Hey Mike, is there any breeders in the South that use Maruyama Kohaks in there bloodline? I think Sakai Hiroshima does, but whoelse?

Look at the first pic... the Kiwa is still pretty much Maruzome, but a lot smoother in it's run from scale to scale.

See attached pic and you'll see the areas I mean.
