Kojijū (小侍従; 1121–1202 CE) (also Matsuyoi no Kojijū)^[1] was a waka poet and Japanese noblewoman active in the late Heian period.^[2]^[3]

Her father was Ki no Mitsukiyo, and her mother was the poet Hanazono Sadaijinke no Kodaishin.^[4]^[5]

As a lady-in-waiting, she served the twice-empress Fujiwara no Tashi (who was wife, successively, to Emperor Konoe and Emperor Nijō), as well as in the court of the retired Emperor Takakura.^[5] Additionally, she took part in poetry contests organized by Emperor Go-Toba.^[6]^[4] During this time, courtiers were expected to be skilled poets, and a great deal of court life involved composing and exchanging poetry, as well as participating in poetry contests.^[1]^[4] Kojijū is designated a member of the Female Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry (女房三十六歌仙, Nyōbō Sanjūrokkasen). She left a private collection of poems titled the Kojijū-shū.^[7]

Contemporaries noted her for her especial skill in composing poems that exactly suited the situation, particularly when writing a verse as a response to someone else's verse.^[6]

In 1179, she became a Buddhist nun.^[5]
