(1939-1996) Nihon Ki-in pro 6 dan. 'Go is a fighting art.' Liked 5-4 points. Daughter of Kitani Minoru, married Kobayashi Koichi, mother of Kobayashi Izumi.


Bill: She was Women's Honinbo for some years, wasn't she?

nachtrabe: She was defeated for the first Women's Honinbo in 1982 but never took the title. She took the Women's Kakusei in 1981 and 1982.

John F. But Bill's not wrong - just showing his age :) She won the All-Japan Women's Championship half a dozen times. That event was widely but unofficially called the Women's Honinbo, and was directly replaced by the event which officially used the title Honinbo.
