Doitsu meets metallic

Kirin koi combine the smooth scaleless (Doitsu) body of a Kikusui-type fish with a metallic base, producing a koi that reads almost like polished lacquer under pond light.

Skin, scales, and lustre

Because there are no scales to hide behind, skin quality is everything. Look for a mirror-clean body, symmetrical dorsal scaling, and lustre that carries across the whole fish — head, back, and tailstock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Kirin koi hardy?+

Yes, when kept in stable water. As with all Doitsu koi, provide shade and consistent temperature to protect the exposed skin.

Do Kirin koi hold value?+

Strong bloodlines from Japanese breeders retain and often increase in value as the fish grows and the metallic finish matures.
