Hi Mike,
This pic was taken in 2002 from the first batch of Tosai to come into the UK. They were bred by Miyatora and the name means 'Spring Thunder' so I am told.
There were ginrin as well as normal ones available. The reports, one year on, from those that bought them, confirm your suspicions about the asagi genes coming through, but that is a particular problem in my part of the UK.
Several were bought by known show fanatics and I have never seen one appear at any show in this vicinity.
