I think most of you know but just in case
The Kohaku named GC is owned by an American, bred by Sakai Fish Farms of Hiroshima
(congrats Ken!) and getting the two together was Joel Burkhardt of Pan Inter Corp. This koi has steadily moved up the ranks, and was was the anticipated winner going into the contest. That's why I said in another thread when we were asked what color variety would win, I said Kohaku. A worthy representative as the best of the best!

Very few Utsuris.
Are you going to photo the smaller fish? I would love to see them.
