JPD History
1819
Beginning of the Yoshida family dynasty
In 1819 in Japan, the Yoshida family began breeding and selling ornamental goldfish. This laid the foundation for a centuries-old tradition known as "Kingyo no Yoshida" - one of the oldest dynasties of goldfish breeders in Japan. This period laid the foundation for expertise in fish health and ornamental fish keeping.
1895
Recognition in Ranchu breeding
By the end of the 19th century, the Yoshida family was already participating in professional Ranchu rankings and exhibitions - one of the most prestigious breeds of goldfish. This confirms the high level of breeding work and the professional status of the family in ornamental fish farming.
1940s
Yoshida Fish Farm
In the mid-20th century, the activity transformed into a structured farm - Yoshida Fish Farm. The farm specializes in professional breeding and care of ornamental fish, which became a practical basis for the further development of fish health products.
1956
Start of product manufacturing
In 1966, Yoshida Shoten emerged, marking a step from a family business to a market-oriented enterprise. During this period, ornamental fish breeding and care practices were transformed into commercial products and recommendations for aquarists.
1959
Founding of Japan Pet Design (JPD)
On July 1, 1969, the company 日本動物薬品株式会社 began operating as a manufacturer systematically developing products for ornamental fish. From this moment, what is known today as Japan Pet Design (JPD) - feeds, health preparations for fish, and solutions for stable aquarium environments - was formed.
1970-90s
Innovation and development
During these years, JPD shaped an assortment associated with Japanese precision and quality discipline. The brand strengthened its focus on prevention and treatment, developed scientific approaches to fish health, and introduced new lines for aquaristics, notably the famous Green F series. It solidified its reputation as a manufacturer trusted by koi and goldfish owners.
