Kiyoharu Mori (森 清治, born 30 October 1968), better known by his given and stage name, Kiyoharu (清春) is a Japanese singer, songwriter, and guitarist, known for his vocal work with  Kuroyume and  Sads. In 2003 he began his solo career, performing as both a singer, and guitarist.

Kiyoharu's musical career began in the 1980s as a member of independent bands, Sus4 and later Garnet. After the disbandment of Garnet in 1990, Kiyoharu, as well as former Garnet bassist, Hitoki, formed  Kuroyume. Kuroyume began in the beginning days of the visual kei movement. They progressed from a typical dark image and sound, to a heavy sound influenced by punk rock. The band ended as only a duo with Kiyoharu and Hitoki remaining. After tension on how the band should be managed and health problems for Hitoki, the duo ended the band in 1999.

Kiyoharu picked up again with his musical career, forming  Sads in 1999. Sads produced a post-punk sound with a heavy surf rock influence. The band eventually formed their own record label, Fullface Records, in 2001, releasing their own material on the label. The label would sign its first act outside Sads,  Merry, for their first album Gendai Stoic. Sads' drummer, Eiji Mitsuzono announced his departure from the band in 2003, leaving the band on an indefinite hiatus.

After the pause in Sads' activities in 2003, Kiyoharu began releasing solo work. His debut album, Poetry, was released in 2004, showcasing not only his vocal skills, but his talent as a guitarist as well. He has collaborated with many artists, including  PIERROT frontman, Kirito. In 2006, Kiyoharu released two singles, as well as a new album, Vinnybeach -Kakuu no Kaigan-, followed by two long, promotional tours. The following single, "Slow", was featured as the opening song for the anime series The Wallflower. He released another studio album, Forever Love, in 2007. It is dedicated to his father, who passed away. Kiyoharu released "Aibu" in early 2008, and in May the next single, "Samidare", was released.
