Dates of birth and death unknown. Most likely a disciple of Sawamura Shirogorô II, he was recorded for the first time in the 1813 Edo hyôbanki.

Who was Sawamura Kawazô II? In the latest edition (2012) of "Kabuki Haiyû Meiseki Benran", he was recorded as a disciple of Ichikawa Danjûrô VII who held the name of Ichikawa Dankurô from 1828 to 1832 and who took the name of Sawamura Kawazô II in 1840. It was recorded in Haiyûdô Muyû's book "Yakusha Yoyo no Tsugiki" that the actor Ichikawa Dankurô later took the name of Sawamura Kawazô II. We can note that Sawamura Shirogorô III held the name of Ichikawa Dankurô I from the 11th lunar month of 1828 to the 2nd lunar month of 1833 ... so our assumption would logically be that Sawamura Shirogorô III and Sawamura Kawazô II were the same actor. Quite high probability but no way to clearly prove this assumption.
