The Japanese robin (Erithacus akahige, formerly Luscinia akahige) or komadori is a songbird. Recent research suggests that the East Asian robins belong in a new genus uniting them with some East Asian Luscinia members such as the Siberian blue robin.[2]

The name "Japanese robin" is also sometimes used for the red-billed leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea). The specific name akahige is, somewhat confusingly,[according to whom?] the common name of its relative Erithacus komadori in Japanese.[citation needed]
