My unchanging goal since becoming a professional is to win a title. So far I haven't succeeded, but I want to do my best at my chosen profession for the sake of my husband and family and daughter, who are all supporting me.
I also want to assist efforts to popularize go. I am grateful for the fact that go fans and people working to spread go have given me jobs as go instructor, as game referee, and running classes. With these various experiences, I want to do my best as a go player to spread go further.
At present, I am holding seminars with Reibun Ko and Yohei Shimojima; we are organizing events with go teachers and holding classes. Of course, I can't do this by myself; I am just assisting the people who play the main role in organizing these events.
I want to do whatever is within my power, increasing my contribution little by little, to help go fans enjoy the game. In the future, I hope to organize events for parents and children. |
