Father Justo Kazariya was a Japanese convert to [[Christianity]], and a priest active in [[Macao]] and elsewhere in Southeast Asia.

Born in [[Nagasaki]], he entered the [[Jesuit]] seminary at Arima in [[1585]], and was granted membership in the Jesuit order in [[1590]]. Kazariya spent the next 25 years or so in various places in Kyushu, before leaving for Macao in [[1614]]. He was formally ordained as a priest in [[1624]], and engaged in missionary activity in [[Quang Nam]] (Cochinchina) and Cambodia for the remainder of that decade, until his death in [[1629]] or [[1630]].
