Ebay???....I'd have said I saw this one on the website of a California dealer. Can't say about the head. Hi emerging on the head is not too common, but if you see it, I'm sure it is coming. Otherwise, a nice Shiro.

Sumi looks a bit too finished for a koi that size, probably male? Nisai? Conformation doesn't look that good, but it's still young so hard to say.

Look in the roof of the mouth for the menware.
