Since then, he has successfully given the first solo Rakugo performance at the Nippon Budokan, a three-night solo performance at the Kabuki-za Theater, a solo performance at the Shinbashi Enbujo Theater, and a thirty-day consecutive solo performance at the Hakuhinkan Theater.
As an actor, he has given a number of successful solo performances, including the lead role in the Shinjuku Koma Theater's "Koi, Koi, Ukere Shinigami", as well as the TV period drama "Sanzoku ga Kakeru ！", the NHK historical drama "Atsuhime" as Tadahiro Konoe, "Ganshi Kanpei" as Mitsuhide Akechi, and "Kirin ga Kuru" as Kakujo, the Tendai zamoto (master). He also has a deep knowledge of classical music and Jazz, and is currently the MC for BS Teletext's "Ongaku Jyousaten", introducing a wide range of music and performers. Recently, he has been holding shinobue JAZZ live performances and giving solo performances on the shinobue flute.
As for his writing activities, in 2022, the 100th anniversary year of Bungeishunju, he published a rakugo collection "The Day Kikuchi Hiroshi Becomes Rakugo," in which he adapted Kikuchi Hiroshi's short stories into rakugo, as one of the 100th anniversary books. In November 2022, he performed the first ever one-month performance of Kabuki ＆ Rakugo "Collaboration Chushingura" at the main performance hall of the National Theatre, Tokyo, attracting attention from various quarters.

This year, he will continue to perform together. While always respecting the traditional art of rakugo, he continues to take on new challenges, and at the same time, he is committed to spreading rakugo and passing it on to future generations.
