Kin Kikokuryu are truly show-stoppers in the koi world. They start with the metallic silvery base of a Kikokuryu, enhanced by deep black sumi markings and accented with bold yellow or orange kin highlights. As Doitsu koi, their scaleless or partially scaled body enhances the brilliance of their metallic finish. Even more fascinating: Kin Kikokuryu exhibit shifting patterns over time, giving each fish a dynamic, evolving appearance.
At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we hand-select Kin Kikokuryu koi from Ikarashi Toshinobu, Aokiya, and Marusaka for their vivid gold tones, sharp sumi markings, and clean metallic finish. These koi are a favorite among collectors looking for a fish that evolves with age and seasonal shifts, offering a constantly fresh look in the pond.
