Doitsu Tancho Showa Koi Fish

Breeders Specializing in Doitsu Tancho Showa Koi Fish:

Hiroi

Doitsu Tancho Showa koi bring together three revered traits in one elegant fish: the sleek, smooth look of Doitsu koi, the bold color balance of Showa, and the iconic single red Tancho spot. These scaleless or partially scaled koi sport dramatic black and white Showa patterns across their body, all highlighted by a solitary red circle on the head, a nod to traditional Japanese symbolism.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we select Doitsu Tancho Showa koi from Hiroi for their crisp Tancho markings, bold sumi placement, and clean, scaleless finish. This variety blends cultural significance with striking contrast and sleek form, perfect for those who appreciate minimalism with presence. Browse our collection below and find a koi that’s both refined and commanding in the water.
