It has many local names, such as Haya, Honbaya (Tokyo), Kuki (Gunma), Aiso (Tochigi Prefecture, especially during spawning season), Ida (Kyushu), Jako, Haijako (Iwate Prefecture), Zako (Niigata Prefecture), Oogai, Oogee (Miyagi Prefecture, mixed with Malta), Akauo (Nagano Prefecture, spawning season), and Akahara (Niigata Prefecture, spawning season).
