Kohaku and the Japanese terms for pattern.

Kohak: White koi with red markings. Probably the most common variety. The Hi should be deep red with well defined edges where it meets the white which should be pure and bright.

Japanese terms for style of pattern:

Tancho Kohaku: is a white koi with a red spot on its head.
Inazuma Kohaku: has a continous red marking from head to the tail, but with variation.
Nidan Kohaku: has two red markings.
Sadan Kohaku: has three red markings.
Yondan Kohaku: has four red markings.
