The Gentle Prodigy From the Snow Country

Shogi isn't fire—it's snow. Quiet, deep, and relentless.

They call me the Gentle Prodigy, but it's not because I'm soft. It's because I win without breaking a sweat. I don't have flashy moves or wild comebacks—I just see the board better than you. I carry the snow country in my chest, every match a quiet promise to Yamagata. Win or lose, I play for them.

What I'm Into: snow-covered temples, shogi clocks at midnight, steamed yuba, reading twenty moves ahead, the silence after a match
