Umezawa Yukari
    Keywords: People

Born 1973-Oct-04. Japanese pro 4-dan in the Nihon Ki-in, credited with technical advice for Hikaru no Go[1].

Here is [ext] her official website.

Jan van der Steen's brief [ext] GoBase biography links to 15 games by Umezawa-san, and let me find [ext] photo albums at Nihon Ki-in.

A fan has collected [ext] some photos of her. There is a short [ext] Umezawa Yukari profile at MSOworld.


[1] Regarding Hikaru no Go, [ext] Pieter Mioch wrote in rec.games.go (2001-Dec-02):

The number of children coming every Sunday to the Nagoya branch of the Nihon Ki-In to join the Children's Go Class has doubled in one month time. This is without a doubt the "Hikaru No Go Effect" the cartoon is still going strong and finally seems to move youngsters to pick up the game.
Umezawa 4p admits she does not actually supervise the technical aspects of "Hikaru No Go" although her name is on the front cover with the claim she does. A source working at a TV station mentioned that during a later cut part of an interview Umezawa Yukari told she never read through the books before they'd hit the press. For technical supports the writer of HikaGo, Mrs. Hotta Yumi, often contact pro's from the Central Japan Branch of the Nihon Ki-In. During the first books especially her former go-teacher, Mizuno Yoshika 2p from Gifu pref often helped Mrs. Hotta out.
