edit- --み使い Mitsukai 08:20, 12 February 2006 (UTC). The historical figure is only known as Okuni within the context of kabuki, the art she founded. Within all other contexts (fictional, historical outside of kabuki, etc.) she is known by her full name. As the full name already exists as a redirect with a history, I requested this change.

Need more references
editI'd like to see some references for the material in this article. As far as I know, Okuni is not a historically verifiable person and the fact that she created the base for what was later called kabuki (one can hardly call it "founding") may as well be an ex post attribution.
I am not an expert in these matters, but I know enough to be able to doubt the historical accuracy of this article.
For one, Okuni might as well have been an impostor instead of a real miko. Further, I'd like to see am more critical treatment of the etymology of the word kabuki - it is by no means sure that the current way of writing it as "skills of singing and dancing" is ateji. Finally, it is to be doubted that Okuni eloborated on her form of nembutsu odori to develop it into an actual style of play. More probably, it served as an impulse for a broad range of other contemporary performing troupes or styles of performance.
Image
editI was curious about the top image on this page, which is used in a number of places on Wikipedia; I spoke with Prof. Drew Gerstle, who's an expert on kabuki and Japanese theater in general, and he's firmly convinced that this image is not of Okuni. He even gave me a name of who exactly it does depict, but alas I've forgotten the name he gave me. Just thought I ought to mention it. LordAmeth 20:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Okuni.jpg
edit
Image:Okuni.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Trivia
editThe recently re-added trivia must go. It is not referenced, completely original research, and more importantly not encyclopedic. See WP:TRIVIA, WP:IINFO, WP:OR, and WP:V. Bendono (talk) 10:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
