Kigoi

Kigoi are solid non-metallic yellow koi.  Kigoi differ from Yamabuki Ogon.  Kigoi have a flat, matte, non-metallic yellow coloration, where Yamabuki have a bright and metallic yellow.

Kigoi are sometimes referred to as “lemon koi” in the American koi industry.  The most rare and sought after Kigoi, known as Akame Kigoi, have red eyes to go with the yellow body color.  The red eyes give them a very eerie look.  Akame Kigoi are extremely rare.
