Tancho (丹頂) History

Tancho Kohaku, Tancho Showa, and Tancho Goshiki are gorgeous snowy white koi with a large Hi marking on their heads. The position of the Hi marking is very important and should be well proportioned on just the head.

The round Hi needs to cover as much area as possible between its eye and nose, without covering the eye or the nose.

The edge must be sharp, and the coloration must be deep red.

The Hi should not spread to the shoulders or back, and the white body should be free of any imperfections. Selecting top-quality Tancho koi fish requires careful attention to these details to ensure their beauty and value.
