Yamada Kiyoyasu was a ''[[kokugaku]]'' scholar from [[Satsuma han]].
A retainer to the [[Shimazu clan]], he studied poetry under [[Kagawa Kageki]], and classical texts under [[Ban Nobutomo]].
Amid factional disputes within the domain government in [[1849]], Yamada backed [[Shimazu Nariakira]] to succeed [[Shimazu Narioki]] as lord of Satsuma; after Nariakira's faction's efforts failed, Yamada was one of over forty people forced by Narioki to commit suicide. He did so on 12/3 that year (Jan [[1850]] on the Western calendar). He is buried just outside the Shimazu clan family cemetery at [[Fukusho-ji|Fukushô-ji]] in [[Kagoshima]].
