In Real Life

A male Japanese bush warbler (Horonis diphone cantans) calling in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Photographer unknown.

Japanese bush warblers are a small Asian passerine bird which is more often seen than heard. It resides year-round in Japan (except for island of Hokkaidō, to which it is a summer migrant) and the Philippines. During the summer months it can also be found in Manchuria, Korea, and central China. In winter, the bush warbler can also be found in southern China and Taiwan. Between 1929 and 1941, it was introduced to Hawaii via the island of Oahu and has since spread throughout the main Hawaiian islands, establishing itself as a naturalized species.[1]

The distinct singing call of the Japanese bush warbler has lead to it becoming a popular cage bird in Japan. It is a popular motif in Japanese poetry, including waka, haiku, and renga, and in poetry is commonly associated with the ume flower.

For many years, the Japanese bush warbler was classified within the genus Cettia, giving it the scientific name of Cettia diphone; however, in 2012 Cettia was split, and the Japanese bush warbler was transferred into the genus Horonis.[2][3]
