We want to give a well deserved shoutout to one of our most loyal hobbyists (most of you probably dont know him at all, some of you will know him as Panda, I know him as Andy) for something pretty remarkable he pulled off this spring.

Andy has been growing out a Dainichi Showa and a Yamabuki Ogon from Izumiya over the last few years, both fish he picked up through us at Mystic Koi. This spring he entered both the 36th Annual San Diego Koi Show and the So Cal ZNA 50th Anniversary Show — and walked away with Grand Champion A and Grand Champion B at both.

The So Cal ZNA show is no small thing. It's the longest continuously running koi show outside of Japan, and the 50th anniversary brought out some serious competition from people who really wanted to be part of that milestone.

What makes this even more impressive is that the San Diego show was judged by the Shinkokai organization and So Cal by ZNA — two completely independent judging bodies — and both came to the same conclusion about these fish.

Here is a rare photo of Andy with his trophies.

We also want to thank Shigeru Dainichi of Dainichi and Ryu Mano of Izumiya for trusting us with koi of this caliber. That trust means everything to us. The way we look at it, this hobby works like a team — the breeders pour everything into producing these fish, we do our part to source and place them right, and it's the hobbyist who takes them the rest of the way. When it all comes together like this, with two championship titles across two independent shows, that's the whole team winning. Congratulations Andy, I am so proud of you!

Also thank you Mikki Hernandez Swanson of Demi koi for the pics!
