Cho Chikun
Cho Chikun was born in Seoul, Korea in 1956. His uncle Cho Nam Cheol was one of the leaders of professional Go in Korea in the post-war period. He was brought to Japan at the age of 6 by his older Cho Shoen (who was himself a young pro in Japan) to become a student at the Kitani Dojo. He qualified as a professional shodan at the age of 11, the youngest person to ever do so in Japan.
Cho has been the Champion of the two day matches. Between 1980 and 2000 he won nearly 50% of the Big Three Titles (Kisei, Meijin and Honinbo). A large biography and more than 1000 games of Cho Chikun can be found at Jan van Rongen This is a copy of the living page "Cho Chikun" at Sensei's Library.
