Two Elements and Two Techniques for the Narrative Generation of Kabuki

Survey, Analysis, and Synthesis for Geino Information System

Abstract

The author has surveyed and analyzed the elements and techniques in kabuki from the viewpoint of narrative generation, in particular in the framework of a Geino Information System (GIS) with an Integrated Narrative Generation System (INGS). The objective of this paper is to select two kabuki elements, person and story, and two kabuki techniques, naimaze and tsukushi or zukushi, to consider their combinatorial, or multiple, usage. As a result, the author presents an example that contains the automatically generated and edited descriptions of an actor, the synopses of two works, and a scenario edited using the techniques of naimaze and tsukushi. This example corresponds to a story in a certain point of time in the circular process of GIS with INGS.
