      It is well known that a real hypersurface of a Kähler manifold \((\bar M,J)\) naturally admits an almost contact metric structure. For the unit normal vector field \(\xi\) to the real hypersurface M of \(\bar M,\) we define a 1-form \(\eta\) which is dual to \(J\xi\) and for the Kähler 2- form \(\Omega\) of the ambient manifold M we define a 2-form \(\phi\) in such a way that \(\phi(X,Y)=\Omega (iX,iY),\) where i is immersion of M into \(\bar M.\) If, for some differentiable non-zero function \(\rho\), \(\rho\phi =d\eta\), the real hypersurface is called a contact hypersurface. Contact hypersurfaces of \({\mathbb{C}}^ n\) are completely classified by the reviewer when \(n>2\) [Tôhoku Math. J., II. Ser. 18, 74-102 (1966; Zbl 0145.187)]. The author studies contact hypersurfaces of \({\mathbb{C}}^ 2\) and proves that a compact, connected contact hypersurfaces of \({\mathbb{C}}^ 2\) is a sphere.
