About
The Kigoi Koi, distinguished by its stunning non-metallic solid yellow coloration, represents one of the most refined varieties in the Kawarimono class of single-colored koi. These magnificent creatures showcase a uniform, buttery yellow hue that spans their entire body, creating a striking presence in any koi pond. Unlike their metallic counterpart, the Yamabuki Ogon, Kigoi display a sophisticated matte finish that captures attention through its subtle beauty.

Developed through selective breeding of Benigoi koi, these fish have earned recognition for both their visual appeal and engaging personality.
