DOITSU KI MATSUBA

The Doitsu Ki Matsuba is a stunning and distinctive variety of koi fish known for its bold coloration and unique scale pattern.

• "Doitsu" refers to the koi being scaleless or having mirror scales (large, reflective scales along the dorsal line and occasionally on the lateral lines).
  

• "Ki" means yellow in Japanese, so this koi displays a vibrant yellow or golden body.
  

• "Matsuba" means pinecone, referring to the black net-like pattern that appears on the scales, creating a pinecone effect — but in the case of Doitsu, this pattern is mostly visible along the dorsal line or the few mirror scales.
