At the World Junior Championships, Kiyose won consecutive bronze medals in the girls' doubles. In 2022 semifinals, she and partner Kokona Ishikawa lost to eventual champions, Liu Shengshu and Wang Tingge of China.[9] In 2023, she reached the semifinals again with Ririna Hiramoto, where they were defeated by their compatriots and eventual champions, Maya Taguchi and Aya Tamaki.[4]

In the team events, Kiyose contributed to Japan's bronze medal win at the 2022 World Junior Championships.[10] The following year, she was a member of the team that won the 2023 Asian Junior Championships, marking Japan's first victory in mixed team event since 2012.[11]
