Yoshiko Hiratsuka (平塚よし子) was born in Misato, Miyagi Prefecture (formerly known as Kogota Town), Japan, on 27 August 1915.

In her youth, she attended a dressmaking school, walking two hours each way. After getting married, she raised six children. She loved singing since her younger days, and even at the age of 110, she enjoyed singing children’s songs and enka at her nursing home.
