At 226 years of age, Hanako was the oldest koi recorded at any point. Hanako was a wonderful red shaded female Higoi. Her name Hanako is interpreted as "flower girl" in Japanese. Born in 1751, Hanako was brought into the world in the principal year of Horeki, in the Tokugawa Era in Japan. Hanako passed away on July 7, 1977, at the advanced age of 226. This made Hanako the oldest koi, and in addition to this, the longest-living freshwater fish at any point on record. This record is still yet to be broken 'til the present day.
