Torii Kiyohiro (鳥居 清広, d. c. 1776) was a Japanese artist of the Torii school of ukiyo-e artists.
Kiyohiro's date of birth is unknown. His personal name was Shichinosuke (七之助) and lived in the Sakaimachi area of Edo (modern Tokyo). He was registered as a student of Torii Kiyomasu I and likely studied under Torii Kiyonobu II or Torii Kiyomasu II.[1]
Kiyohiro's first known work appeared in 1751, and the last about 1764. All of his known works are benizuri-e, and though the Torii school was known for its yakusha-e actor prints, Kiyohiro also specialized in bijin-ga prints of female beauties.[1]
The Ukiyo-e Ruikō lists Kiyohiro's death date as 1776. No other evidence of this date is known.[1]
