The four major roles in a Noh play are the shite, the waki, the kyogen and the hayashi. The shite is the protagonist, and his role includes the maeshite (human) and the nochishite (ghost), the shitetsure (shite's companion), the koken (stage hand) and the jiutai (chorus). The waki includes the shite's foil and his companion, the wakitsure. The Kyogen perform the aikyogen interludes in the Noh play. The hayashi are musicians who play the flutes and drums.
