I think it's called KANOKO.

Kanoko is used for scales with a hi-colored centres.
Kanoko can be fund on Sanke, Showa, Kohaku and Asagi.

There are two "types" of Kanoko-pattern.

First these Koi who have a kanoko-pattern since birth, this koi can be very attractive.

The other posibility to have a Kanoko-pattern on a Koi, is fading Hi. Hi is fading from the edges to the centre, so 1 or 2 years, befor the complete disappearance of Hi, a Koi can be described as a Kanoko.

Koi from the first alternativ, can be expensiv, because good Kanoko as rare.

The problem, who knows for sure, if you see a Koi at your dealer, if Kanoko is fading Hi, or a good qualitiy rare "born-Kanoko".
