I’m not inherently interested in fish, and yet I was ‘glued’ to your documentary… magnificent and humane… and such devotion and hard work to these koi fish.

What a stunning documentary on a tradition that spans over 2 centuries. Fantastic cinematography, soundtrack, and narration. Love your work.

The drone shots of gosanke in the mud ponds are truly special.

I've always wanted to visit japan. You took such care in this documentary that I felt kind of like I had been there. So well made. The japanese people seem so kind, intelligent, and hospitable. And the food!!! I could almost smell it. Please make more videos like this, and thank you! I loved hearing that you quit your job to follow your passion.

Brilliant documentary my friend. The Japanese people are master craftsman at everything they do. There pride in what they do is amazing. Beautiful fish.🙏

It is such a privilege to be given access to the behind the scenes operations at these koi farms! Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us.

As a fisherman, an aquarium hobbyist, and fellow fish breeder, I enjoyed this video immensely, thank-you for putting this together!

This is hands down the best thing me and Leo have watched on RU-vid in a long time

Really love to watch this best documentary of Koi ever.

It's amazing to think that the tiny ones will grow into such spectacular creatures! This is one of the best homemade documentaries I have seen in a very long time. Great work🤩

Amazing doccumentary, it felt like it was 15 minutes long

They are truly living works of art.

I’ve just found out the fry which don’t get selected are poured into the mature fish enclosures so they can predate on them. Good source of protein and the circle of life 👍

Your love for these fish and Japan is clearly evident. Great vid.

I'm watching from Philippines 🇵🇭 I'm waiting your new videos on Japan

I have some Kois and they are lovely. Never knew breeding was this hard work. Thanks for such a wonderful documentation video. An eye-opener.

I’am a koï lover from the Ivory Coast in west Africa. Love your documentaries a lot. Thank you for sharing.😊

Amazing! desperately waiting for next episode!

That was one great documentary about breeding koi fish in Japan. Stunning videography works and great job buddy❤❤❤keep making it

Everything is good, but one drawback of this video is that it is too short. Thank you very much. Like

Evo what a fantastic insight in to the koi breeding process I can’t believe they can put 3 day old fry in to a mud pond amazing brilliant documentary keep them coming mate All the best

Learn a lot about koi from this meticulously made documentary. Brilliant! Love it!

I appreciate how personal and slow-paced your documentary was. It was peaceful and relaxing, and it connects the watcher to people who live for the beauty of koi like hanging out with new friends and it inspires appreciation for their hard work. You took time and care into your video in all the right ways, so thank you.

That first one he pulled out is gorgeous!

Brilliant documentary. I was glued to it as I was rearing fish as a hobby when I was younger.

That yellow one was so pretty.. it actually makes me want one.

The poise, elegance and respect this video has for the breeders and koi is awsome. Its an amazing insight to care and attention that breeeders put into the care.

Perfect Video my friend

Great video again you do this so well😊

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL fish! I never knew they lived for so long. I never knew they changed color from the black carp to the colorful Koi. Thank you for sharing!!! 💛💛💛

This was an amAzing adventure into a completely different world! Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share this!

Stunning documentary, Thank you!🙌🏼

Enjoyed it , don’t know much about koi fish neither I think I will ever keep them as pet , but this video made me koi fan

Love the video, keep up the outstanding work.

Deeply touched, I appreciated your well-thought and fun documenting into the art and science of Koi breeding journey.

Thanks, Yvo for making your koi documentary. Very comprehensive, love how it’s all been put together and is complemented by the excellent choice of music. Well done, regards Stephen.

Excellent video Yvo, very professionally done. It's nice to see that you're so welcome at the koi breeders facilities and in their homes, they seem like lovely people. Without your warm approach we wouldn't have access to this fascinating footage. It would be great to have some technical information occasionally like ph values, temperature fluctuations etc. Many thanks.

Glad to see you’re following your passion with such dedication and commitment!! Such a remarkable piece of work you did!!

The colors combined with the shape and the way they move are so beautiful

Nice documentary with a lot of information.

HAVE YOU MADE A PLAYLIST FOR THESE DOCUMENTARIES? BECAUSE I WANT TO WATCH ALL OF THEM

Very well done! The video is both informative and relaxing. You have a great narration style. It's very impressive that you and the breeders have developed a relationship that makes them willing to allow you behind the scenes. Looking forward to more.

Each and every Koi is beautiful!!!

Astonishing, wondrous and spectacular! Thank you for such an incredible documentary ❤

It's a mind calming and relaxing time and feeling that we are having with this beautiful koi fishes.❤

Great documentary with a lot of informations about breeding and reproduction of these japan jewels

The size of those koi are incredible! Not only that the quality of them are perfect!

I love watchingbthe fish grow. They each have their own personality.

I always enjoy your videos and documentarys. The commentary is really good. Fair the best going. Keep up the good work. 🏆👊

Very interesting Especially the breeding process I’ve raised Koi for nearly 40 years only to lose them to flooding or predators but still keep this hobby

So much positive energy! Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us.

It was a fascinating breeding process of the carp.

Can’t wait to watch this after wrk ltrs been waiting for this thanks Yvo 🙌👍

Amazing in depth documentary about high tier koi farming. Stunning work.

I don't even know when was the last time I was so immersed in a documentary. Absolutely beautiful ❤️

Love all your work but this video documentary is something special🫡. Superb videography, great soundtrack and excellent narrative 👏. You have excelled yourself, thank you for producing and sharing your journey and experiences with us😊👍

Un documental increíble Yvo! Cada día te superas más! Enhorabuena.

What a fantastic documentary...fascinating!!! You definitely need to do more, not only informative but very relaxing too.

Excellent video! Japan's culture is something else. They take so much pride in their work! Respect!

What an amazing video! I live in Taiwan and have a bunch of Japanese friends. Well, it's basically around the corner. I can so relate to what you said in the beginning... about a peaceful and structured place. It's so fascinating. Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary!

Japan….the one country I just can not visit because the agony knowing I have to return to Canada is just simply too much for my heart to bear. I can’t not imagine being so lucky to have been born in the mountains somewhere.❤❤❤

omg, what an amazing documentary. thanks for sharing. i enjoyed it so much. well done Yvo

Not enough words to express the feeling of gratitude your video inspires. Made my day! Thank you so very much!

Such stunning creatures. My favorites are the butterfly koi (The long finned ones...) with large scales. Like little beautiful dragons swimming through the ponds...

Great Work Sir, You are truly an inspiration Sir...

WONDERFUL! I truly enjoyed your documentary and learned so much! thanks!

My favorite I enjoy watching it and learn so much about my favorite fish Thank you so much

Hey Yvo, What an interesting video about the koi breeding. I've never known that. And I'm glad to see that the not selected baby koi go to auction instead of being destroyed. I'm very interested in Japan and the Japanese culture. Thank you for educating me. Saying hi from Zwolle, the Netherlands. 🤗

I never knew so much about the Koi fish, I truly enjoyed watching.

Another awesome documentary. Thank you so much for all you do. Much respect and gratitude. ❤

Your awesome documentaries get better and better as the years go by!

Absolutely spectacular my friend! It gave me and the wife goosebumps!! We definitely want more documentaries like this!! Just wow 😮

I was farming salmons in Norway but this is milion times better.Great movie.

There is a wildlife park in Oklahoma that has a river with a bunch of huge black carp,, which are native. Ever since I was little, there has been a huge gold koi that someone let go in the river. 30+ years later, he is still there, living his/her best life! I love him so much!❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this documentary. Great insight on the art of koi breeding.

The quality of the videos rises up to a higher level with each one. The biggest "problem" is that you need/want so much info in a short amount of time. Maybe it is an idea to make several (a series) of documentaries in which you follow a koi breeder throughout the year. You now have an excellent relation with some breeders which allow you to follow their activities. throughout the year. Maybe make a documentary for each step they do in the breeding of koi. The separate documentaries might be a bit shorter, but as a whole they might be the gemstone everybody is waiting for. Some steps I can think of are: preparing a mud pond, from dry, clean, (maybe chicken manure) and filling (how is it done and why? are there differences between breeders/regions), what do they do after the koi have left the pond, how do they clean it? Breeding the koi, How do they choose the oyagoi? natural or artificial breeding, the selections, what do they look for in various steps in the selection process. Maybe this info for some different varieties? What does happen with the koi that do not pass the selection, when really small. and what happens when they are already a little bigger (12cm+)? Older koi: How does the breeder select the koi he wants to grow to nisai, sansai and even older. What does a breeder look for when selecting/holding back potential oyagoi? How are the oyagoi kept in top condition for breeding? Buying a koi, what has to be done to get your fish abroad. prepare the koi for shipment/transport, pack the koi, transport them by truck, plane, van/car, customs/vetrenary. what kind of paperwork do you need to fill in? And maybe a longer documentary on selecting a koi. what do you look for with examples of the really good fish, but maybe even more important the koi where it is not the best. This is always very difficult to understand. Why? because "they" always show you the "perfect" koi, but if you have no comparison, it's more difficult to understand. Of course you do not need to bother the breeder every time for a "interview" they have enough to do without you asking them questions all the time. but when you do you might wanna use subtitles. For one because their English is not always the best, but more importantly, you often have a lot of background noise from the ponds which it more difficult to understand and follow. Again, keep up the good videos you are making, they are very informative and of excellent quality!

Those fish are beautiful, and their breeders are lovely.

Great documentary, can't wait to see more! 😍😍😍😍❤️

Amazing documentary man!! The narration was on point and the film making was beautiful. Makes me remember of my trip to Japan when I visited Konishi Koi Farm in Hiroshima. I loved watching the amazing quality of the Japanese koi. Is there a way someone could tag along on one of your trips? I bet many people would love to do so, I know I would love that close experience in the farms. I live in El Salvador in Central America and have a regular job so its pretty difficult for me to find the time to travel so far now a days, but I've already been to Japan twice and will love for the 3rd time to have a koi centered trip!! Maybe buy a fish or two!! Good luck with your channel and videos, I really enjoy them very much!!

Wow, this was fascinating! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the secretive world of championship koi breeding. Truly, the exacting care exhibited at every level of the process shows what a valued national treasure they are to Japanese culture.

Love all the koi documentaries! You did amazing capturing everything & sharing this very interesting koi hobby!

I loved this video...u did a great job...Looks like a lot of hard work and patience. Beautiful fish...very interesting watching the breeding process. .I'd like to see the fish show/ compitition for how they pick the best Koi of the year, and what they base it on....Japan is so wonderfully beautiful....and I love their food too...Maybe someday i can visit Japan. .I live in the USA...Oregon...used to live in California...My good friend, had a Koi pond with beautiful fish ..its to cold in winter where i live, it gets below freezing, 18-24 degrees in winter with snow and ice, so i cant have a fish pond...Thank u for sharing....

Thank you very very much for filming this it is really precious and your presentation is also really amazing ❤
