Sanshi Katsura
Katsura Bunshi VI (六代 桂 文枝, Rokudai Katsura Bunshi?) is a popular TV presenter and rakugo artist in Japan. Bunshi Katsura VI is his stage name and his real name is Shizuya Kawamura (河村 靜也, Kawamura Shizuya?).
His former stage name was Katsura Sanshi (桂 三枝, Katsura Sanshi?). Sanshi received this name from his shishô (master) and one of the celebrated postwar Kamigata Rakugo greats, Katsura Bunshi V (五代目 桂 文枝, Godaime Katsura Bunshi?, 1930-2005). Sanshi's "san" came from, originally, being Bunshi's third deshi (pupil) and "shi" came from the second half of shisho's stage name. Sanshi succeeded his shisho's stage name in 2012.
