In Japanese, the normal term for a wild duck is カモ kamo, written with the Chinese character 鴨 (less commonly 鳧). As the second term in a combination, カモ kamo generally becomes ガモ -gamo. Occasionally the terms カモドリ kamo-dori (鴨鳥 = 'wildduck-bird') or アシガモ ashi-gamo (葦鴨 = 'reed-wildduck') may be seen. Note that domestic ducks are known in Japanese by the completely different name of あひる ahiru, written 家鴨 'domestic duck' or 鶩. The written form 家鴨 is from Chinese, where 鴨 yā is used for both wild and domesticated ducks.

The Mandarin duck is known as the オシドリ oshi-dori, written 鴛鴦 as in Chinese.

The mergansers are known as アイサ aisa, written 秋沙 'autumn sand'.

Whistling ducks are known as リュウキュウガモ ryūkyū-gamo (琉球鴨) 'Ryukyu wildduck', reflecting the fact that Japan's only dendrocynid is found in the Ryukyu islands in the far south.

Wild geese are generally called ガン gan, a Chinese borrowing written 雁 in characters. The native term is カリ kari, also written 雁, which originated in imitation of the birds' cry, and is more likely to be found in poetry. A much less common term is カタイトドリ kata-ito-dori, written 片糸鳥 and meaning 'yarn thread bird'. The domesticated goose has its own name, がちょう ga-chō (鵝鳥), which is from the Chinese word for 'goose', 鵝 é.

The swans are known in Japanese as ハクチョウ haku-chō, written 白鳥 'white bird'. Haku-chō is the on-reading (Chinese-style reading) of the characters 白鳥, suggesting that the name was borrowed from Chinese, but in fact the Chinese do not use the name 白鳥 'white bird' for the swans. It is more likely that haku-chō represents a 'fancy reading' of the native term シラトリ shira-tori (meaning 'white bird' and also written 白鳥). Another name is スワン suwan from the English. For the curious, black swans are ornithologically known as コクチョウ (黒鳥) koku-chō or 'black birds'.

CULTURAL

In Japanese haiku, wild geese (がん gan, かり kari, or かりがね kari-gane) are a season word for late autumn. The wild duck or kamo 鴨, on the other hand, is normally a season word for winter, unless it is a 通し鴨 tōshi-gamo or 'sojourner wild-duck', when it becomes a season word for summer.

The Japanese word カモ kamo colloquially refers to a gullible dupe or easy mark. To emphasise the point, Japanese will often use the jocular expression カモがやって来た、ネギをしょって kamo ga yatte kita, negi o shotte, 'a wild-duck's coming, and it's brought the shallots with it!' (i.e., ready for cooking).
