Possibly a stupid question, but is Yunalesca actually played by a woman? Or just a guy who's really got the voice down?

I think all of them are guys. It’s a culture thing.

@@tenlshi Sure, I get that. It's Kabuki after all. That's why I was surprised that Yunalesca really does seem to be played by a woman. Or, like I say, a man who is extremely good at portraying a woman.

@@user-qs4ik9no7y Actually, Yonekichi Nakamura plays Yuna, not Yunalesca. I did a bit more research and it seems that Yunalesca is played by Shinobu Nakamura, who is indeed an onnagata (ie, a man playing a woman).
