Breeders Specializing in Kijiro Koi Fish:

Sakazume 

The Kijiro koi is a subtle masterpiece of modern koi development. With origins from Niigata Prefecture’s Inland-water Experiment Station, this koi was over 17 years in the making and officially released to breeders in 2014. Its name, "Kijiro," means “light yellow,” which speaks directly to its defining color. This koi features a pale, glowing yellow body, often without strong patterning, giving it a minimalist and elegant appearance that sets it apart in any collection.

At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we select Kijiro koi from respected breeders like Sakazume for their clarity, graceful body lines, and soft coloration. Their clean, understated beauty makes them a peaceful visual element in mixed ponds or as standout centerpieces for collectors seeking something distinct. Explore our collection and bring home a piece of modern koi history.

KIJIRO KOI FISH FAQS: COLOR, ORIGIN, GROWTH, AND POND LIFE

What is a Kijiro koi? A pale yellow koi born from decades of breeding.

+

Kijiro koi are a light yellow variety of Nishikigoi developed in Japan over a 17-year research period. Their soft, even coloration and lack of distracting patterns give them a clean, modern appeal.

Where did the Kijiro variety come from? Niigata’s quiet innovation.

+

This koi was developed by the Inland-water Experiment Station in Niigata Prefecture. It was released to Japanese breeders in 2014 and remains a rare find outside of expert collections.

How big do Kijiro koi typically grow? Full-bodied and graceful.

+

Like most koi, Kijiro can grow to 26–30 inches when given proper space, water quality, and a well-balanced diet. Their subtle coloring often improves in vibrancy as they mature.

Is the Kijiro koi good for beginners? Yes—low pattern, low stress.

+

Kijiro koi are hardy and easy to maintain, especially because their even coloring makes it simple to monitor for skin or health issues. Their calm appearance also blends well in peaceful pond settings.

Do Kijiro koi get along with other koi? Quiet charm, easy company.

+

They’re peaceful swimmers and social like all koi. Their light hue contrasts beautifully against darker or patterned varieties in a mixed pond.

What should I feed my Kijiro koi? Nutrition for natural color.

+

A quality koi pellet that supports skin health and growth is ideal. You can supplement with fresh vegetables or color-safe foods to help maintain their subtle yellow tone.

Can Kijiro koi live in small ponds? Yes—just mind their potential.

+

While juveniles are fine in smaller environments, adult Kijiro will thrive in larger, well-aerated ponds. Their soft color really shines when they have room to move.

Is the Kijiro koi rare? Still new, still exclusive.

+

Yes. Because it was only released to breeders in 2014 and takes years to develop well, Kijiro remains limited in the global market. A healthy specimen is a quiet showstopper in any pond.

Why should I buy Kijiro koi from Fitz’s Fish Ponds? Selected for clarity and form.

+

We carefully choose Kijiro koi for their smooth yellow tone, proportionate form, and calming presence. These koi bring minimalist beauty and deep lineage to your pond or collection.
