Black-eared Kite

(milvus lineatus)
Depending on which authority you prefer, this is either a full species Black-eared Kite (milvus lineatus) or a sub species of the very widespread Black Kite (milvus migrans lineatus). In Japan it is very common and was seen nearly every day on our trip often near human habitation where it scavenges garbage and fishing discards.
