Nihon Ki-in Hall of Fame

Nihon Ki-in Hall of Fame

The Nihon Ki-in Hall of Fame was created in 2004 as part of the nihon-ki-in's 80th anniversary celebrations, and housed in the basement of its headquarters in Ichigaya.

Inductees are selected by the eight-member Go Hall of Fame Awards Committee, of which Otake Hideo, the nihon-ki-in chairman, and rin-kaiho, the Professional Go Players Association chairman, are both members. According to the Nihon Ki-in, those inducted need not be the most renowned players, since even "non-professionals who have contributed to the development of Go will also be honoured."
