アニメ浪曲紀行 清水次郎長伝

Shimizu no Jirochou, a legendary early yakuza, built his reputation through gambling and maritime transport in 19th-century Japan. The series follows his life and exploits, blending historical drama with the traditional art of roukyoku (naniwabushi) storytelling.

Each of the ten episodes adapts a different tale from the repertoire of roukyoku performer Hirosawa Torazo II. The stories unfold over three-episode arcs, capturing Jirochou's adventures, rivalries, and the code of honor that defined his world. Through this unique narrative lens, the anime explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the clash between tradition and change.
