Subject:Help understand new jiraya triptych by kunisada

In this Kabuki scene, Jiraya is in the center floating over the cascade. But who are the other people:two peasants (?) on the left, two female ninjas (?) fighting with a beauty (?),and an unknown man looking from above?

The Boston MFA provides some information on the right panel here:

Actors Arashi Rikan III as Yuminosuke, Iwai Kumesaburô III as Tagoto-hime, actually Teruta, and an unidentified actor.

Cheers,
Stan
