Note: Segoshi Kensaku (an alias for this page) is an alternate reading of Segoe Kensaku. It is considered incorrect by John Fairbairn. However, it appears in some Japanese and English sources.

[1] His book Weiqi Life and Death Dictionary by Segoe Kensaku ISBN 7-5337-0315-5 围棋死活辞典 published in Shanghai 1990, uses the simplified form 濑越宪作 of characters for his name. Until now, I didn't know that also characters of names can be simplified. tderz
