Dainichi Koi Farm is well-known as one of the most premium Japanese koi breeders. This celebrated farm has mastered bloodlines and produced koi that consistently win the highest prizes at major shows since the early 1900s, including at the prestigious
All Japan Koi Show. Dainichi has become a household name among serious koi collectors with roots in Japan, cultivating their world-renowned reputation through a legacy of meticulous breeding and careful selection of koi bloodlines from generation to generation.
Dainichi’s reputation revolves around its Jumbo varieties:
Kohaku,
Showa, and
Sanke. These types of fish are characterized by thick-set, powerful bodies and vibrant chunks of deep red color typical of their kind, along with pristine white skin. Dainichi Showa stands out in this regard, featuring stunning sections of black on the fish’s body, which create a strong contrast with vivid colors and demonstrate the development of these patterns over time.
