Biography

When Kobayashi was 9 years old in 1963, she became a champion in the TBS-produced "Uta Mane Tokuhon" music variety show and was scouted by famous Japanese composer and guitarist Masao Koga. Although Kobayashi was only a grade four student, her voice was said to be exactly like well-known Japanese enka singer Hibari Misora.
One year later, Kobayashi and her family left their hometown, Niigata, Niigata and headed to Tokyo where she released her debut song, "Usotsuki Kamome".
In 1968, she acted as the heroine in "Aoi Taiyou", a TV drama produced by TV Asahi. The drama's ending song was also credited to her. However, after 1968, Kobayashi's level of celebrity dropped, thus causing her to get fewer TV appearances and other opportunities.
In 1979, her song "Omoide Sake" reached number 1 on the Oricon Singles Chart, and spent 55 weeks in that chart. The song was number 1 on The Best Ten annual chart for 1979, announced on 27 December 1979. The song became the best seller of the year, winning the 21st Japan Record Awards, and causing her to be popular again. As a result, she was asked to take part in the illustrious annual end-of-year music show "Kōhaku Uta Gassen". After 1979, Kobayashi was considered one of the most famous enka singers in Japan until now. Her more recent activity has intersected with Japanese otaku culture.
Her single "Tomarigi" reached number 4 on the Oricon Singles Chart, and spent 30 weeks in that chart. Her single "Futari Wa Hitori" reached number 11 on the Oricon Singles Chart, and spent 22 weeks in that chart. Her single "Kaze To Issho Ni" reached number 17 on the Oricon Singles Chart, and spent 19 weeks in that chart.
In July 2015, a Vocaloid called "Sachiko" was released by Yamaha based upon her voice for the Vocaloid 4 engine.
In April 2018, coinciding with the launch of her official YouTube channel, Kobayashi debuted her Virtual YouTuber persona, Virtual Grandmother Sachiko Kobayashi. At Nico Nico Chōkaigi, she collaborated with fellow Vtuber Kizuna AI on a cover of Vocaloid Hatsune Miku's song "Senbonzakura". Kobayashi also had a recurring "Virtual Grandmother" segment in 2019 Vtuber sketch comedy show, "VIRTUAL-SAN - LOOKING".
