Kawai Arowana was founded in the year 2000 and now stands proudly as a brand with over two decades of heritage. Its founder, Mr. Oh Kok Peng, began his journey in the Arowana world purely out of passion. What started as a personal hobby eventually grew into a retail outlet, Kawai Aquarium, located in Bayan Lepas, Penang.
A decade later, this passion led to the establishment of a full-scale breeding facility. In 2010, Kawai Arowana Farm was built in Bukit Merah, Perak — one of Malaysia’s most renowned origins of the Asian Arowana. Today, the company carries more than twenty-one years of experience in Arowana breeding, distribution, and export.
The second generation successor, Mr. Oh Kai Liang, continues the legacy by modernizing the business and bringing the brand into the digital era. Under his leadership, the brand identity was streamlined to “KAWAIARO”, a name designed to be distinctive, memorable, and globally friendly. Through active engagement across social media and e-commerce platforms, the brand has expanded its reach to customers worldwide.
With continuous growth and innovation, KAWAIARO aims to build a trusted reputation as a reliable, transparent, and professional Arowana wholesaler. With decades of experience and a strong breeding foundation, the company provides high-quality fish supported by excellent services at fair and competitive standards.
