The Ryukyu Robin (Erithacus komadori) is a bird endemic to the Ryūkyū Islands, of Japan.[2] It is sometimes placed in the genus Luscinia, but recent research suggests that the East Asian robins belong into a new genus uniting them with some East Asian Luscinias such as the Siberian Blue Robin.[3]
The specific name komadori is, somewhat confusingly, the common name of its relative the Japanese Robin in Japanese.
