Akai tori (赤い鳥, meaning Red Bird in English) was a Japanese children's literary magazine published between 1918 and 1936 in Tokyo, Japan. The magazine has a significant role in establishing dowa and doyo, which refer to new versions of children's fiction, poetry, and songs. In addition, it was pioneer of literary movements, doshinshugi and jidō bungaku (juvenile literature).
