“Mr. Hayashi purchased costumes from a Kabuki troupe that appeared in Seattle around 1924. He took care of all the costumes and directed the Kabuki Drama Group. Members included: T.R. Goto, Kiki Hagimori, Ted Tomita, Kaz Yokoyama, Yo Katayama and Kimi Jinka.” - Kiki Hagimori, shibaiperformer
While the audience settled into their seats, the performers finished getting dressed and applied their makeup. Preparation took place in the basement of the Nippon Kan, since the theater lacked space backstage.
