The Platinum Koi,
also known as Platinum Ogon or Purachina Ogon (プラチナ黄金) in Japanese, is a dazzling variety of koi prized for its pure, metallic white or silver coloration. It's part of the Hikari Muji class—koi with a solid, metallic, single-color body—and it's considered one of the most elegant and visually striking koi types.
