清水臨時祭の舞人に選ばれるが、清盛の馬の口取を祇園女御の養子とされる内大臣・源有仁の随身が勤めていることから、幼少期の清盛は祇園女御の庇護の下で成長したと思われる。
