Breeders Specializing in Cha Utsuri Koi Fish: 

Marusei

The Cha Utsuri is a warm, earthy twist on the traditional Utsuri family. This koi variety combines the approachable nature and brown or bronze coloring of the Chagoi with the strong black patterning of the Utsuri line. The result is a koi with a rich, tea-colored base wrapped in sumi markings that range from soft reticulated netting to bold, artistic strokes. It brings together grounded color and striking contrast in one refined fish.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we carefully select Cha Utsuri Koi from renowned breeders like Marusei to ensure coloring and pattern consistency. These koi display optimal traits such as deep bronze skin, bold sumi markings, and a clean balance between black patterns and scalation. The strongest examples show sharp edges, solid body structure, and at times, a delicate fukurin that gives the skin an added depth and richness. Their rich contrast and composed nature make them a standout choice for koi keepers looking to bring refinement and character to their pond. Browse our current selection and bring home a Cha Utsuri with true Japanese lineage.

CHA UTSURI KOI FISH FAQS: COLOR, PATTERN, BEHAVIOR, AND VISUAL IMPACT

What is a Cha Utsuri koi? Bronze warmth with black strength.

+

Cha Utsuri are koi with a rich brown or bronze base color, inherited from the Chagoi, overlaid with black sumi markings that reflect the Utsuri influence. Their patterning and coloration give them a grounded yet bold appearance.

How does Cha Utsuri differ from other Utsuri varieties? Warm tones, softer lines.

+

Unlike Shiro Utsuri or Hi Utsuri, which use white or red as the base, Cha Utsuri stands out with its warm, earthy tone. The brown background provides the black markings with a softer, natural contrast that blends seamlessly into pond environments.

What are the Cha Utsuri koi origins & how was this variety bred?

+

This variety is a result of crossing Chagoi koi, known for their large size and docile nature, with Utsuri bloodlines. The mix offers the best of both worlds: an approachable personality and a dramatic visual presence.

How big do Cha Utsuri koi typically grow? Friendly giants.

+

They can reach up to 30 inches or more when given the proper space and diet. Thanks to their Chagoi background, Cha Utsuri are known for their fast growth and strong, sturdy frames.

Is Cha Utsuri Koi beginner-friendly? Easy and sociable.

+

Yes. They’re easy to care for and tend to be among the most sociable koi, often approaching people at the pond edge. Their hardy nature and clear markings make them a great first choice.

Do they get along with other koi? Calm, confident, and social.

+

Absolutely. Cha Utsuri koi are peaceful and tend to swim confidently in groups. Their earthy color and black contrast also pair well with more vivid varieties, balancing the visual tone of the pond.

What should I feed my Cha Utsuri? Nutrition to support growth and skin tone.

+

A high-quality growth pellet is ideal to support their size potential and skin health. Because they don’t rely on vibrant color, you can avoid heavy color enhancers and focus on overall health and clarity.

Can I keep a Cha Utsuri in a small pond? Temporarily, yes.

+

While young Cha Utsuri do well in smaller ponds, they thrive in larger, well-aerated environments where they have room to grow. Their size and movement are best appreciated in open spaces.

Why should I buy Cha Utsuri from Fitz’s Fish Ponds? Selected for color, balance, and personality.

+

We choose Cha Utsuri koi for their strong contrast, even patterning, and calm, confident presence. Each fish in our collection is evaluated for form, and the visual warmth that distinguishes this variety.
