Kansai Ki-in
A go apprentice is a student learning to play Go at an institution, typically with the aim of becoming a professional player. In Japan, such a student is called an "insei" (literally, "institution student"). Institutions for insei include the Nihon Ki-in (Japanese Go Association) and the Kansai Ki-in (Kansai Go Association). The equivalent of Go insei in Korea is "Yeon gu saeng" (), read "Ken kyū sei" in Japanese and "Yán jiū shēng" (, also meaning "graduate student") in Chinese.
