Two bulbuls are found in Japan. The Chestnut-eared Bulbul (Ixos amaurotis) is known as the ヒヨドリ hiyo-dori, written 鵯 in Chinese characters. The Chinese Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) is known as the シロガシラ shiro-gashira 'white head', written 白頭 'white head' in Chinese characters.
The ヒヨドリ hiyo-dori is also known as ヒヨ hiyo. The -dori is, of course, from tori meaning 'bird'. Both hiyo-dori and hiyo are written 鵯.
