Information

Hikawa Kiyoshi is one of the most popular male Japanese Enka singers in Japan. He is also known as the "Prince of Enka" because of his young age. Unlike most Enka singers, he rarely performs while wearing a kimono. Instead he usually sings dressed in Western clothing. He appeals to a variety of age groups and is popular among people in their twenties who don't usually listen to Enka.

Hikawa Kiyoshi is a semi-regular guest on many Enka-oriented shows, including NHK Song Concert and the annual NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen. He also records pop music under the name KIYOSHI.
