This is a brief introduction of the Kuroshio in the East China Sea (ECS). The main results of the study for this part of the Kuroshio system in recent years are reviewed and presented with emphases placed on the major features of the current structure, annual and inter-annual variations of the velocity and volume transport of the Kuroshio in ECS, and the relation between the variation of the Kuroshio in ECS and that of the Kuroshio south of Japan. And finally, an indirect relation between the variation of the Kuroshio in ECS and that of the North Equatorial Current system is suggested. It is shown that the fluctuation of the Kuroshio in ECS is also correlated with that of the North Equatorial Current and North Equatorial Counter-current. Ties of the above relation are the wind stress curl field over the tropical and subtropical belts. This is a brief introduction of the Kuroshio in the East China Sea (ECS).
