was a Japanese female waka poet of the early 8th century.
Little is known of her except what is preserved in her 29 surviving poems in the Man'yà Âshà «; all these were love poems addressed to her lover à Âtomo no Yakamochi who compiled the Man'yà Âshà « (and who is known to have had at least 14 other lovers and to have broken up with her). Nonetheless, her love poems made her famous and inspired a later generation of female poets like Izumi Shikibu or Ono no Komachi.
