氷川きよし

Kiyoshi Hikawa. Japanese enka singer, born 6 September 1977 and originally from Fukuoka in southern Japan. Hikawa's great talent and notoriety belie his age; he is unusually young for Enka, a genre in which successful artists and fans alike traditionally fall into a more advanced age group. Thanks to his youth and friendly demeanor, Mr. Hikawa has been at the forefront of a recent increase in popularity of Enka among Japan's younger generations.
