As others have stated, you really cannot tell how a shiro will turn out when you buy them that young. My Omosako shiro that won Young Champion last weekend looked absolutely BUTT UGLY as a tosai. Ray Abell showed me an article in a Japanese Koi magazine of my shiro comparing it from tosai to nissai. As a tosai it had hardly any visible sumi and the most awful looking yellow head. But it look at it now!

Good luck with yours.
