Kido Prize Winners

This is a translation of a [ext] table from the Japanese Wikipedia.

Explanation

The Kido Prizes are a series of awards for the Nihon Kiin players, originally arranged by the Nihon Ki-in's Kido magazine, which has been held since 1967. Usually announced in February each year.

The Japanese table includes a column converting Gregorian dating (eg. 1967年) to Japanese era dating (eg. 昭和42, ie. Showa 42). This has been omitted for the sake of space.

There are ten categories of prize listed. From left to right:

1. 最優秀棋士賞 (Most Outstanding)
2. 最多勝利賞 (Most Wins)
3. 勝率第1位賞 (Winning Percentage)
4. 連勝記録賞 (Winning Streak)
5. 殊勲賞 (Outstanding)
6. 敢闘賞 (Fighting Spirit)
7. 技能賞 (Technique)
8. 女流賞 (Women's Prize)
9. 新人賞 (New Star)
10. 特別賞 (Special Prize, 1981-)

The Special Prize may have no winners. This occurred in the 16th (1982), 22nd (1988), 25th (1991) and 27th (1993) editions.

[1] The lowest.

[2] The lowest.

[3] The shortest, together with Ishida Yoshio's of the year after.

[4] The lowest.

[5] His article says 87.0%, which would still be the record. In both cases there is a data anomaly: 91.3% of Yamashita's record 69 games in 1997 is 63 games, and 87.0% is 60, yet Hane Naoki apparently won the Most Wins prize that year with only 50.

[6] The best since Cho U's 56 in 2003.

[7] The best since Cho U's 84 in 2002.
