Shinoda is all about power koi, heavy-bodied Doitsu and Gin Rin Showa, often with a strong sumi presence. Their female Showa in particular can be spectacular. Definitely a breeder that stands out for quality and presence in the pond.
Selection focuses on strength of body and depth of colour. We prioritise koi with strong frames, allowing them to carry volume and maintain presence as they grow.
Sumi quality is a key factor, with preference given to fish where the black is deep, stable, and well-positioned.
Gin Rin is assessed for consistency and brightness, ensuring it enhances rather than disrupts the overall finish.
This is a breeder known for impact, with selection focused on koi that hold that presence long-term.
