Were yours akame?
Here’s an update to mine. I think mine got a little bit bigger but I have not measure them, around 12”-16”. I think maybe 4 females out of 7.

Yeah that's realistically as big as I could hope for and honestly not that big for a karashi. I think tosai that don't get sold until nisai/sansai have a better chance of getting big at a young age because they don't have months of QT, shipping, no feeding, etc. I wasn't in a contest or anything so ultimately it doesn't matter but you hear stories of some of these getting to 24 inches as tosai LOL.
Color looks pretty good to me, however it is likely to develop a shoulder hump as can be seen with the head shape from top view.
