Hikari Utsuri: Includes all metallic Showa  (and Utsuri in some classification schemes) varieties. "Hikari" means metallic.

"Gin" at the front of the name indicates a silver metallic lustre (rather than white)

 

"Kin" at the front of the name indicates a golden metallic lustre (rather than red)

 

In actual practice most folks use the "Kin" prefix for all shiny/metallic Hikari Utsuri varieties.

 

 

 

 

 

Origin of Breed:

    A crossbreeding of Ogon and Utsuri varieties.
