This paper is based on the JELS lecture entitled “Kamigata Rakugo and Dodoitsu and Phonetics” in Muroran Institute of Technology on September 2, 2016. I explained ‘Dodoitsu’ in ‘Kamigata Rakugo (the west comic story)’. Dodoitsu is the fixed form poetry with 26 mora in the pattern of 7-7-7-5.
The main contents are as follows.
(1) In Toki Udon (Time wheat noodles), it is understood the personality of two caracters named Sêroku and Kihachi by Dodoitsu.
(2) When the storyteller speaks Dodoitsu that does not sing, it is divited into 7-7 and 7-5, based on the middle prosodic phrase.
