Kikokuryu

Kikokuryu (KEE-koh-KOO-roo): The Kikokuryu is a dramatic and visually striking koi variety, known for its metallic white or silver base overlaid with bold black (sumi) patterns. As a Doitsu (scaleless) koi, its clean, mirror-like skin enhances the crisp contrast between light and dark—making it one of the most eye-catching koi in any pond. Some Kikokuryu also develop shades of orange or red, adding even more depth and character to their appearance.

One of the most exciting traits of the Kikokuryu is its ability to change over time. As the koi matures, its black patterns can darken, lighten, or shift in shape—giving pond owners a living work of art that evolves year after year. This dynamic coloring, paired with its metallic sheen, makes the Kikokuryu a favorite among koi enthusiasts who want something truly unique.
