Nobuyasu Okabayashi (Japanese: 岡林 信康, Hepburn: Okabayashi Nobuyasu, born July 22, 1946)[1] is a Japanese folk singer-songwriter whose career spans more than 50 years. Often compared to Bob Dylan, Rolling Stone Japan called him an icon of Japan's politically turbulent 1960s and 1970s.[2][3][4] Okabayashi made his debut in 1968 and quickly earned the nickname the "God of Folk" (フォークの神様, Fōku no Kamisama) with his protest songs.[2][4][5] He spent 1975 to 1981 eschewing this title by experimenting with genres such as enka, pop, and new wave.[4] Inspired by the rhythms of Japanese Bon Odori and Korean samul nori, he then created his own genre in the mid-1980s and 1990s that he dubbed "enyatotto" (エンヤトット).[6]

Like the other forms of folk, protest folk was resolutely anticommercial, and yet superstars emerged: Okabayashi Nobuyasu, for example, became known as the god of folk or the Japanese Dylan.
