Koi (鯉, English: /ˈkɔɪ/, Japanese: [koꜜi]), or more specifically nishikigoi (錦鯉, Japanese: [ɲiɕi̥kiꜜɡoi], literally “brocaded carp”), are colored varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. In recent years, there has been a trend to distinguish the East Asian Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) as a separate species among the common carp, so the scientific name koi may be changed in the future.
Carp are a large group of fish originally found in Central Europe and Asia. Various carp species were originally domesticated in China, where they were used as food fish. Carp are coldwater fish, and their ability to survive and adapt to many climates and water conditions allowed the domesticated species to be propagated to many new locations, including Japan.
The words “koi” and “nishikigoi” come from the Japanese words 鯉 (carp), and 錦鯉 (brocaded carp), respectively. In Japanese, “koi” is a homophone for 恋, another word that means “affection” or “love”, so koi are symbols of love and friendship in Japan.
