Kōhaku
Kohaku (紅白 (kōhaku "Amber") has a white (shiro) body, with red (aka) markings, or 'hi', across the body. The Kohaku is one of the gosanke; the ‘Big Three’, consisting of Kohaku, Sanke, and Showa.The Kohaku breed is believed to be one of the first ornamental carp varieties developed. The variety dates to 1888, when a man named Kunizo Hiroi bred a red-headed female koi with one of his own males, whose markings resembled cherry blossoms, thus creating the now extinct Gosuke bloodline from which all of the known Kohaku bloodlines established (Tomoin, Sensuke, Yagozen, Manzo).Today, the Tomoin and Yagozen are the two remaining major Kohaku bloodlines in Japan. The Kohaku remains one of the most popular breeds in Japan. The bright red markings are known as hi (緋)
Taishō Sanshoku (or Taisho Sanke)
Taishō Sanshoku (or Taisho Sanke) (大正三色?) is very similar to the kohaku, except for the addition of small black markings called sumi (墨?). This variety was first exhibited in 1914 by the koi breeder Gonzo Hiroi, during the reign of the Taisho Emperor.[citation needed] All over the world, the name is often abbreviated to just "Sanke." The kanji, 三色, may be read as either sanshoku or as sanke.

Shōwa Sanshoku (or Showa Sanke)
Shōwa Sanshoku (or Showa Sanke) (昭和三色?) is a black koi with red (hi 赤) and white (shiroji 白地) markings. The first Showa Sanke was exhibited in 1927, during the reign of the Showa Emperor. In America, the name is often abbreviated to just "Showa." The amount of shiroji on Showa Sanke has increased in modern times (Kindai Showa 近代昭和), to the point that it can be difficult to distinguish from Taisho Sanke. The kanji, 三色, may be read as either sanshoku or as sanke.
Nishikigoi (Koi):The Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku and lots more of varies. The World’s Ornamental Fish Born in Niigata.
According to Prof. Yutaka SUGA, the University of Tokyo,Nishikigoi ,Sometimes called “living jewels” or “swimming art,” were first bred some 200 years ago, between 1804 and 1830 (Edo era), in the inter-mountainous region known as Nijyumura-go [Twenty-village hamlet] stretching from Ojiya City to Yamakoshi district in Nagaoka City in Niigata Prefecture. The inhabitants of Nijyumura-go, since long ago, had bred carp in paddy fields as food. Nishikigoi are said to have arisen from spontaneous mutations of black carp resulting in red and mottled coloring. The Nishikigoi of today are the product of the repeated selection and breeding of mutants with superior color and patterns that has occurred in the two hundred years since. Given the numerous articles related to Nishikigoi that appear in regional newspapers in Niigata and provincial documents during the early Meiji era (1870s), it is believed that Nishikigoi culture flourished in Niigata during this period. In 1889, an individual by the name of Kunizo Hiroi, in what is present-day Utogi in Ojiya City, developed a variety known as “Kohaku” [red and white], which is considered an exemplar of Nishikigoi. This marked the start of modern Nishikigoi breeding and subsequent development of countless varieties including “Taisho Sanshoku” [Taisho tri-color] (Sanke) and “Showa Sanshoku” [Showa tri-color], the majority of which have been bred in Niigata. These local ornamental fish, developed in this manner through the efforts of the people in Niigata, eventually spread throughout Japan and, indeed, around the world.
