Zen Kajihara (梶原 善 Kajihara Zen;[1] born 25 February 1966 in Okayama, Japan), is a Japanese theatre actor.[2] Originally a member of the Tokyo Sunshine Boys theatrical troupe,[3] he now works mainly with the Gekidan Shinkansen troupe.
He is known for being very short in stature, but very noisy and wild on stage, specializing in comedy. He had a problem reading kanji (Chinese characters) and insists that his roles have long, complicated, difficult-to-remember names.
