Kyoshi Takahama (高浜 虚子 Takahama Kyoshi , February 22, 1874 – April 8, 1959) was a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. His real name was Kiyoshi (清?); Kyoshi was a pen name. He was one of the closest disciples of Masaoka Shiki.

In 1954, he was awarded the Order of Culture by the Japanese government.

Kyoshi Island

Kyoshi island’s culture is clearly based on Japan.Starting with 京 being pronounced kyo (Chinese pronunciation: Jing) to the Kendo inspired clothes the Kyoshi warriors wear, the Japanese war fans and the presentation of the food.
