Hikaru Shindou

Hikaru Shindou’s life changed when he encountered the spirit Sai, a moment that turned an uninterested elementary school student into a Go prodigy. His progression from a casual school club member to a professional player by age fourteen was defined by a fierce rivalry with Akira Toya. Known for his rapid reading speed and a deceptive, trap-oriented playing style, Hikaru eventually mastered complex strategies designed to lure opponents into critical mistakes as his passion for the game grew.
