Bekko fit into the Bekko group. Bekko also come from the Sanke family.

There are three types of Bekko; the Aka (red) Bekko, the Shiro (white) Bekko, and the Ki (yellow) Bekko. There shouldn't be any black on the head of a bekko but black lines on the pec fins is ok.

The Bekko has a simple stepping stone pattern of sumi (black) which should be black as coal running down it's back set against a red, white or yellow background.

The pictured Aka Bekko was bred by Yagenji.
