16cm Japanese imported Beni Kikokuryu - Aokiya - QT-11 - 22

16cm Japanese Imported Beni Kikokuryu – Aokiya Koi Farm

This 16cm Japanese Imported Beni Kikokuryu from Aokiya Koi Farm is a striking metallic koi variety featuring a dramatic combination of deep black (sumi), vibrant red (beni), and bright white coloration displayed across a sleek Doitsu-style body. The reflective metallic skin and sharp contrast between the colors create a powerful yet elegant appearance that has made this variety a favorite among serious koi collectors.

At 16cm, this young Beni Kikokuryu displays excellent skin quality, a balanced body shape, and exciting potential for continued refinement. The bright metallic white base enhances the intensity of the developing sumi and beni, while the smooth Doitsu body provides exceptional pattern clarity. As the koi matures, the sumi is expected to deepen and become more defined, while the beni may continue to refine, producing even greater harmony, contrast, and visual impact.

Imported directly from Japan and selected from the QT11 batch, this Beni Kikokuryu has been carefully chosen for its healthy body structure, premium skin quality, strong metallic luster, and outstanding genetic potential. One of the most desirable characteristics of this variety is its evolving appearance, allowing collectors to enjoy the continued transformation of its colors and pattern throughout its life.

Raised by Aokiya Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder known for producing premium-quality Nishikigoi, this Beni Kikokuryu represents the exceptional craftsmanship and breeding excellence associated with authentic Japanese koi. With proper nutrition, excellent water quality, and attentive care, this koi has the potential to mature into a breathtaking centerpiece with enhanced brilliance and refined coloration.
