Haruo Minami

Haruo Minami (三波春夫 Minami Haruo, July 19, 1923 – April 14, 2001) was an enka singer in postwar Japan.

He was born Bunji Kitazume (北詰文司 Kitazume Bunji) in Nagaoka, Niigata. Hideo Murata was regarded as Minami's rival, as they both came from rōkyoku backgrounds.

In October 2016 his voice was released for software synthesizer CeVIO Creative Studio.
