Tributes

He gave his name to the jellyfish genus Kishinouyea Mayer, 1910, with a preoccupied name. Kishinouyea has been also used by Yoshio Ôuchi to describe a praying mantis genus that he quickly renamed Kishinouyeum in 1938, and that could be a junior synonym for Phyllothelys.[4]

Kishinoella (with species Kishinoella rara (Kishinouye, 1915) and Kishinoella tonggol (Bleeker, 1851)) is a synonym genus name to describe Thunnus tonggol (Bleeker, 1851) (accepted name).

The epithet kishinouyei is used to refer to Kamakichi Kishinouye in species names.

The American ichthyologist John Otterbein Snyder honoured him in the name of the gurnard Lepidotrigla kishinouyi, although he left the e out for phonetic reasons.[5]
