Additional input for the word of "katatuki
kata : conventional, stereotype

For example:
a breeder gave up that' Sanke as a female parent because a rate of Katatuki was too low.
one of Omosako female parent does not have sumi pattern just as if a shiromuji fish but she has been producing lots of nice Katatuki babies.

As we know, Bekko is a by-product of Sanke breeding, Chagoi and Soragoi shall a by-product of Ochiba Shigure breeding as well.
One of my acquaintance (friend) attempted breeding Ochiba Shigure last year. What he got was a pile of non Katatuki babies such as Chagoi, Soragoi and Magoi,etc but very few Ochiba (katatuki) babies..........maybe that' why.......

You should tell your friend that both Toshio Sakai and Saito ( Shintaro) told me that is not the best way to go as your friend has found out! Use chagoi or soragoi female and then use a kohaku male.

Thanks for the info and effort in translating for me, much appreciated. My new thing is to practice my 'Japanese' one hour each day. I long to be my own translator! LOls
