The large Yokohama fowl originated in Japan. They were exclusively bred for tail qualities and little is known about the bloodlines that went into the making of this breed. It is, however, almost sure that Malay Game Fowls played a dominant role in the shaping and making of the Yokohama. The first birds were imported into Europe (Germany) in around 1870 where they were freely crossed with the Phoenix and Shamo Game. The bantam variety was a purely German breed product. The Yokohama, like the Phoenix and the Sumatra Game, belong to the game and long tail breeds.
