Company Overview
Established in 1998, Champion Nishikigoi has grown to become the largest koi dealer in North America. Located in San Jose, California, we specialize in providing premium imported Japanese koi to enthusiasts nationwide. As a family-operated business, we are dedicated to sharing the beauty and elegance of Japanese koi with collectors and hobbyists alike.
Our History
What began over 25 years ago as a passionate backyard hobby for our founder, Tom Lai, has blossomed into a leading enterprise in the koi industry. Tom’s fascination with the vibrant colors and graceful movements of Japanese koi inspired him to turn his personal interest into a business that now serves customers across the United States.
Our Mission
At Champion Nishikigoi, our mission is to be the premier source of high-quality Japanese koi, providing exceptional products and services that exceed our customers’ expectations. We strive to foster a community of koi enthusiasts by sharing our knowledge and passion for these magnificent creatures.
Our Vision
We envision a world where the appreciation of Japanese koi transcends cultural and geographical boundaries, enriching the lives of individuals through the beauty of nature. Our goal is to continue leading the industry with integrity, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Commitment to Quality
To ensure we offer only the finest koi, Tom Lai personally visits Japan at least twice a year during the harvest seasons. His close relationships with renowned breeders allow us to secure first picks of the highest quality fish. Our strong buying power and expertise enable us to provide an unparalleled selection of koi to our customers.
Online Presence
Recognizing the need to reach enthusiasts beyond our local area, we pioneered online koi sales with the launch of ChampKoi.com. Our website has become a trusted source for premium koi, pond supplies, and expert advice. We are committed to supporting hobbyists who may not have access to reputable dealers in their vicinity.
