Koi History in the Americas

Koi were first introduced to the United States and Latin America during the mid-20th century, following post-war
trade with Japan. Hobbyists soon gathered into local clubs, many of which later joined the 日本禅林会
network to align with international judging standards.
The American chapters brought scientific precision and hospitality to the hobby, combining Japanese aesthetics with
Western innovation. Today, koi clubs from California to the Caribbean maintain strong ties to Japan, continuing
to educate, compete and connect new generations of keepers.

The following overview presents leading koi associations and friendship clubs across the Americas.
Each contributes to the unity of the global koi community by promoting responsible keeping,
regional shows, and inter-chapter cooperation.
