Favourite Character In Hikaru No Go
Difficulty: Beginner
traveller: Note to all - I did not write the paragraph below. I've no idea why my name is here. Dudes and dudettes . . . . Ogata Sensei is clearly the coolest man on the face of the earth. He's got the car, the snazzy dress, the fish. He's 9p. He encourages the youth to struggle to be their best. He's 9p. Uhm -- did I mention he's 9p? :-) Well -- actually -- Umezawa Yukari is even better. I do (anonymously) declare -- she is the only woman on earth prettier than my wife! :-) Dieter: My favourite one-issue appearance was the left-handed creep Dake-san who fooled the fooler Mitani. Like many people I love Waya because he's maybe just the guy I'd want to be. I gained some sympathy and respect though, for the drama of Kaga? (see Lucky's comments below) and Mitani (he changes his personality of cheater so as to become a respectful member of the club, only to see Hikaru leave and reach a higher goal). I adore Mitani's voice in the anime and since I have been watching the anime, I am yearning every moment for an appearance of Kuwabara? Honinbo - definitely my favourite character. Tristan Jones Kuwabara Honinbo certainly has an impressive Sixth Sense, but his voice is plain horrible. He looks and sounds like a really nasty, dirty old man. Shudder. Velobici Kuwabara Honinbo is the character that can read those around him with the same skill he can read a go board. He knows that
Once in a while, he opens an eye and looks at you directly, revealing for a moment the depth of reading. Perhaps the first example of this is during Hikaru's game with Touya Meijin. Kuwabara offers to bet Ogata on the outcome, insists on betting on Hikaru. After losing the bet, he opens that "one eye" of his and bluntly tells Ogata that he (Kuwabara) will bet on "the kid" again next time. He sees what strength of play can come from "the kid".
unkx80: I simply like Hikaru and Fujiwarano Sai. Scartol: There's no doubt, Sai is the champ. But I love the insei who's always got that bursting-with-joy grin. I think his name is Fukui? This guy:
Tiptoe39?: That's Fuku. And for the record I am a Sai girl all the way. Who DOESN'T want a huge, giggly, Heian-era Go master in a big black hat just sitting around in their living room? :D Lucky: Of course Hikaru and Sai. But I also liked a more complex character, Kaga, the senior student at the Haze school. When he first appears is quite disturbing. But he is very intelligent (at one time he tells Tsutsui he will pass the exams without studying) and a very gifted go player. He had the misfortune to run into Akira at the wrong time so he pretends he hates go. Yet he missed no chance to prove his strength in the tournament. I liked him a lot when he pushed Hikaru to play three simultaneous games, just before becoming an insei. He seemed so wishful to help Hikaru become tougher. jesusin: Of course Ochi. He really has determination and knows what he wants! Now, seriously, I am in love with Nase. I hope she gets to be a professional someday. By the way, are you sure about Sai's sex? AlexanderYoshi: I really like Hikaru. Even if he's blunt headed at times, he's the one who gets up and grows. Many people probably feel this way, but it seems like I can relate to him the best. Niklaus: I like the way Touya Meijin is portrayed a lot, especially in the anime. He appears to be kind of sinister but very charismatic. And of course he kicks ass at Go. Gorobei: Sasha, my 6 month old daughter, likes Fujisaki Akari the best, then Hikaru, then Sai. She cheers whenever they talk in the anime. Migeru: My favourite character has to be Isumi-san. He lacks the glamour of some of the other characters, but the whole book devoted to him and his trip to China really gives a lot of depth to the character. I also like Ogata Sensei for his elegance, and he's not only 9p, he holds the 10-dan title! Then there's Kurata Sensei and Nase, of course. By the way, I hate Ochi. He needs to relax. Motoko: I like both Touyas, the (former) Meijin as well as Akira-kun. I'm kind of in love with Akira, similar to the thing I experienced with Captain Future as a kid.. btw, did anyone notice how much younger Touya Kouyou looks after he just lost the game against Sai on the net?
