Nowhere has the influence of Japan had a greater impact than in the names given to the various types of Koi. For the average English-speaking person not only are we unsure how the name should be pronounced but the names themselves have no meaning whatsoever. Names like Asigi and Showa have little meaning and its hard for us westerners not only to remember the name but what are the physical characteristics of the fish under each name. This is not likely to change in the foreseeable future but we should try and become a little more familiar with some of the names and their characteristics. What is important however is that you do not need to know the names to enjoy the fish!
While there are now thirteen recognised classes or types of Koi all these fish were developed from the common carp. All the classes are the result of breeding to bring out the desired features and characteristics of each of the different types. The classes described firstly in Japan are now recognised around the world. The classes are determined by the markings, colors and scales. The overall body shape also plays a part in the classifications. For those of you determined to know a little more about the classes of Koi let us look at some the classes currently recognised.
Asagi
Blue back and red sides, head light blue or white, stomach and
gills orange or red.
Showa
A black Koi with white and red markings, a black pattern on the
head.
Kohaku
A white Koi with patterns of red on the upper body.
Sanke or Taisho
A white Koi with red and black patches on the body.
Utsuri
A black Koi with white markings over all the body. There are red
and yellow versions replacing the white markings.
Karasugoi
Black fish with orange or white bellies.
Bekko
The body can be white or red, with black markings, no black
marking on the head.
Koromo
A white body with red markings. A bybrid between the Asagi and
Kohaku or between the Showa or Snakes.
Matsuba
A single-colored fish with a darker color-inlay in its scales.
Hikari Muji or Hakarimono (Ogon)
A single metallic color
