Hikaru, Hikaru no go in ADA cartoon solitaire
February 5, 2005 (Press Release) --
Hikaru, Hikaru no go in ADA cartoon solitaire.
Hikaru Shindo, a 6th grader, finds an old go table in the attic of his grandfather's house. He sees some blood stains on the go table, and tries to wipe it off... when a ghost dressed in Heian period clothes pops out, and takes over his body.
The ghost happens to be Fujiwara no Sai, a member of the court during the Heian period. Sai was one of the two men who was assigned as the go tutor to the emperor. The other tutor was envious of Sai, and challenged him to a go match -- whoever wins gets to stay as the court's go master. Sai's opponent cheats during the match, and before Sai could say anything about it, the opponent accused Sai of cheating. Sai was banished from the court, and because of regret and anger, he committed suicide. But as with all unrepented souls, Sai was unable to leave the material world...
Shindou Hikaru: Protagonist who is assisted by Sai. Curiousity lingering, young Hikaru Shindou, on that fateful day changes his life, forever. In grandfathers attic Shindou discovers a mysterious Go board, not knowing the tainted past this board would have, Shindou caresses his hand over the board etched in blood.
From the depths of another world comes past Go legend Fujiwara Sai, from then on Shindous life as it is would take its most significant curve.
Fujiwara-no-Sai :Fujiwara, a man who was a Go instructor to the emperor of Japan a thousand years ago. However, because of bad sportsmanship of his opponent during a game, Sai was accused of cheating and banashied from the city. With no livelihood or any other reason to live, Sai commited suicide by drowning himself. Now, he haunts a Go board, and wants to accomplish the perfect Go game, called the "Hand of God" which he hopes to do through Hikaru. If Hikaru will be able to do it or not (or even wants to) will have to be seen.
Akira Toya:Hikaru's biggest rival and Kaio Middle School student. Akira was already a very strong player when Hikaru first began playing and was amazed by Hikaru's seemingly impossible strength. Since his first game with Hikaru, Akira has been obssessed with discovering the secret behind Hikaru's strength.
