Tatsumi played a comedian role on stage.  Mankichi (Tatsumi)  was an honest and hard-working palanquin bearer.  While his partner, Senkichi (Dia) was lazier than Mankichi.  But he was good-looking.  Mankichi's first love was broken by Senkichi... 
The story titled "Kagoya Monogatari" (Palanquin Bearers' Tale) was heart-warming.
This is a picture of Tatsumi making a speech after the play.
