After judging by Hirokazu Oyama (Oyama Fish Farm) and Shinya Umeda (KOI-UMEDA JAPAN Co., Ltd.), the Grand Champion was awarded to a 45bu Taisho Sanshoku (produced by Sakai Fish Farm, 2 years old) submitted by Yasuhiko Asada.

The fish were purchased at Uosui (Osaka) at the beginning of last year and raised in a 10-ton pond at the breeder’s home. The fish were awarded the grand prize for their excellent condition.
Starting with this competition, the Grand Prize for Breed Classification was divided into Category A (Miyabi Grand Prize) for the Gosanke and Category B (Satsuki Grand Prize) for other breeders. Mr. Yoshihiro Matsuda’s 45bu Taisho Sanshoku (produced by Marudo Koi Farm Co., Ltd. and handled by Uosui) and Mr. Yoshinori Kinoshita’s 45bu Goshiki (produced by Kaneko Koi Farm and handled by Ishida Nishikigoi) were selected as winners in each category.
