Bekko

The Bekko koi is similar and often confused with Utsuri koi. Bekko koi have a solid colored base, Shiro (white), Aka (red), and Ki (yellow) with Sumi (black) Stepping stone patterns on the back. A good quality bekko should have a good balance of sumi markings with no sumi on the head. The base color should be solid with no variations. Ki Bekko is a rare find.
