Asagi
Asagi is a variety in which all parts of the body except the head are covered in blue, such as indigo or sky blue, and all the scales on the body show a net pattern. Asagi is the original variety of Nishikigoi, and many varieties are said to have been produced based on the Asagi. The one with a lot of red patterns is called Hi-asagi in Japan.
Asagi should have a beautiful white or candy-colored head that is not dark and muddy, a well-defined and undisturbed pattern of the scales, and a well-balanced arrangement of red patterns on the belly, fins, and both cheeks.
