Doitsu Kohaku FACT FILE: Red and white koi first appeared in the early 1800s, when the offspring of a Magoi (a black carp) also had red cheeks, and was again cross-bred with a red fish (Higoi), to produce fish with red stomachs. In the mid 1800s, koi with red on the head, lips (kuchi-beni) and back were also bred, which was the very early refinements of the Kohaku koi variety. The Kohaku code was finally cracked after a red headed female fish was bred with a cherry blossom patterned male, and the resulting offspring now being thought to be the original lineage of all modern Kohaku.
