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.

北島三郎 Lyrics
俺が網を引くのはよ
可愛い女房(おまえ)と子供によ
腹一杯 飯を食わすためなんだよ
坊の岬に 桃花咲く頃
今年も鰹が 鰹が来るぞ
はまらんかい きばらんかい
東支那海は 男の海よ
俺が海で死んだらよ
可愛い女房と子供はよ
どうして生きる
嵐にゃ負けるものかよ
夫婦鶯 裏山で鳴く頃
今年も鰹が 鰹が来るぞ
はまらんかい きばらんかい
沖は荒海 男の海よ
はまらんかい きばらんかい
東支那海は 男の海よ
可愛い女房(おまえ)と子供によ
腹一杯 飯を食わすためなんだよ
坊の岬に 桃花咲く頃
今年も鰹が 鰹が来るぞ
はまらんかい きばらんかい
東支那海は 男の海よ
俺が海で死んだらよ
可愛い女房と子供はよ
嵐にゃ負けるものかよ
夫婦鶯 裏山で鳴く頃
今年も鰹が 鰹が来るぞ
はまらんかい きばらんかい
沖は荒海 男の海よ
はまらんかい きばらんかい
東支那海は 男の海よ

今枕崎の宿に泊まりながらこの歌を聴いています。
明日早朝に港を歩いて、北島さんの後ろの大漁旗の船を探してみます。

当時、小学4年。母の田舎で、豆炭ごたつに入り叔父や伯母、従兄と一緒に見ていた。
縁側の窓を開けると、冷たく澄んだ空気の向こうから除夜の鐘が聞こえ始めていた。一生忘れることはない、たいせつな思い出です。

北島三郎さんの持ち歌としては珍しい浜圭介さん作曲の歌です。舟唄を作曲した浜さんと北島三郎さんの息が合っていますね。北島三郎さんが歌って生きる歌ですね。
