17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa – Aokiya Koi Farm

Add bold contrast and authentic Japanese quality to your pond with this exceptional 17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa from the renowned Aokiya Koi Farm. This striking tri-color koi features dramatic black (sumi), vibrant red (hi), and crisp white (shiroji) patterning displayed over a smooth Doitsu (scaleless) body. The reduced-scale appearance enhances the clarity of each colour, creating a clean, high-definition pattern that makes the Doitsu Showa one of the most visually captivating koi varieties.

At 17cm, this juvenile Doitsu Showa displays excellent body conformation, premium skin quality, and a well-balanced early pattern. Its smooth skin provides exceptional colour definition, allowing the sumi, hi, and shiroji to stand out with remarkable sharpness and contrast. Imported directly from Japan and carefully selected from the QT9 batch, this koi has been chosen for its healthy condition, strong body structure, premium bloodlines, and outstanding long-term development potential. Bred by Aokiya Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder renowned for producing high-quality Nishikigoi, this koi is an excellent choice for both collectors and hobbyists.

Doitsu Showa are highly prized for their dramatic appearance and continuously evolving pattern. As this koi matures, the sumi is expected to strengthen, expand, and become more defined, creating even greater balance between the black, red, and white markings. The smooth Doitsu skin further enhances this transformation, allowing the colours to appear exceptionally vibrant throughout the koi's development.

With proper water quality, nutrition, and care, this premium Japanese Doitsu Showa will continue to develop a stronger body, deeper colour, and more refined pattern, becoming a magnificent feature koi with exceptional collector appeal, outstanding future development potential, and lasting beauty for years to come.
