The general ornithological name for the bulbuls is ヒヨドリ hiyo-dori, based on the name of the Chestnut-eared Bulbul Hypsipetes amaurotis.

1. The Chestnut-eared Bulbul is known as the ヒヨドリ hiyo-dori in Japanese, written in Chinese characters. Minus the -dori (from tori meaning 'bird'), it is also known as the ヒヨ hiyo, which is written with the same character . The name presumably derives from the bird's loud call, which in Japanese is rendered as ピーヨピーヨ piiyo-piiyo.

The choice of to write ヒヨドリ hiyo-dori appears to be based on an identification of the old Chinese names 鵯鵊 and 鵯頰, both read hikyō, with the Chestnut-eared Bulbul. (The old name 鵯鶋 hikyo, on the other hand, is identified with the a type of crow.)

2. 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. (This must be distinguished from 白頭翁 hakutō-ō 'white headed old-man', which is the Chinese name for the Light-vented Bulbul but is used in Japanese for a variety of starling.)
