Real-world information[edit]

A real-life herabuna

The Japanese white crucian carp, as it is known in America, is a freshwater dwelling fish that originated in Japan. Now spread through most of Asia, it was thought to be a species of wild goldfish.

In Japan, this fish is more commonly known as the Gengoro-buna (ゲンゴロウブナ) in a general context, and is considered an Endangered species. It's called Hera-buna (ヘラブナ) when referring to a cultivated variant, bigger in size, and mainly used in sports fishing as a substitute for another type of carp; the Nigoro-buna (ニゴロブナ).

The 7th edition for the Japanese dictionary "Kōjien", explains that the origin of this species name comes from "the fish caught by the Katada Fisherman Gengorō, which he offered as a tribute to the then-lord of the Castle Azuchi (Oda Nobunaga)".

The "buna" in its name, as with other similarly named carps, comes from the word "funa" (フナ), used to refer to the Carassius genus of carps.More information on this topic is available atWikipedia.
