Koi fish aka Nishikigoi (Cyprinus carpio), are descendants of common carp. Originally from China in the 17th century, Koi fish were mostly brown in color and were farmed in rice paddies. Spreading to Japan, the Japanese took notice of brighter colors in some fish and decided to breed those into more species.
There are about 27 different variety of Koi, there are sub varieties within those.
Japanese Koi have always been known as the highest quality. The common misperception in the Koi industry is that US Koi are not the same quality as Japanese Koi. US breeders have worked strenuously in the past few years to improve the quality of their bloodlines and are proud to say that their Koi fish are now at the same standard.
