Kabuki (歌舞伎, かぶき) is a classical form of Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is known for its heavily-stylised performances, the often-glamorous costumes worn by performers, and for the elaborate kumadori make-up worn by some of its performers.
The expression kabukimono (歌舞伎者)referred originally to those who were bizarrely dressed. It is often translated into English as "strange things" or "the crazy ones",
