The Japanese grosbeak (Eophona personata) or Ikaru is a finch native to the East Palearctic.

It is also sometimes referred to as the Japanese or masked hawfinch due to superficial similarities to the well-known Eurasian species.

The adult grosbeak has a large black marking extending from the nape to the chin and ear-coverts to the neck.

The alternate subspecies (E. p. magnostris) is completely migratory, breeding around the Amur, Ural and Manchurian regions and then wintering down in Hebei and Beijing, uncommonly ranging south towards North Korea.

The nominate race occurs in Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu and is not as seasonally migratory but does wander considerably during winter, largely in pursuit of food sources.
