Wikipedia definition
2. Shamo (chicken)​Shamo or Ko-Shamo (軍鶏 or シャモ) is a breed of chicken of Japan which was originated in Thailand. The name "Shamo" was a corruption of "Siam" during the early Edo period but has been selectively bred for several hundred years and is very different from the original stock. Shamo in reality is a strain of the Asil, taken to Siam (Thailand) and Taiwan and from there to Japan.
