Showa koi are typically called "black fish with red and white markings." This is because the Showa koi's base color (the color of the belly, the mouth, and the base of the pectoral fins) is black. Words like "Powerful, Heavy, and Magnificent" are all commonly used to describe the Showa koi's appearance.
"sanke," this variety of koi is known for its combination of color and grace. Taisho koi are basically white fish with black and red markings. They do not have any black on the belly, or base of the pectoral fins.
