I know a good Budo Goromo isn't very common, but I'm hoping to get one on the darker side some time in the future...

American breeder, no. You can find some good ones on import. I picked up a Tosai from Russ at PSKoi back in the spring that I am enjoying. You kind of have to just watch his threads on his forum when he posts his trips to get first dibs on some of them. Others may have some, but its always a little hunt to get what you want.
Are you looking for something like this:
Try Ken Liu at Barstow Koi Farm. He's an Asian American Breeder in California. He has customers in Japan that fly here for fish.
Sorry, I'm sure they don't, it was a mistake on my part, probably another Country out that way.
One time exception, after the big earthquake 2004 in japan. A few lost more than 90% of their broodstock, so they bought back koi which were sold previously to koi hobbist to other countries and imported back to japan as broodstock.
