Kikokuryu is a striking and relatively modern variety of Nishikigoi, known for its dynamic and shimmering appearance. It’s a metallic or “Hikari” variety, created by crossing a Kumonryu with a Platinum Ogon, resulting in a koi with both a metallic sheen and changing patterns. Kikokuryu typically have a base color of shiny silver or white, over which black patterns (Sumi) develop and change over time. The combination of metallic luster and the evolving Sumi patterns make Kikokuryu a captivating and sought-after variety in the world of koi.
