When I think about Toshio Sakai (Matsunosuke) what usually comes to mind is Koi. When I think of Koi I think of the mountains in the Ojiya-Nagaoka area. The Isawa region is a Hot Springs Resort area and the Isawa Nishikigoi Center is in the middle of a town. This town is not full of Koi breeders. When you look to one side of his facility you see a park and some homes. On the other side is a larger downtown area. It just seems odd to see all of these wonderful Koi in the middle of a bustling, busy town where most people have things to do that don't involve koi.
