Yamashita Keigo

Yamashita Keigo up to now is by far the most succesfull student from the go school run by an amateur named Kikuchi Yasuro. His spectacular style has renewed the interest in the game of go. A short resume:-

  • Born 1978-09-06 in Asahikawa City
  • 1-dan in 1993
  • 7-dan in 2000
  • 1998: 23rd Shinjin-O (King of The New Stars Title)
  • 1999: 14th NEC Shun'ei (New Stars Hayago), 24th Shinjin-O
  • 2000: 30th Shin'ei (New Stars Title), the 25th Gosei and the 25th Shinjin-O
  • 2001: 26th Shinjin-O

As a 7 dan early 2001 Yamashita Keigo has won the prestigious 38th Shusai Prize. It recognises not just the fact that he won the Gosei title at the age of 21, but that his go style is a breath of fresh air. In the same year he also won the Journalists' Club prize and the Kido Prize, amongst other awards.

A small collection of his games can be found at [ext] My Friday Night Files.
