Kaga
Kaga is one of the more interesting characters in Hikaru no Go. In his first appearance, Hikaru is at the Haze Fair solving (Sai) problems to win Touya Meijin's book, when Kaga uses the goban to put out his cigarette, and destroy's the book. He then plays Hikaru(Sai) and is impressed enough to come up with the idea of sneaking Hikaru into the tournament (Haze goes through to win the final,but is disqualified when found out Hikaru is only a 6th grader and ineligible). Kaga does encourage Hikaru to take the insei test, and to get Hikaru the three kifu needed, has Hikaru play a triple match vs him (loss), Tsutsui (win), and Mitani (win). The inadvertant consequence of this is Mitani's quitting the club as well as Hikaru. Also Haze strongest shogi player and head of the shogi club before graduation, early on Kaga pretended to hate Go (actually forced into the game by his father). The main reason being as a kid, he played Akira and only won because Akira let him win to avoid Kaga's father throwing him out of the house. Kaga was appearantly at one time an insei himself. All in all, one of the more interesting characters. This is a copy of the living page "Kaga" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
