Or, in the Western form, it would be Kiyoshi Arase, because the first name comes first and then the surname (ex. Michael Jackson).

neutral  sukiezhang: Could 清 be pronounced as せい in a name as well？（If you want to use 音読み）

  -> Yes, the kanji itself can be also pronounced as せい。But in this context, since it's a one letter kanji, 99 out of 100 清s would be pronounced as Kiyoshi.
agree  Dr. M. S. Niranjan: Of course, this name is (almost) always Kiyoshi.
