Reason is because female can grow bigger and have more body mass/girth than male. Most koi hobbyists/farmers wants their koi to be as big as possible. Male in general tend to be skinny when big and does not have nice swimming posture, this aspect is very much like judging for ranchu.

Hope this gives you a basic understanding.

Thanks for the input pykoh, learning new things here every day.

Pictures by Kagemaru.

It was love at first sight for my buddy Kagemaru, his dream "killer whale" that he's been looking for. He didnt care that it was a male, that it is a nisai at only 28cm, that it aint gonna grow too big.

From Ofuji Farm, Japan.

Aiyo. No horse run, si bei swee !

Huh? What has being doitsu got to do with changing pattern?

There's a wagoi form of a similar variety, the matsukawabake...
