Igami - Igami

Japanese: イガミ - いがみ
Igami - Igami

Another name for the Parrotfish family of the Perciformes class of Bony Fishes. It is said that this is the way dogs and other animals fight with their teeth bared, and when a parrotfish is caught, the teeth on both the upper and lower jaws are exposed, making the face look angry, hence the name. This name is mainly used in the Kansai, Kochi, and Tokai regions.
