New Eiou Title challenger was born in April 2th.  His name is Wakamu Deguchi 6-dan.  He beat Hattori 4-dan with 142 moves and became Eiou Title challenger and promoted to 6-dan.

 

 He had been playing shoureikai 3-dan League for 6 years and became professional Shogi player at the age of 23.  

 

He is pupils of  Inoue 9-dan.  Inoue 9-dan has a lot of Pupils, for example, Funae 6-dan, Inaba 8-dan, Sugai 8-dan. 

  

  He got married to Keika Kitamura Ladies 1-dan  in 2021.  I think that he want to get title and give his wife a Wedding anniversary gift.

 

Fujii Eiou and Deguchi 6-dan  played in Shinjin Ou Tournament in 2018. Fujii 7-dan(at that time )  won the Shinjin ou and became the youngest Shinjin ou. Score was Fujii 7-dan two win.
