Index of Characters Portrayed in Kuniyoshi’s Warrior Prints

Kuniyoshi portrayed nearly 1,000 different characters in his warrior and historical prints. The information below is primarily drawn from Kuniyoshi: The Warrior-Prints by Basil William Robinson (Cornell University Press, Ithaca, NY, 1982) and its unpublished supplement. Additional information about a particular single-sheet print (beginning with the letter S) may be found by following this link, and additional information about specific triptychs and diptych (beginning with the letter T) may be found by following this link. Kuniyoshi occasionally altered the name of a character on a print, and such altered names appear in parentheses after the numerical designation of the print. The subject of Japanese names is extremely complex. Although many characters are listed under more than one name, please look under different names and alternate spellings if unable to locate a particular character.
