Fujitsu Cup
   

The Fujitsu Cup was the first world go championship. The first event was held in 1988, and it has taken place every year since then.

The 1st Fujitsu Cup was a 16-player knockout tournament, but in subsequent years it has been 24-player knockout with 8 players being seeded into the second round. There are also preliminary events to qualify for a place in the 24-player knockout.

In contrast to most other international titles, even the final is just a single game rather than a match. Below is a list of winners and defeated finalists. (Full results for each event can be found [ext] on Jan van der Steen's site.)

   1st  1988  Takemiya Masaki   (d. Rin Kaiho)
   2nd  1989  Takemiya Masaki   (d. Rin Kaiho)
   3rd  1990  Rin Kaiho         (d. Nie Weiping)
   4th  1991  Cho Chikun        (d. Qian Yuping, by forfeit)
