Nishikigoi Niigata Direct was founded in October 2005 as a colaboration between Makoto Tanaka (Marusho Koi Farm), Fujio Oomo (Oomo Koi Farm), Yasuaki Kaneko (Kaneko Koi Farm) and Tamikazu Kobayashi (koi-breeders.jp).

Whilst still utilising all of the facilities of the original farms a new facility was constructed in the village of Takiya situated midway between Nagaoka and Ojiya adjacent to the main Route 17.
