There are currently over 200 koi breeders (human) in Japan and many here in the United States.  It is not widely known that the MAJORITY of koi breeders you hear about breed koi as a second business and that it is not profitable enough to be a full time year round koi business. Yamazaki Koi Farm (famous for Doitsu Hariwake for instance, has a huge factory type building where they grow mushrooms in plastic cups to be used in restaurants. Hirasawa or as his friends call him " Hirashin" is a meat cutter during the off season.  Others are firefighters, guppy and feeder fish breeders, even Taxi drivers. To produce these spectacular koi, many sacrifices, long hours and money is needed and the profit levels are just not that high. Many people see the large price tag on a koi and automatically think it is a get rich quick business. This is far from the case. It is farming, if you really love it, you probably will succeed. If your in it for the big bucks...you probably wont succeed.

Some of the most famous full time breeders include Marudoh, Sakai, Momotaro, and others who compete for notoriety through their efforts to place well at the all Japan koi Show each year.
