go seigen

Wu Qingyuan (呉清源) (born May 19, 1914) known to the world as the Japanese Go Seigen, is considered by many to be the greatest player of the game of go in the 20th century. He was born in Fujian province, in China, and moved to Japan in 1928. When he naturalized as a Japanese citizen, he used the name Go Izumi (吳泉 pronouced in Japanese.) He later returned to his old name. His surname 吳 (pinyin Wu2) reads the same as 碁 in Japanese. As a result, some Japanese said he was born to play go. Go Seigen is commonly considered to be among the best to have ever played the game. Mr. Teramoto, Go Seigen's manager, has said "Seigen is one of three go players who will still be famous several hundred years from now. The other two are Dosaku (1677 - 1702) and Shusaku (1829 - 1862)." http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/orient/go/special/goseigen.html He is well known, along with Kitani Minoru, as being one of the leading exponents of the shin fuseki, a period of experimentation in the opening of the game that broke away from traditional moves.
