The Ryukyu dog (琉球犬; Ryūkyū-inu or Ryūkyū-ken) is an endangered, medium-sized, Japanese breed of dog indigenous to Okinawa and Ishigaki Island. There were as few as 400 Ryukyu as of 2015. Unlike dogs such as the Kai Ken, the Ryukyu dog is not protected by the Nihon Ken Hozonkai, but instead is protected by the Ryukyu Inu Hozonkai.
