JapanThe 7 big Japanese titles in order of importance (= prize money)
For an up to date list of title holders, jump to this BobMcGuigan: The URLs for the go web pages of the newspapers sponsoring the seven big Japanese titles can be found at Japanese Go Column URLs Tualha: In the Hikaru no Go manga, Chapter 4, Akira says there are "8 crowns". He seems to be talking about Japanese titles. Were there eight then? Mistranslated? Anyone know? Answer: I THINK that there is a title called 10-dan.. atleast there is in HnG :)) But i'm not sure, anyone who is can tell? Niklaus: The 10-dan title is listed here under it's japanese name Judan SAS: Perhaps "8 crowns" includes the Fujitsu Cup, which the Nihon Ki-in seems to rank above the Gosei (judging by the list on the web page linked above). Tualha: I just noticed, near the end of Chapter 61, Isumi mentions the "Student Meijin, Student Honinbo, and Student Juuketsu" titles (in reference to Kadowaki). Is there a Juuketsu title? Google came up empty...
mAsterdam: HolIgor: There was a tournament called "Best Ten". There is similar tournament for the best ten new players in Korea nowadays. Ten players a divided in two five player leagues and then the winners of the leagues meet in the final title match. Other tournaments
