Bekko is a class of koi characterized by a solid base color of white, red, or yellow, with black markings called “Sumi”. These black patterns are the defining feature of Bekko koi. The quality and placement of the Sumi are key factors in evaluating these fish. Bekko koi are often appreciated for their simplicity and balance in pattern. There are three primary variants of Bekko, based on their base color: Shiro Bekko (white base), Aka Bekko (red base), and Ki Bekko (yellow base).
