Born Kazue Kato (加藤和枝) in Yokohama, she was an accomplished singer by the age of seven, and appeared in film for the first time at age 12. Between 1949's Kanashiki kuchibue and 1971's Onna no Hanamichi, she appeared in over 60 movies.
In April of 1987, on the way to a performance in Fukuoka, she suddenly collapsed. Rushed to hospital, she was diagnosed with bilateral femoral necrosis brought on by chronic hepatitis. Until August she was confined to hospital and eventually showed signs of recovery. She commenced recording a new song Midaregami in October, and in 1988 performed at a concert called Fushichou konsaato (Phoenix Concert) at the Tokyo Dome. Against overwhelming pain in her legs, she performed a total of 39 songs while assuring her fans that she had completely recovered. However, on 24 May 1989, having been re-admitted to the Juntendou hospital in Tokyo, she died from interstitial pneumonitis at the age of 52.
In July 1989 after her death, she became the first female recipient of the National Prize of Honour (国民栄誉賞) for her longstanding contributions to the music industry.
In 1993, the Misora Hibari-kan opened in Arashiyama, Kyoto. Its popularity with fans and tourists has endured through to the present.
Her most famous song, "Kawa no nagare no yō ni," (1989) was voted #1 in a 1997 NHK poll of the best Japanese songs of all time.

美空ひばり Lyrics
一度決めたら 二度とは変えぬ
これが自分の 生きる道
泣くな迷うな 苦しみ抜いて
人は望みを はたすのさ
雪の深さに 埋もれて耐えて
麦は芽を出す 春を待つ
生きる試練に 身をさらすとも
意地をつらぬく 人になれ
胸に根性の 炎を抱いて
決めたこの道 まっしぐら
明日にかけよう 人生一路
花は苦労の 風に咲け
これが自分の 生きる道
泣くな迷うな 苦しみ抜いて
人は望みを はたすのさ
雪の深さに 埋もれて耐えて
麦は芽を出す 春を待つ
生きる試練に 身をさらすとも
意地をつらぬく 人になれ
決めたこの道 まっしぐら
明日にかけよう 人生一路
花は苦労の 風に咲け

No ha aparecido ningun cantante mejor que Misora Hibari hasta ahora. Su voz consolaba a la gente perdida de la guerra y le dio mucho animo para vivir.
