full name:Kan'ami Kiyotsugu (観阿弥 清次), original name:Yūzaki Kiyotsugu (結崎 清次), pseudonames: Miyomaru, Kanze Kiyotsugu (観世 清次)
Kan'ami's career began in and formed the Yuzaki theater company, which would eventually become the School Of Noh Theater . He grew in popularity and began making trips to Kyoto to give performances. At one such instance in 1374 the Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was in the audience and was so impressed that he became his patron. Kan'ami was the first playwright to incorporate the Kusemai song and dance style and Dengaku dances (from rustic harvest celebrations). He trained his son, Zeami Motokiyo in his style and he eventually succeeded him as the director of the Kanze School Of Noh . OUTSTANDING WORKS
