According to Chinese Folklore there is an ancient tale of the nine holy Koi, who’s quest was to endure the long arduous journey to Dragon Gate to make the magical transformation to become Dragon protectors of the Emperor. These nine Koi began their journey in a small stream close to the Emperors palace where they played as young Koi. At a very early age the Emperors daughter would swim with the Koi in the stream and they would share tales of their childhood journeys and their dreams of the future of China.

So compelling were the tales that the princess created that the Koi became totally devoted to her, agreeing between them all, to ensure that her childhood dreams would reach fruition when she became older. As the Koi grew stronger and wiser they heard of the mystical powers of Dragon Gate and dreamed of one day making the journey along Yellow River to become Dragons in their quest to protect the Empire. The Koi elders would tell tales of the dangerous journey along Yellow River and the tremendous strength that Koi would need to endure the climb to Dragon Gate swimming against the strongest of known currents and jumping the most powerful of any known waterfall.

The nine Warrior Koi Fish began their hard rigorous training without delay so that they may one day make the journey to Dragon Gate.
