Matsumoto Kōshirō V in the Role of Matsuōmaru is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III. Created in the 19th century, this print is part of the genre of actor portraits known as yakusha-e, which focuses on kabuki actors, capturing them often in character from various plays. Matsumoto Kōshirō V (1764–1838), a prominent kabuki actor of the late Edo period, is depicted in the role of Matsuōmaru, a character from a kabuki play.

Utagawa Kunisada was one of the most popular and prolific ukiyo-e artists of his time, and his works are characterized by their vibrant coloration and dynamic composition. In this print, Kunisada portrays Matsumoto Kōshirō V with a striking expression and in elaborate costume, indicative of the actor's role and the theatrical style of kabuki. The actor's intense gaze and the intricate detailing of the clothing reflect Kunisada's skill in capturing the drama and emotion of kabuki theater.

The print serves as both a work of art and a historical document, providing insight into the cultural and theatrical practices of the Edo period. It is a testament to the popularity of kabuki and the celebrity status of its actors, as well as to the artistry of ukiyo-e printmakers like Kunisada, who brought the vibrant world of Japanese theater to life on paper. As with many ukiyo-e prints, this image would have been part of a larger series, often produced in collaboration with writers, publishers, and the actors themselves, to promote upcoming performances or to commemorate popular plays and roles.

Today, Matsumoto Kōshirō V in the Role of Matsuōmaru is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural significance, offering a window into the rich tradition of Japanese performing arts and the history of ukiyo-e printmaking.
