Oza (王座) literally means "throne". It is one of the seven top professional titles in Japan.

The tournament is sponsored by Nihon Keizai Shinbun, and carries a first prize of 14 million Yen. All players in the Nihon Ki-in and Kansai Ki-in can participate.

In the current format, the title holder is challenged by the winner of a preliminary tournament. The final is played to a best of five, usually in November and December.

Cho U Oza will face Yamashita Keigo in the 53rd Oza Title Match; first game will take place 28 October 2005.
