Hi Utsuri are bold koi with a jet-black base and strong red markings over the top. The contrast is eye-catching and gives them a powerful look. If you want something with presence, Hi Utsuri do the job.
Selection is centred on achieving balance between hi and sumi. Both colours need to carry weight across the body, with preference given to koi where neither dominates or fades.
We focus on fish with deep, stable hi and sumi that is well-placed, allowing the pattern to flow cleanly from head to tail. Skin quality is assessed to ensure both colours present sharply without blurring.
Pattern placement is critical, particularly across the head and shoulder area, where strong positioning sets the tone for the rest of the fish.
Body conformation is selected to support long-term development, ensuring the koi maintains its presence as it grows.
This selection is built around strength and control, offering Hi Utsuri that hold their impact over time.
