I can't tell from the pictures clearly but I can't help but wonder if that is a male that is showing extremely strong the breeding stars on their gill covers called operculum. This link may help explain better. http://thegab.org/Goldfish/sexing-goldfish.html
Problem is they usually don't stand out as well on Koi as Goldfish. Is there any chance the fish is a hybrid goldfish/Koi. This would easily explain and also be a relief as this is a natural process. If the skin tissue looks to be peeling or flaking then it could be a infection.
