Ki no Tomonori (紀 友則; c. 850 – c. 904) was an early Heian waka poet of the court and a member of the sanjūrokkasen or Thirty-Six Poetry Immortals. He was a compiler of the Kokin Wakashū, though he certainly did not see it to completion as the anthology includes a eulogy to him composed by Ki no Tsurayuki, his cousin and colleague in the compilation effort. Tomonori is the author of several poems in the Kokinshū, and a few of his poems appear in later official collections. Read more on Wikipedia
