== History ==
In Nagoya of the [[Meiji era]] at that time a number of theatres existed, such as the Chitose-za (Minamikuwana-cho), Shin Mori-za (Honshige-cho), Onu-za (Minami-Fushimi-cho), Hoso-za ([[Ōsu]]), and [[Misono-za]].<ref>https://ift.tt/3b270Zn> The theatre was founded under a different name originally<ref>https://ift.tt/354KYkX> in January 1883.<ref>https://ift.tt/3rNo37k>

Among the many noted actors were Nakamura Denkurō VI (1859-1923), who was born in Suehiro-chō and became of a member of the children actors troupe at the Suehiro-za.<ref>https://ift.tt/38PQXLy> Ichikawa Chūsha VII (1860-1936) and Ichikawa Danzō VII (1836-1911) appeared together in May 1909,<ref>https://ift.tt/2JCMHq3> as well as Nakamura Tokizō III (1895-1959) appeared here in May 1917.<ref>https://ift.tt/3o9O9iO>

The building was bought by [[Shochiku]], a [[cinema]] chain which has its roots in ''kabuki'' production, and converted into a movie theatre in 1927. Under its new name Shochiku-za (松竹座) it became one of the leading cinemas in town and was also used for [[revue]] shows. It was destroyed in the [[bombing of Nagoya in World War II]].<ref>https://ift.tt/3rNo37k>
