Koda - Nisai - Tancho Showa - KOI-7261323

This Tancho Showa from breeder Koda immediately draws attention with a beautifully round, sharply defined Tancho hi-spot on its forehead. The bright shiroji (white) and classic sumi accents (black) over the head and flanks give this koi a stylish, calm appearance. With a length of 35–38 cm and as a Nisai, this is a young Japanese koi that can still develop beautifully. (SKU: KOI-7261323)

Features of this Tancho Showa

What immediately stands out is the perfectly round, uniformly red Tancho spot, beautifully centred on the forehead. The base is bright white with visible skin sheen; the scales are tight and even, indicating strong skin quality and good care. Along the dorsal line runs sumi with light interruptions – typical for a developing Showa – while subtle sumi accents are also visible in the chin area and in the pectoral fins, with a neat start towards motoguro. The fins are symmetrically shaped and the eyes are clear.

In the pond, the combination of crystal white shiroji, deep red Tancho, and balanced sumi creates a timeless contrast. The Tancho spot draws the eye in an elegant manner, ensuring this koi remains identifiable even in a group. As the fish matures, the sumi may further emerge and refine, while the shiroji often appears even purer. The Tancho spot is beautifully defined and shows stability; with good water quality, it usually retains its appearance.

About breeder Koda

Koda is a renowned Japanese breeder from Niigata, known for koi with bright shiroji, powerful sumi, and a solid build. Tancho Showas are a selective choice within the Showa segment: it requires craftsmanship to achieve such a beautiful balance between Tancho hi, sumi, and shiroji. This fish demonstrates exactly that Koda signature: calmness in the pattern, neat skin quality, and an appearance that radiates class in the pond.
