Breeders Specializing in Doitsu Hi Utsuri Koi Fish:
Maruhiro
Doitsu Hi Utsuri koi are known for their intense red and black coloration combined with a smooth, scaleless body. As a Doitsu version of the classic Hi Utsuri, they showcase the same bold pattern but with a cleaner, sharper look thanks to their limited scale coverage. The contrast between the fiery red and jet black stands out even more on their smooth, reflective skin.
These koi display a striking balance of color and form. Red patterns wrap across the body in broad strokes, interwoven with black sumi that reaches over the face, shoulders, and dorsal areas. Without full body scales, the color edges appear crisp and dramatic, giving the koi a powerful visual presence.
At Fitz’s Fish Ponds, our Doitsu Hi Utsuri koi come from breeders like Maruhiro, who focus on strong color development, sharp pattern transitions, and clean Doitsu lines. These koi are a great choice for collectors looking for a traditional Utsuri palette with a modern, refined finish.
