Biography
6th Sanyutei Enraku (6代目 三遊亭 円楽, Rokudaime San'yūtei Enraku, born February 8, 1950) is a Japanese rakugo comedian known for performing on the Shōten comedy show on Nippon TV.
He was born Yasumichi Ai (會 泰通, Ai Yasumichi) and currently uses Enraku as his stage name. He is known as a master of the Japanese comic art of rakugo, in which a single performer or storyteller appears on stage and tells comedic stories to the audience.
While a student at Aoyama Gakuin University, he began studying rakugo under San'yūtei Enraku V. His first stage name was San'yūtei Rakutarō (三遊亭 楽太郎, San'yūtei Rakutarō), until he inherited his teacher's name in March 2010.
He is a producer of the Hakata Tenjin Rakugo Matsuri, a rakugo festival held in Fukuoka city since 2007.
