Presuming that the question refers to kiwifruit, not kiwi (a small, flightless bird of New Zealand), the answer is "no". Kiwifruit are often sliced or served with the skin on, although they do taste better without the skin.

∙ 14y agoKiwi fruit "skin" is high in phenolic compounds, such as flavanoids, which have antioxidant properties. Flavanoids, as in kiwi "skin", have potential anticancer, antiinflammatory and antiallergenic properties.
BTW - The kiwi is also called "actinidia deliciosa" or "Chinese gooseberry". It�s originally from China, but is also widely cultivated in New Zealand. In fact, it�s New Zealanders who named the fruit "kiwi" after the national emblem of the country, a tail-less bird with a long beak.
Edit - Yes, the skin of kiwi fruit is edible.
