The Kodama Commitment to Quality

Taro Kodama, president of Kodama Koi Farm describes the 6 ways that their family’s experience and traditional values deliver consistent results and special access to the highest quality Nishikigoi in the World. This commitment to quality koi is what sets us apart.

🤝 We Value Our Established Relationships W/ The Top Japanese Breeders

“Over the years, my father, Koi Master Mamoru Kodama, and I have fostered many lasting relationships with top Japanese Koi breeders. My father and I meet these old friends to handpick every single koi that enters Kodama Koi Farm. It brings my father and I so much joy to go back home, speak in Japanese, and negotiate with old friends. Even after 50 years, it still amazes me how strong our relationships are with them and the incredible koi we have been honored to raise.”

🌊 State Of The Art Koi Facilities In Hawaii

“When I decided to leave Japan to provide the US and Canada with top quality koi, I took with me our family secrets and turned them into Kodama Koi Farm. After my father and I hand select each gorgeous koi from Japan, they begin their vacation in Hawaii. As one of nature’s living and growing beauties, it is critical to have the right facility for raising beautiful and healthy koi. They live in mineral rich water like their birthplace in Japan because volcanic rock is perfect for healthy growth. Our 12-acre koi farm in Hawaii makes us one of the world’s largest operations for Japanese Koi.”

🏆 We Pass On Our Generations Of Knowledge

“Since I was a little boy in Japan, my father ingrained in me that it is a privilege to raise and and sell the most beautiful high quality koi. It has been an honor to apply the lessons he taught me every day over the past 50 years. We are committed to educate our team with this same knowledge and tradition that my father passed on to me with the intention of sustaining the highest quality as we bring you the most beautiful koi.”

🛡️ We Are Dedicated To Koi Health & Use a Strict Quarantine System

My father always stressed the importance of koi health. After buying koi from only trusted breeders, our new koi arrivals would spend three weeks in quarantine under careful examination. The quarantine of koi ends with a KHV (Koi Herpes Virus) testing. Just as we need to trust the home and care that our koi receives, you need to trust the quality of the koi you purchase. At Kodama Koi Farm, we put our best efforts to ensure our koi are safe and healthy before sale.

🇯🇵 We Only Offer Genuine Japanese Koi From Niigata

“Growing up in Japan, my father instilled in me the Kodama family commitment to only offering genuine Japanese Koi from their birthplace in Niigata. It honors the legacy and purity of these beautiful creatures. I promised him that I’d remain true to our family tradition and never breed koi myself, but only import high quality Nishikigoi from top Japanese breeders. As a Kodama, we proudly present our Japanese culture for these “Living Jewels” from the mecca of Japanese Koi.”

🎓 Experienced Staff Available for Questions

“Similarly to how we handpick each koi, we also carefully select each member of our dedicated staff. The managers have spent time in Japan or a long time on Kodama Koi Farm learning about raising and nurturing koi. Not only have they cared for thousands of koi, but they also have maintained our 3 million gallon ponds. In addition to that, our managers have monitored the strict quarantine process for KHV and maintained the diet of thousands of koi. You can rest assured that each question you have about pond and koi maintenance will be answered honestly from firsthand experience.”
