Ep. 7: Kikuhiko's Rakugo Fame and Sukeroku's Arrogant Behavior
Aired on February 20, 2016

Kikuhiko gains significant popularity after discovering his own rakugo style, to the point where he obsesses over the art form even while spending time with Miyokichi. In contrast, Sukeroku’s rising fame fuels his arrogance, leading him to perform stories unsuitable for his status and provoke conflicts with established masters. He frequently complains to Kikuhiko about the criticism he receives from these elders. Their interactions are interrupted by the arrival of Miyokichi, who steps in to address the situation amidst Sukeroku’s escalating misconduct and Kikuhiko’s distracted state.
