He was born Minoru Ōno (大野 穣), in a little town in Hokkaidō, to a fisherman. He was very poor because of the effects of World War II, and he was forced to work while he studied.
When he was about to graduate from high school, he decided to become a singer. His debut single was called "Bungacha-Bushi," which was released in 1962.
He has many famous songs, including "Namida Bune" (1962), "Kyōdai Jingi" (1965), "Yosaku" (1978) and "Kita no Ryōba" (1986). His 1965 song "Kaerokana" was written by lyricist Rokusuke Ei and composer Hachidai Nakamura. He is very popular in Japan partly due to his looks of a physical laborer, and he mostly sings the spirit of Japan's working class and rural laborer. He often appears on Kōhaku Uta Gassen, a TV program at the end of the year where many major Japanese singers gather to perform.
Kitajima released single "Fūfu Isshō" (夫婦一生, lit. "Couple in a Lifetime"?) on January 1, 2010 at the age of 73. It debuted at #10 on the Japanese Oricon weekly single charts. It became the first single to reach Top 10 by a solo artist in his 70s in Oricon charts history.
Although Enka is becoming less popular with the younger generation, he is still Japan's most famous singer. He does a lot of concerts overseas as well, and he is contributing a lot of work to the culture of Japanese music.
In addition to his singing career, Kitajima acted in the role of Tatsugorō on the television series Abarenbō Shōgun. During the quarter-century life of the series, he also sang its theme songs.

函館の女
北島三郎 Lyrics
はるばるきたぜ 函館へ
さかまく波を のりこえて
あとは追うなと 云いながら
うしろ姿で 泣いてた君を
おもいだすたび 逢いたくて
とてもがまんが できなかったよ
函館山の 頂で
七つの星も 呼んでいる
そんな気がして きてみたが
灯りさざめく 松風町は
君の噂も きえはてて
沖の潮風 こころにしみる
迎えにきたぜ 函館へ
見はてぬ夢と 知りながら
忘れられずに とんできた
ここは北国 しぶきもこおる
どこにいるのか この町の
一目だけでも 逢いたかったよ

山岡信幸
Only first verse.
I'm sorry in my poor English.
I've just come to Hakodate from a distance,
beyond the reversing wave.
(Hakodate is a port town in the north of Japan.)
Though I had said to her "Don't pursue me",
I wanted to see her whenever I recall her behind crying.
I could't put up it any more.
Harubaru kita ze Hakodate e.
Sakamaku nami wo norikoete.
Atowa ouna to iinagara,
Ushiro sugata de naiteta kimi wo
omoidasu tabi aitakute
Tottemo gaman ga dekinakatta yo.

俺はロック畑だけど、この声量と歌いっぷりは称賛に値する。
聞いていて気持ちが良いです。元気になる方が多いのも頷けますね。
マイナーキーの演歌とは違います！
