History Of Doitsu

Doitsugoi are koi that are not fully scaled and usually with a row of scales along each lateral line and the dorsal fin.

About 100 years ago, in 1904 Doitsugoi were imported from Germany. While Japanese carp were fully scaled, the carp from Germany had two scales.

The Doitsu were used as food because they had strong resistance against disease and very good growth rates.

Mr. Kichigoro Akiyama, a Koi breeder, observed the strong Doitsu and tried to cross it with Asagi, a variety representing Japanese koi. This began the development of the Doitsu Kohaku.

Now there are many varieties of Doitsu koi including Doitsu Showa, Doitsu Kohaku, Doitsu Sanke, and Doitsu Hariwake Butterfly.

Featured Koi: DOITSU SANKE AND DOITSU SHOWA!

Doitsu Showa is a very popular variety.
