Introduction

Hikaru no Go (ヒカルの碁, literally The Go of Hikaru or Hikaru's Go) is a manga (a Japanese comic) and an anime (a Japanese cartoon) about a boy (Hikaru Shindo) who discovers the ancient game when he finds an old board in the attic and meets the spirit of a past Go master (Fujiwara-no-Sai).

Thanks to the comic, Go has come into fashion again with the Japanese youth. Published by the [ext] Jump Comics division of [ext] Shueisha in Japan, the hilarious storyline is by Yumi Hotta*; the gripping art is by Takeshi Obata; and photogenic pro 5 dan Yukari Umezawa (Umezawa Yukari) gets credited for go technical advice. The series was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, a popular Japanese manga magazine. The anime was produced by [ext] Studio Pierrot and it was aired on [ext] TV Tokyo from 2001 to 2003. New Years' specials were aired in January 2003 and January 2004.

The Hikaru no Go manga is published by VIZ Media ([ext] http://www.viz.com) in the United States and Canada, and the Hikaru no Go anime has been licensed by VIZ Media in the United States and Canada. The manga is serialized in the United States version of Shonen Jump ([ext] http://www.shonenjump.com), while the first episodes of the anime are available for viewing on a website run by the Cartoon Network, [ext] Toonami Jetstream. It seems each episode will be available for a limited time only, and the site requires Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player 10, and Macromedia Flash Player 8. In North America Hikaru no Go is also available on the [ext] ImaginAsian TV Channel.

Hikaru no Go is often nicknamed "Hikago" (ヒカ碁).

It's about the main character Hikaru who got possesed by a ghost Sai. Sai's really a good at playing a kind of board game called go. He tries to achieve god hand, the move of heaven, even after death. Hikaru tried to help him and ended up playing go himself.

But like most game series, it's really long. 75 episodes. don't try unless you really plan to finish this. and that doesn't even include the ovas.

but i have to admit the characters are really developed. you would notice a great chane in hikaru's character throughout the series. like a totally different person. they achieved this quite sucessfully thanks to the long series. thst's probably it's strongest point.
