Life
Uehara was born as Rikiji Matsumoto in Ōdate, Akita Prefecture, Japan. He graduated from Senshu University, and made his professional debut with the song "Tsukimi Odori" (月見踊り, lit. "Moon-viewing Dance") under the Japanese division of Polydor Records in 1936. His famous songs included the 1937 song "Ruten" (流転, lit. "Stream-rolling"). His vocal style, called kobushi, became popular as the more emphatic form among modern enka singers.
Uehara became a soldier in 1943, went to New Guinea, and was killed in battle on July 29, 1944.
