Tomio Umezawa Concert: Hokuto City Chamber of Commerce and Industry 20th Anniversary Commemorative Event

About this event

A concert by Tomio Umezawa will be held as a commemorative sponsored project for the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Hokuto City Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Tomio Umezawa was born on November 9, 1950, in Fukushima City, Fukushima Prefecture. With his father Kiyoshi Umezawa, the founder of the popular theater troupe Umezawa Gekidan, he made his stage debut at the age of 1 year and 7 months. Since then, he has been active as the troupe's star actor, and his white-makeup female roles (onnagata) in particular caused a social phenomenon due to their beauty, earning him the nickname 'Tamasaburo of the downtown.' In 1982, his song 'Yumeshibai' became a major hit as a singer, and he appeared on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen. Currently, while leading nationwide tours as the troupe's leader, he is widely loved across diverse fields including TV variety shows, news program commentaries, and commercials. This performance will be held as part of the commemorative projects for the 20th anniversary of the founding of Hokuto City, the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Hokuto City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Hokuto City Kanaderu Association.
