Kin Matsuba koi are among the most vibrant varieties in the Matsuba family. Kin is the Japanese term for “gold.” This koi certainly lives up to its name, boasting a metallic yellow-gold body. Superimposed on that bright base is the Matsuba traditional net-like scale pattern with bold black centers in each scale. The result is a koi that literally and metaphorically shines in any pond.
They are part of the Hikarimuji group, known for monochromatic features with metallic luster. Kin Matsuba retains that tradition with a twist of textured contrast while maintaining a vivid and powerful presence. Their strong, symmetrical bodies and bright colors make them perfect focal features in small-sized garden ponds or larger collections of koi.
At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, we source Kin Matsuba from reputable Japanese breeders like Otsuka, Marusei, and Maruhiro. These farms have gained fame for producing koi with harmonious patterns, rich hues of gold, and dependable growth. If you’re looking for a koi that combines elegance and dazzle, Kin Matsuba offers golden energy with classic style. Shop our selection of Kin Matsuba online today and add one to your collection!
