To the beginner it can seem quite confusing-and even to an informed enthusiast it can be difficult to remember every name applied to the various Koi forms, the more so because all terms used are not accepted, even in Japan. Each Koi is a unique fish and no two are quite the same. Koi can be divided into broad categories based on their markings and colors. Koi fish names are in Japanese, they relate a great deal to the natural world around them. Many of the terms applied to Koi derived from the names of flowers or birds, mountains or animals, plants or features of a landscape. Unique Koi can be described in many ways and each way is no less correct than any other, it being purely ones opinion on the features of such a Koi. The very cult of the Japanese Koi Fish is derived from the Japanese love of the Kohaku.

It is a white Koi where red appears in varying patterns, and each of these patterns has its own name. A really outstanding Kohaku is rarely seen because most will fall short on one point of detail or another, so when viewing Kohaku in your dealers tank do not expect to find perfect specimens. The desirable points are as follows:
