Kohaku (紅白)
It has been said that koi keeping begins and ends with Kohaku KOI. The history of Kohaku koi fish dates back to the 19th century in Japan when the first red and white carp were discovered and bred selectively to enhance their vivid coloration and distinctive patterns.
Kohaku History
Dedicated Kohaku Koi breeders in Niigata perfected this iconic variety. In any variety that contains red patterns, it's evaluated on an examination of its Kohaku pattern. Kohaku, Taisho Sanke, and Showa are the most popular three varieties of koi and are referred to as Gosanke.
