I am Mr. Horiguchi's grandson and I respect that this page was made for him, please keep it up. Regarding Go, my father told me Mitsuo used to play at the house with a man named Harry Gonshor (math professor). You can see his link here

Mitsuo was also ranked if I am not mistaken. Here is a link stating his importance to the New York Go Club. https://www.usgo.org/sites/default/files/ejournal_archive/20080623/20080623.htm https://www.usgo.org/news/2021/10/50-years-ago-october-1971/
