The origin of Koi Ki Utsuri fish

Ki Utsuri koi fish first appeared in the early 20th century in Japan. This breed of fish was bred from Magoi (Black Koi) and Ki Bekko (Golden Koi). It wasn't until the 1930s that Ki Utsuri was officially recognized as a distinct breed of koi. Today, Ki Utsuri koi are bred around the world, with some of the most impressive individuals coming from Japan.

The beauty of Koi Ki Utsuri

Ki Utsuri koi fish is one of the favorite types of koi fish with special beauty. Owning a Ki Utsuri koi is like owning a living piece of art. This striking fish is one of the most eye-catching and unique varieties of koi in the world. The striking pattern of dark black patches against a vibrant yellow background makes it one of the most sought-after koi breeds. The colors of Ki Utsuri are usually clear and sharp, creating a strong and inviting feeling.

The colors of Ki Utsuri are usually vibrant and bright, creating a striking beauty in the aquarium with large black spots on a yellow background. These sunspots are usually evenly and symmetrically distributed over the body of the fish, creating a beautiful and attractive shape, they can also appear in many different places on the body of the fish, from head to tail, from back to belly. A beautiful Ki Utsuri will have a deep and clear black color, without blending or fading. Ki Utsuri is also a rare fish among the Utsuri varieties.

The following characteristics are essential for a quality Koi Ki Utsuri fish:

The distribution of sumi on Ki Utsuri koi can vary depending on the fish. Sumi are usually evenly distributed over the entire body of the fish, from head to tail, there are fish with sumi more concentrated in a specific area, such as sumi concentrated in the back or abdominal area. However, for a standard Koi Ki Utsuri fish, the top will have to display a clear and ideally sumi pattern called menware. This is a V-shaped or lightning-shaped sumi pattern that extends from the mouth to the top of the head.

The base of Ki Utsuri's pectoral fins should be black called 'motoguro', the clearer the root area and the better it is limited to the base. All black pectoral fins or almost all black pectoral fins are also good.

The black (sumi) color of Ki Utsuri should also be as close to lacquered black as possible and must have smooth edges (kiwa) at the junction between black and gold. The foundation of an Utsuri is sumi (black), therefore it needs to have a dense and proportional black color over the entire body and face of the fish creating a striking contrast with the sumi signs.

In high-quality Ki Utsuri, the yellow color will be appreciated if it has brightness and uniformity on the body of the koi. The yellow color should be clear and not have any other patches or color variations. A high-quality Ki Utsuri with a beautiful yellow color will increase the value of the koi fish and be sought after by koi lovers.
