Well, like all types of koi they were bred for a specific trait.
You still see everything except their bellies from the top. And they are much more beautiful and graceful from a top view imo.

I do like koi...But I'm not a big fan of the up to $100K fine and 5 years prison for having them. 
The fat wavy tail one in the middle is what kind of Koi?(by shape not color) I love that kind of their breed. One in my tank got that bodyshape. Another one got shape like your shusui but normal scale, but it doesn't interest me that much.
I might have a pond with glass view in couple of years, can it wait that long or they won't hold that long in 3 meters

Damn man is it illegal to own a koi in zealand?
The white and orange butterfly?
I’d call her a mistake. Haha. She was deformed. Some might call her a short body, but her spine was bent down and her belly was big. She got worse looking the bigger she got.
Yes, very. They've been declared a noxious organism, with fines for possession and spreading them. They're very destructive of any waterway they infest.
Discus and koi are not compatible. If the koi seem fine in your tank then keep them in there as long as you want.
So deformed, it means not a Koi that normal Koi keeper choice?
I might keep Koi with discus until they're 20"+,then the Koi will go new pond.
Discus juv loves eating Koi slime and pest, you should try.
Definitely not a koi a serious koi keeper would pick. It was such a shame, she was so cute as a 3” baby.
Yours doesn’t looked deformed to me. The belly isn’t crazy bad and the back doesn’t look bent at all from what I can tell.
The scales do look a bit rough though. If the discus are eating the slim coat off the koi that’s not good for the koi. Their slim coat is their outer form of defense against parasites and bacteria.
