Marusei

Ki Matsuba koi are a bold, eye-catching variety known for their sunny yellow base color and dark scale reticulation. The name breaks down to “Ki,” meaning yellow, and “Matsuba,” referring to the black pinecone pattern that develops from the dark centers of each scale. Unlike their metallic cousin, Kin Matsuba, Ki Matsuba has a flat, non-reflective finish that makes the reticulated pattern appear sharper and more defined.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we select Ki Matsuba koi from Maruhiro and Marusei for their rich, consistent yellow color and clean, symmetrical netting. Available in both scaled and Doitsu (scaleless) varieties, they add bold contrast and vibrant dimension to ponds of any size. Browse our collection and bring home a koi that balances brightness with striking patterning today.
