Koshi
Zombies (ゾンビ, Zonbi) are recurring antagonists within the fictional universe of Japanese video game company Capcom's multimedia franchise Resident Evil, known in Japan as Biohazard. Introduced in the 1996 video game Resident Evil, they are mutated creatures with cannibalistic urges and severe epidermal necrosis. The zombies are usually created by biological weaponry, genetic manipulation, or parasitic symbiosis, unlike the corporeal revenants with mythological and supernatural origins common in other works of horror and fantasy. The game's sequels and film adaptations have also featured other types of zombies and related creatures that are presented as more agile, vicious, and intelligent opponents. The Resident Evil franchise's zombies and associated creatures are widely recognized as among the most memorable video game depictions of horror themes and as an influential element of the survival horror genre.

What to Know Before Buying a Koshi
Finding a responsible Koshi breeder requires more than browsing classified ads or responding to social media posts. The USDA requires any breeder who sells dogs commercially — especially those selling online or through third-party dealers — to hold a federal license and submit to regular inspections. A legitimate breeder should be willing to provide their USDA license number, invite you to visit their facility, and show you where the animals are housed and socialized.
Before committing to a purchase, ask the breeder for veterinary health records, vaccination documentation, and any genetic testing results relevant to the Koshi. Reputable breeders will also ask you questions in return — about your living situation, experience with animals, and ability to provide long-term care. A breeder who asks no questions and is eager to ship an animal immediately is a significant red flag.
Use the search tool below to check whether any USDA-licensed facilities breeding Koshis appear in our database. If they do, review their inspection history carefully. Look for patterns of violations, pay attention to severity levels, and compare their compliance grade with other breeders in the same state. This due diligence takes minutes and can save you from supporting a facility with documented animal welfare problems.
