    My Hi Utsuri from Marusai also improves year in year, very deep red and strong Sumi.

    Marusei and Otsuka breed some of the best Aka Matsuba, Yoshiyuki's (Marusei) brother Hironori (Maruhiro Koi Farm) also has some, suspect they will be a similar bloodline.

    Nothing in koi is set in stone, but the best examples should get better with age. UK water does some funny things to fish though, especially with shimis, and they stand out like a sore thumb on a single colour koi.
