Kiyohara no Yorinari was a Heian-period Japanese courtier and scholar associated with the Kiyohara clan, a lineage historically noted for its contributions to classical scholarship and academic tradition. Though detailed records of his individual life are limited, he is remembered within the context of a family devoted to learning, literature, and the transmission of scholarly knowledge in early Japan. Some later traditions have linked figures like him to patronage of study and academic pursuit, though such associations reflect popular veneration rather than firmly documented religious doctrine.
