One type of aikyōgen performed by the kyōgenkata in Noh. After the entrance of the maeshite in Noh, the ai playing the role of a follower tells stories of the shite in the jōza (to the back left facing the stage, next to the shitebashira), standing alone while speaking, or tachishaberi. The ai performing tachishaberi is thus known as the tachishaberiai.
