Hikaru Shindo
Hikaru Shindo (進藤 ヒカル Shindō Hikaru in the Japanese version) is the main character of the very popular Manga comic and TV series Hikaru no Go.
Hikaru, who at the beginning of the series is a sixth grader in elementary school, is nothing more than a prankster. When he finds his grandfather's old Go board, he sees blood on it and faints. Later he finds out the spirit of Fujiwara-no-Sai is inside his mind. Sai pressures Hikaru into playing Go, and Hikaru becomes a strong Go player.
