Onoe Kikugorō V is a Actor born on 4 june 1844
Onoe Kikugorō V (五代目 尾上菊五郎, Godaime Onoe Kikugorō, 4 June 1844 - 18 February 1903) was a Japanese Kabuki actor, one of the three most famous and celebrated of the Meiji period, along with Ichikawa Danjūrō IX and Ichikawa Sadanji I. Unlike most kabuki actors, who specialize in a particular type of role, Kikugorō, as a kaneru yakusha, played both tachiyaku (male heroes) and onnagata (women) roles and was best known for his roles in plays by Kawatake Mokuami. Kikugorō was also known as one of the chief actors in the "modern" sub-genre of kabuki plays known as zangirimono ("cropped hair plays"), featuring Western-style clothes and hairstyle.
Kikugorō was a popular figure in ukiyo-e woodblock prints, especially in those by Toyohara Kunichika. He was also featured on Japanese postage stamps, and performed in one of the first motion pictures ever made in Japan, "Momijigari", as the demon princess.
The "Ten Old and New Plays" (新古演劇十種, shinko engeki jisshu) associated with the Onoe family were chosen by Kikugorō V and his son Onoe Kikugorō VI, and include many of the plays for which Kikugorō V was himself most famous.

"Promenade sous les feuillages de l'érable" (紅葉狩, Momijigari) est un film japonais tourné en 1899 par Shibata Tsunekichi et sorti en 1903. Le guerrier Taira no Koremochi se rend à Togakushi-yama, montagne située dans la province de Shinano pour admirer le changement de couleur des feuilles en automne, en particulier celles de l'érable japonais. En réalité, il est venu chercher et tuer un démon qui tourmente Hachiman, la divinité de la montagne. Il rencontre une princesse nommée Sarashinahime et boit un peu du saké qu'elle lui offre... Il s'agit de l'enregistrement des acteurs kabuki Onoe Kikugorō V et Ichikawa Danjūrō IX dans une scène de la pièce Momijigari. Danjūrō était à l'origine opposé à l'idée d'apparaître sur film mais fut finalement convaincu que ce faisant il ferait un don à la postérité. Sauf découverte d'un autre film, Momijigari est le plus ancien film japonais dont il existe encore une copie.
