He's a man, women were not allowed to be actress at the past in Japan, so men did it... and it became a tradition.

This is just my guess but maybe it has something to do with Tamasaburo III's unexpected death in New York in 1905. She died of an undiagnosed heart disease at age 22 while she was staying in NY studying Broadway theater. (And yes, Tamasaburo III was a woman -- one of the only a handful of female actresses who succeeded such traditional Kabuki name.) After her, her nephew became Tamasaburo IV (and later Morita Kanya XIV), and then his adopted son is the Tamasaburo V, the one in question.
does anyone know is Tamasaburo is still performing?
