The Magikarp Salesman (Japanese: コイキング売り Koiking-uri) is a tricky man who is always getting James to buy one of his Pokémon. He is voiced by 石塚運昇 Ishizuka Unshō in Japanese.

His first appearance was on the S.S. Anne in EP015 selling Magikarp to anyone foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce and make the buyer rich. James was foolish enough to buy one which later evolved into a Gyarados. Later he would trade his Weepinbell for James's Victreebel. He has also appeared in Hoenn, selling Hoppip disguised as Chimecho and also selling Magikarp disguised as Feebas, both of which Team Rocket bought.

He tries his golden Magikarp scam on Professor Oak in H004.

He makes a cameo when Ash captures Aipom in AG181.
