I would not be ashamed of your KOHAKU. I think it will grow into it's head pattern very nicely.
Beni looks very strong and clears the eyes.
I am very much in favor of the regular shaped duckbill nose pattern.
The peduncle matches the strong head and abdomen body shape.
A Kohaku pattern always looks more balanced to me with a pinky finger white cuff between the last tail pattern and fin.
Remember,your fish need feeding small amounts of food over the course of the day.
They do not have a stomach large enough to reserve food over the course of the day.

Nice patterned kohaku. I just wonder how good its skin is. Seems to be quite thin.
You did a whole tutorial about it, thank you very very much for your time, I have koi in my pond that they are going to be more than twenty years old with me, all bred from babies. I guess if this Kohaku is male or female, I know that it is practically impossible to notice it with this size and low res photographs but, I think it's female, what do you think?
What about the beni running up into the dorsal fin? Is that expected to recede as the fish develops? I think it's a nice fish for 80.
