Kanezo - Nisai - Showa - KOI-7262461

This Showa from breeder Kanezo immediately catches the eye due to the powerful distribution of deep red Hi and developing Sumi on a crystal clear white base. With a length of 42–45 cm and as Nisai (two-year-old) Japanese koi, this fish offers a beautiful combination of current appearance and future potential. SKU: KOI-7262461.

Features of this Showa

What stands out immediately is the triple Hi distribution: an intense red pattern on the head, one on the shoulder, and one towards the tail area. The Sumi is nicely spread and clearly in development, with multiple deep black accents that highlight the dynamic character of Showa. The Shiroji is bright and uniform, making the contrast powerful and clean.

The build is nicely balanced: a straight backbone, tight-fitting and even scales, and a healthy, glossy skin surface. The fins are symmetrical and slightly transparent, with subtle sumi indications on the pectoral fins that enhance the overall appearance. The eyes are bright and alert — signs of vitality.

Unique details that distinguish this koi: a sharp sumi pattern just below the lateral line that elegantly accentuates the length, and a white pattern on the forehead that makes the face open and fresh. In the pond, this Showa will stand out due to its rhythm of colour blocks and high contrast, making it eye-catching in both clear and naturally filtered water.

As a Showa, you can expect that the sumi will deepen further and round out in the coming seasons, while the Hi stabilises. This development makes this Nisai extra interesting for enthusiasts who enjoy following the growth and refinement of pattern and colour.
