Mike! Finnegan warned me about you! LOls . Seriously, I see your point but the fish is a winner as hi utsuri. But if it is going to distract from my point I'll substitute it with another shot of an All Japan winner when I'm done making my point here. Sumi is changing rapidly in shiro as the skin improves and becomes more gosanke in nature. The hi utsuri is being crossed and for some reason is not sacrificing the pattern as much as shiro did. And ki utsuri is noty improved much at all and is still a black based fish with dull sumi and poor yellow coloring. The exception is the ki utsuri with a dilute gene. You can tell this dilute gene from the soft pastel nature of the yellow and the unusual lack of speckling of the sumi- a very rare trait in ki utsuri sumi.
