Kikokuryu

New Koi varieties are being developed all the time, a relatively recent variety is the Kikokuryu. Always Doitsu, and metallic, these fish display a head pattern not unlike that of a ghost Koi or the helmet of those proto-Ogon's, Kin Kabuto. The pattern distribution on some examples is reminiscent of Kumonryu, although these fish can be almost any color. To set off the rather plain body, good metallic luster on the finnage is an asset.
