It is a hybrid between Kiyomi and ponkan (Nakano no. 3), developed in Japan in 1972.[1][2]
Originally a brand name, "Dekopon" has become a genericized trademark and it is used to refer to all brands of the fruit; the generic name is shiranuhi or shiranui (不知火).[1][2] Dekopon is distinctive due to its sweet taste, large size, and the large protruding bump on the top of the fruit.
In Brazil, dekopon is marketed under the brand name of Kinsei. In the US, the dekopon was released as a commercial product under the name "Sumo Citrus". In South Korea, dekopon is called hallabong (한라봉).
