"Born in Nakama, Fukuoka prefecture in 1964, Yasuda studied under Mr. Yusuke Oeda, a nine dan professional Go player, and succeeded in his aim of becoming a professional in 1985. He won the four dan section of the Kisei tournament in 1985. He was promoted to nine dan, the highest rank of professional players, in 1998."
