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 in a new genus uniting them with some East Asian Luscinia members 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.
