Solution

In traditional Kabuki theater, all roles, including those of women, are played by men. This is because women were banned from performing in Kabuki during the Edo period in Japan, a rule that has been maintained to this day. These male actors who play female roles are known as "onnagata" or "oyama". They are highly skilled in mimicking the speech, movements, and demeanor of women to portray female characters convincingly. So, in Kabuki theater, the roles of women are played by male specialists.
