17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa - Aokiya - QT9 - 88

17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa – Aokiya Koi Farm

This 17cm Japanese Imported Doitsu Showa from Aokiya Koi Farm is a bold and visually striking koi variety celebrated for its dramatic tri-color pattern of deep black (sumi), vibrant red (hi), and crisp white (shiroji) displayed across a smooth, scaleless Doitsu body. The absence of traditional scales allows the colors and pattern edges to appear exceptionally sharp, giving this koi a clean, modern appearance with outstanding contrast.

At 17cm, this young Doitsu Showa displays excellent body conformation, balanced pattern distribution, and strong overall development. The current arrangement of sumi, hi, and shiroji creates an eye-catching design, while the developing black pigmentation promises even greater visual impact as the koi matures. With proper nutrition, stable water conditions, and quality care, the sumi is expected to deepen and expand, further enhancing the koi's bold appearance.

Imported directly from Japan and selected from the QT9 batch, this Doitsu Showa has been carefully chosen for its healthy structure, vibrant coloration, and excellent future potential. Showa varieties are prized for their ever-improving patterns, and this young koi possesses the foundation needed to develop into a stunning adult with increased color intensity and refined pattern balance.

Raised by Aokiya Koi Farm, a respected Japanese breeder known for producing premium-quality Nishikigoi, this Doitsu Showa represents the exceptional craftsmanship and genetics that collectors seek in authentic Japanese koi. Whether you're adding to an established collection or selecting your first premium Showa, this koi offers exceptional beauty, graceful movement, and exciting long-term development potential.
