Originated in Japan but registered in 2002 by Peter Ruh of Ohio and re-registered with new data in 2018, this slow to medium growing, upright cultivar is of unidentified parentage. It is a medium size hosta about 17 inches high and 33 inches wide with dark green foliage that has irregular chartreuse to creamy white marginal variegation. The leaves are moderately twisted, moderately folded, ovate and slightly shiny on top. It bears lightly striped, light lavender colored, tubular flowers on scapes 14 to 16 inches tall from August into September. Seed set was unknown at the time of registration.

According to the registration materials: "...late flowering; stately clump; good texture..."

Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled, A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term kifukurin or ki fukurin as yellow edge(d) or yellow margin(ed).
