Personality[]
Apparently, Urara has a strong sense of justice because she states that nothing is more upsetting for her than seeing others given preferential treatment.[2]
Rakugo Style[]
"The Art of Sensuality".
Her Rakugo style is "Oiran". A type of high-class courtesan in Japan that emerged in the Edo period, who entertained clients with sexual services and the arts of dance, music, poetry, and calligraphy with polite judgment that was considered essential to sophisticated conversation.
Like her master: Sharaku Ransaika, Urara can use words to describe an event accurately and simply, as well as interpret the characters in stories in an interesting way. Unlike her teacher, Urara uses her sensuality to captivate her audience as well as her conversation skills[3].
History[]
In 1964, in Shinjuku, Urara used to work as a waitress when a group of yakuzas would try to bother her with the excuse that she had humiliated one of the leaders of the group, at that time some young men named Issho and Shiguma who were workers at a soba shop passed by the place and seeing the girl being surrounded by yakuzas they decided to help her, having defeated all the yakuzas Urara thanked them and paid for the broken dishes of the workers as a form of gratitude.[4]
At some point, during her work as a waitrees, she meets Sharaku.[5] Being captivated by her beauty and seeing her potential, he would convince her to become a rakugoka, teaching her his knowledge and his way of making rakugo.
