About
Bekko Koi represent a work of art of Japanese ornamental fish breeding, distinguished by their striking two-color pattern combining a solid base color with graceful black sumi markings. Available in three enchanting variants - Shiro (white), Aka (red), and Ki (yellow) - each Bekko showcases distinctive black patches that create a mesmerizing contrast against their primary color.
These refined creatures trace their lineage to Taisho Sanke breeding, though they’ve earned their own prestigious status in the koi world. The hallmark of a premium Bekko is its unblemished head, free from sumi markings, combined with symmetrical black patch patterns adorning its body. The most sought-after specimens display balanced, well-distributed sumi markings that complement rather than overwhelm their base coloration.

While Bekko may be less common than some other varieties, their simple yet striking appearance has captured the hearts of collectors worldwide. The challenge of finding specimens with perfect pattern balance and color intensity, particularly in Ki and Aka variants, has made them highly prized among enthusiasts who appreciate their understated grace.
