noun
touring; road show; being on the road
Refers to entertainers, theatrical troupes, or performers traveling from place to place for shows, often with a slightly rough, grassroots connotation.
若手芸人はドサ回りで腕を磨く。
Young comedians hone their skills by touring small venues.
劇団は全国をドサ回りしている。
The theater company is touring all over the country.
noun
local hoodlum; small-time thug
Slang for a petty criminal or troublemaker who operates locally, often with a rough, itinerant image. Less common than the touring sense.
あの辺りはドサ回りの溜まり場になっている。
That area has become a hangout for local hoodlums.
The origin is uncertain. ドサ may be a mimetic word suggesting roughness or a dialectal element, and 回り means 'going around'. The term likely arose in the entertainment world to describe low-budget, itinerant performances.
