There is no such thing as a fighting fish that originated in Japan. However there is a fighting fish that evolved in tropical Asia and that is probably the fish you are refering to. Its' proper name is 'Betta splendens' and its expected life span under good conditions is around 3 to 4 years. When kept in the tiny containers some people insist on using to house them, they rarely live for much more than 2 years
