Thanks for the tips, bmwracer !!!!!!!!

One other tip: when you do your scan, does it have a setting for magazines or "reduce moire?" If you use that setting, it'll reduce or eliminate the splotchiness or uneven-ness of the final scanned image. :)

For those who are visiting this thread for the first time, the gallery actually starts here.

He's now the most popular among the young performers of Kabuki, thanks to his uncommon talent. And his popularity has been increasing year after year, due to the leading role on the Taiga Drama "Musashi" and his incredible performances on stage:

Current stage name: Ichikawa Ebizo XI (ŽsìŠC˜V‘ ), since May 1, 2004

Real name: Horikoshi Takatoshi

He's the elderest son of the current Ichikawa Danjuro. He first appeared on stage when he was only 5 years-old, playing the role of Togo, in the play "Genji Monogatari". He actually debuted as an actor in 1985, when he was 7 years-old and received the name of Ichikawa Shinnosuke VII, while his father received the name Ichikawa Danjuro XII.
In 1994, he made his debut on TV in the NHK Taiga Drama "Hana No Ran", in which he played the young Ashikaga Yoshimasa (this same character would be played by his father, Danjuro, later in the drama). Playing his love interest was an also debutant Matsu Takako. Takako was 17 years-old, Shinnosuke was 16.
In 1999, he would play for the first time the prestigious role of Benkei, in the play "Kanjincho", one of the 18 favorite plays of the Ichikawa Danjuro line of actors. In 2000, he played, also for the first time, another prestigious role: Sukeroku, in the play "Sukeroku Yukari No Edo Zakura", also one of the 18 favorites. In the same year, he played the Prince Hikaru Genji in the play "Genji Monogatari".
In 2001, he became the image of Ito-en's Oi-ocha CMs and started to be known outside the Kabuki World. But he would become a celebrity outside Kabuki in 2003, when he played Miyamoto Musashi in NHK Taiga Drama "Musashi".
In May 2004, he succeded to the prestigious name of Ichikawa Ebizo XI (the second most important of his line of actors). He made a tour across Japan, doing his "shumei" (name changing) performances in Tokyo (Kabuki-za Theater), Nagoya (Misono-za Theater), Kyoto (Minami-za Theater), Eastern and Western provinces. He also gave sucessfull performances in Paris in October 2004. So sucessfull he was invited to give performances in 2006 in London and Amsterdam and once again in Paris, at Opera Garnier, in 2007.
In 2006 he played his first lead role in a movie. "Deguchi no Nai Umi" ("Sea with no exit") tells the story of the baseball player Namiki Koji (Ebizo), who, during the WW II, is forced to leave the College and his career on baseball to become a pillot of a "Kaiten" (a suicide submarine).
