The list of Japanese birds used by BUBO Listing is the Annotated Checklist of the Birds of Japan, as published on the Birds of Japan website, and produced by members of the Japan English Language Birders Group, Kantori. This has recently been updated to follow IOC taxonomy.

Although English and scientific names are currently shown as standard within BUBO Listing, the Japanese names of each species are also included and can be viewed upon data entry by hovering the mouse over the English name. Moreover, these names are also listed below.
