Well, there's the late Misora Hibari. She had the most amazing voice, and is an absolute legend.
"Kawa No Nagare No You Ni" - My favorite.
Here's another clip I like. Misora Hibari in the 1950 movie Tokyo Kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaqnfrKwV7I
Aside from that, my favorite Enka singers are Ishikawa Sayuri, Kitajima Saburo, and Sakamoto Fuyumi.
