Cho U (in Chinese: Zhang Xu), Nihon Ki-in 9 dan pro from Taiwan. Born 20 January 1980. Pupil of Rin Kaiho. Husband of Kobayashi Izumi.

  • Unsuccessful challenger for the 42nd Judan title (2004).
  • Winner of 59th Honinbo title (2004).

  • Winner of the 51st Oza title (2003).
  • Winner of 27th Shinjin O (2002).

His winning record in 2002 was 70-14, a new record for wins (64 in 2001 by Hane Naoki).

Alex Weldon: Cho U seems to be the guy to watch in Japanese go. 24 years old, and kicking some serious ass. I'd like to know more about him, but this page doesn't have much information. Anyone care to add anything they know? Something about his style of play? Biographical details? Interesting anecdotes or quotations?
