Family

Née 石井茜 Ishii Akane. Ishii Akane became a professional shodan in August 2007, 2 dan in 2011, 3 dan in 2014. In April 2019, changed her professional name to Tatsumi Akane, matching her legal name after marriage. She and her husband have two sons.

She is a good friend of fellow Kansai Ki-in female pro Yoshida Mika. Although Yoshida is 11 years older, her two daughters are about the same age as Akane's two sons. Akane told her it was very hard both to raise her children and have an active professional career.

Her elder sister (by two years) Miyuki is a strong amateur (6 dan) and Go instructor. Miyuki married Nakamura Shin'ya 9p, and their daughter is prodigy “genius girl” Nakamura Sumire. Akane lost the only official game she has played against her niece, when Sumire was 11 years and 11 months old (B–5.5).
