Hiroshima Breeder: Momotaro

Located in Mitsu-Kunigahara, Okayama Prefecture, Momotaro Koi Farm is one of Japan’s most influential and internationally recognized koi breeders. Founded in 1984 by Toshio Maeda and now led by his son Daisuke Maeda, the farm helped reshape modern Nishikigoi breeding by proving that Gosanke could reach extraordinary jumbo size while still maintaining beauty, balance, and show-quality refinement.

Momotaro is best known for its powerful jumbo Gosanke, especially Kohaku, Sanke, and Showa. Through landmark bloodlines such as Mako, the farm developed koi with broad frames, strong tail joints, elastic skin, and the appetite needed for exceptional growth. This breeding philosophy helped push Kohaku beyond the once-mythical 1-meter mark and changed expectations for what high-class koi could become.

What makes Momotaro koi especially admired is their combination of scale and elegance. Their Kohaku are known for thick, lacquer-like beni over brilliant white skin, while their Sanke and Showa carry strong bodies, bold patterns, and deep sumi that can continue refining as the koi matures. The farm is also respected for jumbo Ginrin Gosanke, where brilliant scale shine holds its impact even on larger frames.
