Historic interpreter in Japanese What is the Japanese equivalent / job title of a historic interpreter? If there's no equivalent job title in Japanese, what's the closest phrase for it? Essentially, historic interpreters recreate history by dressing and acting as historic figures. They usually work in museums, parks, battlefield recreation sites, etc. Other common names for the job ar historical actors and historic speakers. I've never heard of this job before in either language. Direct translation would be or something along the lines of that but that sounds like a language interpreter that specializes in history. Does this job have a name in Japan?

I don't think there is a widely-known Japanese noun for this profession.

* Some theme parks have employees in a historical costume (e.g., there are lots of ninja and samurai walking or performing in ). They are simply called , , or , but none of them are specific enough. Some of them do provide guided tours, but most do not have deep academic knowledge.
* Descriptive expressions that can be used in news articles include , , etc.
* strictly refers to someone who translates languages orally, so makes no sense. (If a time machine is invented in the future, there may be people with such a job name.)
