		Hikaru, along with Akira and a Kansai Go player named Kiyoharu Yashiro are selected to represent Japan, while Hong Su-Yong (a Korean Go player who was beaten by Hikaru earlier in the series) and two others represent Korea and three of Shinichiro Isumi's Chinese friends represent their country.
		Hikaru no Go is published in English in the United States Shonen Jump magazine, and in individual graphic novels.

	Hikaru no Go
		Hikaru is a pretty typical 6th grader until he and a friend find an ancient Go board amongst his grandfather's things, and he finds himself confronted by Sai.
		Hikaru no Go is a relatively new show, and it is a colorful extravaganza.
		Go is presented as a somewhat foreign game within the show itself, and the audience isn't expected to know much about it.

		Volume 1 of Hikaru no Go is 187 pages in 7 chapters; with a simple layout and easily followed script.
		Hikaru no Go is drawn in the modern manga style, with a heavy use of screen tones to indicate different shades.
		There have raves about it helping to create interest in Go among Japanese school children; if you're seeking a manga with the spitfire of a boy's manga but with a little bit more strategy, this is the manga for you.

	Hikaru no Go (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The story is about Hikaru, a 6th grader, who while digging around in his grandfather's attic, finds an old, stained Go board, and is found in turn by the spirit of an ancient Go master.
		Once Hikaru accepts the "reality" that he is sharing his body with Sai the Go spirit, he decides to go to a Go parlor to try out Sai's tutoring.
		Hikaru has no real idea of what he is doing or why, he just follows along, in as much of a state of bemusement as I was watching.

	Animefringe: Features: Hikaru no Go
		Hikaru is a 6th grader in modern Japan who has a dilemma that I know I can relate to - he flunked his last history test pretty badly, and his parents cut off his allowance.
		Hikaru no Go just started its run on TV Tokyo a few short months ago in October of 2001, and already there is a collectible card game and a Game Boy Advance game for the series.
		Hikaru no Go is geared towards junior-high age children of both sexes, but judging from fan groups online, both the manga and anime are wildly popular across every age group and around the globe.

	Hanami Gumi Anime Reviews - Hikaru no Go
		The problem is, Hikaru thinks that Go is boring game for old people much to the chagrin of Sai (the spirit), who loves the game with a passion and has to resort to throwing tantrums and making bribes to get Hikaru to cooperate.
		Hikaru, being a child, is very mean to Akari and rejects her when she tries to learn Go as well.
		I was a bit relieved that Hikaru's voice wasn't as high pitched as I expected for a typical 6th grade boy (not that it's not high-pitched, but it doesn't make me twitch), Akira's voice hit the mark as well, and Akari's voice doesn't make me shudder, so I was quite pleased with the voices.

	Absolute Anime / Hikaru no Go
		Sai was once a great Go player but killed himself after he lost a rigged round of go (Go is a Japanese game of strategy).
		One day Hikaru finds a Go board up in his grandpa's attic and notices a blood stain on the board, but the only one who can see the stain is Hikaru.
		Hikaru repeatedly tries to get rid of the stain by rubbing it off with his shirt, and that is when the spirit of Sai emerges and enters Hikaru's mind.

	"Hikaru no go" (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Hikaru no go (HNG) is a different sort of club film, a wonderfully intricate one that I could hardly stop watching through 26 or so hours spread over ten DVDs.
		Hikaru grows at such a credible pace that at the conclusion, despite his certain future, he's still losing games that a more "Rocky"-like hero would win.
		Hikaru's and Touya Akira's Go abilities undermine the traditional hierarchy of age.

	Sensei's Library: Hikaru No Go
		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).
		Tetsuo hates Go because he likes Shogi better and because Akira is better than he is, yet he still plays Go from time to time to keep his skills limber.

		Hikaru no Go is somewhat of a coming of age tale about young Shindo Hikaru, who unleashes the spirit of a long deceased Go master from the Heien era when he is able to spot a blood stain on a go board that is invisible to everyone else.
		Initially, Hikaru is an average child who likes sports, is failing his classes, and has little interest in playing go, but soon he has a fateful encounter with Touya Akira, another child his own age.
		Through the course of this story, Hikaru will learn what it means to have meaning in his life, to be focused on something larger than himself, and to deal with both the joys of victory and the sorrows of defeat and loss, both in front of a go board and in his life.

	The Comic Book Guy.com: "Hikaru no Go" Review
		However Hikaru quite simply tells Sai that he has no intrest in playing Go at all, as Go is considered to be a game played only by old people, and there are a lot more interesting things he could be doing.
		To make matters worse Hikaru made the mistake of claiming that he was a beginner to more then one person, and this win not only gains him a rival in a game he doesn't even like, but it also gets Hikaru lots of unwanted attention from Go players and magazines.
		Well "Hikaru no Go" has a large cast, but as time goes on older cast members are either reduced to cameo appearances, or they disappear altogether.

	Read About Comics » Hikaru No Go Vol. 1
		Hikaru’s a typical young boy growing up in Japan, complete with short attention and interests only on new and flashy things.
		In some ways, Hikaru no Go can be compared to other “sports” or “competition” comics from Japan, like Iron Wok Jan!, The Prince of Tennis, and Slam Dunk in that it’s a story about learning how to become the best in one’s chosen arena, peppered with competitions and tournaments large and small.
		I think part of the appeal with Hikaru no Go comes from the fact that anyone can play Goâ”it’s very easy to imagine yourself in the same position, especially since you as a reader are slowly learning the game along with Hikaru himself.

		While Hikaru no Go does not require any knowledge of the game of Go, it's safe to say that unless you have some attraction to the game within the first ten episodes or so, this series will not be very enjoyable.
		Hikaru encounters a wide variety of players throughout his career, and all of them, both rivals and friends, are interesting and well-developed.
		Whether or not you understand how the game of Go works, it is clear that based on the actions and emotions of the characters, no two games are ever the same, and every game helps to shape their personalities.

	Sensei's Library: Hikaru No Go Junkie
		At the time only the first two volumes of the manga had been published (no anime yet) and when I tried to find some more info on the series on the newsgroups no one knew what the hell I was talking about.
		My friend ran up to me and showed me this manga, Hikaru no Go, about two months ago, and was really disappointed when I didn't know what it was.
		Part of the explanation of this joke is that the author of the comic is named Akira Hasegawa (no relation to HasegawaAkira).
