My Take
There's something quietly poetic about a professional shogi player coming out of Shingu, Wakayama — a town wedged between deep mountains, ancient pilgrimage trails, and the Pacific coast. Born in 1992, Takahiro Ohashi is right in that sweet spot of his early thirties where shogi players tend to hit their sharpest, most dangerous form, and I find myself genuinely curious what his game looks like on the board. Shogi has this image of being a Tokyo thing, a city thing, but I always feel a little more attached to players who came up somewhere quieter, somewhere that forces you inward. Did all those hours staring at the ocean or the forested hills sharpen his reading ability? Probably not literally, but I like thinking it did. I don't know his career stats cold, but I'll be watching his games going forward.
