In one of this author's works, Chubei runs off with Umegawa after breaking the seal on a package of money. The title of another work by this author refers to a high-class prostitute being bought out for life; in that work, Yohei kicks the tobacco merchant Hikosuke, and Azuma is in love with Yojibei. Another of his works sees Ri Toten gouge out his own eye before joining with the Mongol Bairoku in attacking the armies of Go Sankei and the title character, an ex-fisherman formerly named Watonai. He also wrote a (*) play in which the oil merchant Kuheiji swindles Tokubei, leading Tokubei and his lover Ohatsu to go to the Wood of Tenjin to kill themselves.
