Children's Day in Japan The kabuto helmet and koi-nobori carp streamer (or banner) are traditional decorations for Japanese Children’s Day, which is celebrated each year on May 5. In ancient China, there was a belief that carp (also called Koi) swim upstream and become a dragon. Koi-nobori (literally, "leaping koi") reflect this belief too; it symbolizes success and vitality. Children’s Day Pikachu is holding a carp banner with Magikarp (a Pokémon-style carp banner!). The traditional Japanese kabuto helmet symbolizes safety and health.
