description: At the end of 2019 Shibano Toramaru became the first teenage player to win a major title in the Japanese go world. When he became the new Meijin it was almost as if the story of the manga Hikaru no Go had come true.This book tells the story of the title match against Cho U. The first four games are presented with traditional commentaries but the momentous fifth game - regarded as being of unusually high quality - combines tradition with AI analysis which confirms the quality.The coverage of the title match is preceded by a substantial account of the history of the Meijin title. The games themselves are also given with their atmospheric content and biographical details.An index to topics in the Go Wisdom theory corpus presented in earlier books is also given.
