Butterfly black and red large scale 2

This striking koi has a deep, velvety black (Karasu) body with rich burnt orange markings concentrated around the face and lower fins. The long, flowing fins add an elegant, almost dragon-like quality to its silhouette. This fish measures approximately 10–11 inches — a large, mature specimen with a bold and commanding presence.

Its dramatic colouration suggests a Karasu or Hi Utsuri-type influence — a rare and captivating variety that serves as a stunning focal point in any pond.
