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
剣は相手を 倒せるけれど
人の心は 斬られまい
強いばかりが 勝ちじゃない
泣ける弱さが 人間なのさ
淋しさがああ
淋しさが 白刃を染める
剣に生きよか 情けに死のか
いつも迷いが つきまとう
ままよ 誇りも 剣も捨て
俺も生きたや 女のために
別れてもああ 別れても
忘れるものか
剣は勝っても いつかは滅ぶ
これがはかない 世のさだめ
待つか 進むか 退くか
耐えて貫ぬく 孤独の旅路
ひとすじのああ ひとすじの
男の道よ
人の心は 斬られまい
強いばかりが 勝ちじゃない
泣ける弱さが 人間なのさ
淋しさがああ
淋しさが 白刃を染める
剣に生きよか 情けに死のか
いつも迷いが つきまとう
ままよ 誇りも 剣も捨て
別れてもああ 別れても
忘れるものか
剣は勝っても いつかは滅ぶ
これがはかない 世のさだめ
待つか 進むか 退くか
耐えて貫ぬく 孤独の旅路
ひとすじのああ ひとすじの
男の道よ

男歌、女歌、悲しい歌、明るい歌、哀愁を秘めた歌、喜び歌、 どんな心の心情でも歌いきる。 女王、「ひばり」のものすごさ！ 今晩もパワーをいただきありがとうございました。

这个时期正是美空云雀演艺生涯的高峰阶段，用尽全身心热情的演唱大家，歌唱技巧娴熟历练，极富震撼力，个子不高，音域宽旷，无愧是昭和的歌姬。
