Biography
The details of the life of the poet known as Ki no Maetsukimi (maetsukimi meaning a lord, and Ki being a noble family's name) are unknown. In Tenpyō 2 (730) he participated in a plum blossom-viewing party at the residence of Ōtomo no Tabito, then the governor (一大宰帥) of the Dazaifu.

Yūkichi Takeda's Man'yōshū Zenchūshaku (万葉集全註釈) speculates that he may have been the same person who died in Tenpyō 10 (738) while serving as co-administrator (大弐) of the Dazaifu.
