Ancient Chinese courts have recorded large-scale farming of koi fish since at least the Tang Dynasty, with a history of more than 1,000 years, and goldfish and crucian carp have a history of more than 1,400 years.

The introduction of koi fish from China and the crossbreeding of koi fish with other carp can be dated to about 100-200 years. In the 17th century, koi fish began to be raised on a large scale in the Niigata region of Japan. Farmers working in the rice fields find some carp with brighter colors and catch them home to raise them (when the brightly colored fish are usually easier to spot and be eaten by birds or other predators).

Many of the koi color patterns were established in the 19th century, such as the famous red and white kohaku, but it wasn't until 1914 when Niigata koi was exhibited in Tokyo and some were given as gifts to the crown prince (later Emperor Hirohito) that koi could be purchased at many pet stores.
