Kiyonari Shibata (Japanese: 柴田 清成; born 27 March 1973) is a Japanese former track and field athlete and middle-distance runner.
He is the current Japanese record holder for the mile run, with a personal best of 3:58.89 minutes.[1] His time, set on 11 May 1996, made him the second Japanese man to run a sub-four-minute mile, after Takashi Ishii, who had done so nearly twenty years earlier in 1977.[2] Shibata's 1500 metres best of 3:39.45 minutes is also among the best times for the event by a Japanese, behind Fumikazu Kobayashi and Ishii.[3][4]
Despite his breaking a long-standing national record, Shibata only won at the Japan Championships in Athletics on one occasion, taking the 1500 m title in 1997.[5] That same year he won a gold medal in the event at the East Asian Games in a then games record time of 3:49.90 minutes.[6] The following year he won the second and final international medal of his career at the 1998 Asian Athletics Championships by finishing as runner-up behind multiple Asian champion Mohamed Suleiman.[7] He also ran at the 1998 Asian Games and placed seventh in the 1500 m final.[8]
He represented his home region, Toyama Prefecture, twice at the All-Japan Interprefectural Ekiden Championships.[9]
