** In ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' the main protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, has a tattoo on his back that shows a carp that has ascended up the waterfall and became a dragon, signifying his rise from the rock bottom into the Arakawa family. It's also something of an ActorAllusion since Ichiban is voiced by Nishikiyama's VA.

If you read his name under Japanese naming conventions, then it sounds like "kasu ga ichiban", meaning "lowlife to number one". It's also something of an ActorAllusion since Ichiban is voiced by Nishikiyama's VA.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'': This trope is why the {{Animal Motif}} of the wandering samurai, [[Characters/HololiveHolostarsEnglish Josuiji Shinri]], is the koi fish. The story he tells at the start of his debut is the legend about a koi that kept swimming upstream and leapt up a waterfall with the gods turning it into a dragon for its efforts, upon which he relates the koi's determination as a lesson to constantly strive and improve. Fittingly, his fanbase is represented by a stylized koi fish wearing a miniature version of [[AllAsiansWearConicalStrawHats his conical straw hat]].

* In one of the versions of ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', the game's creator accidentally made carp far too powerful: their default bite attack did as much damage as a wolf's and due to a bug in the skill system, they could increase their stats by swimming. Undead carp were even worse: [[FlyingSeafoodSpecial they can walk on land]], so you were either screwed or [[AttackAttackAttack very brave]] if you tried building a fortress near them. Later versions dialed their power back a great deal. Then aimed attacks were implemented, and fish became dangerous again (''sturgeon'' are the new aquatic dwarf-killers).
