He went to Edo in Fall 1799 with Arashi Hinasuke II. He became disciple of Segawa Kikunojô III in Edo and, most likely, received the name of Segawa Matsunosuke*. He took the name of Segawa Hamajirô in August 1801, as part of a grand shûmei for the Hamamuraya guild at the Ichimuraza.

(*) depending on the source, the name is different: it is Segawa Matsunosuke for "Kabuki Nenpyô", Segawa Matsunojô for "Kabuki Jinmei Jiten" and no name at all for the Ritsumeikan University Actors Database; we've decided to choose Segawa Matsunosuke. |
