Ki no Tomonori (紀友則)
Ki no Tomonori in the Hyakunin Isshu.
Ki no Tomonori (c.850-c.904) was an early Heian waka Japanese poet, and also the nephew of fellow poet Ki no Tsurayuki. These 2 poets were among the 4 court poets requested by the Emperor Daigo to compile the Kokinshu (Collection of Poems Old and New) poetry anthology. Included in the Kokinshu is a eulogy to Ki no Tomonori by Ki no Tsurayuki.
