Kabuki actors enter a dressing room depending on their appearing-time, and there were many fans waiting in front of the entrance to see their favorite actors. Often theater staffs called Okuri escorted popular actors to the theater, and they also wore gorgeous clothes that the actor's crest was printed on. Okuri were making most money by tips from audiences and actors.
