This 10-inch Doitsu Sanke Butterfly Koi blends sharp pattern clarity with elegant, flowing fins. The scaleless (doitsu) body enhances contrast, allowing the vibrant hi (red) and developing sumi (black) to stand out cleanly against the bright shiroji (white base).
A bold, well-defined hi pattern anchors the head, creating immediate visual impact, while secondary sumi markings emerge along the dorsal line and body for added depth. The reduced scaling gives this koi a smooth, polished appearance, making each color zone appear more vivid and refined.
The butterfly (longfin) trait elevates this fish further, with extended pectoral and caudal fins that move fluidly through the water. The fins are well-formed and translucent, adding graceful motion and increasing its presence in the pond.
With strong skin quality and room for sumi development, this koi offers both current appeal and future progression—especially desirable in doitsu Sanke longfin varieties.
