However, because of bad sportsmanship of his opponent during a game, Sai was accused of cheating and banished from the city.

Now, he haunts a Go board, and wants to accomplish the perfect Go game, called the "Hand of God" which he hopes to do through Hikaru.


Akira Toya

The son of Koyo Toya, Akira is already a very strong go player when Hikaru first begins playing and is amazed by Hikaru's seemingly impossible strength.
