Aguang began to become interested in Go after meeting Zuo Wei, who sincerely likes Go, and Taya Ryo, a young genius with a famous father.

After entering junior high school, he joined the Go club and had the opportunity to participate in a national competition, which made Aguang start to take Go seriously. He was making rapid progress.

Introduction to Takeru Obata

The first time Obata Takeru's name was seen by ordinary comic fans, it was probably Nobuhiro Watsuki's casual remarks in the single volume of "Rurouni Kenshin": "I'm sorry, I borrowed this character from Mr. Obata again..."

As the second generation of Japanese cartoonists, he is actually not an old man. Obata Takeru’s sharpness has always been admired by his disciples (Fumiya Sato in "Kindaichi", Nobuhiro Tsuki and Oda in "One Piece"). Eiichiro, etc.); until the unprecedented success of the national comic "Spirit of the Game"!

In 1986, when he was still a sophomore in high school and an innocent boy, Takeru Obata submitted "CYBORG Grandpa G" (Super Mechanical Grandpa G) to "WEEKLY JUMP" magazine and won the POPSTEP Award; he entered the field of comics from then on.

After a series of cumulative serializations, such as "The Adventure of the Devil RANPU RANPU"; "The Puppet Master Detective Sakon Puppet Story" based on the mystery drama written by Sura Rakuma has shown a unique edge, that is, the fusion of fashion and traditional art. The perfect combination, and the atmosphere control that shines invisibly; next is "Soul of Chess" that shocked the entire East Asia. Takeru Obata used a script written by Yumi Horita, who is said to be a housewife, and depicts how a child named Hikari Kondo encounters the ghost of Fujiwara Sawei, a chess player from a thousand years ago, and is inspired by him to enter the palace of chess. This youth inspirational development comic has introduced many new generations of children into the world of black and white, blowing a breath of fresh air into the Go world that has been sluggish in recent years. It can be said to be a masterpiece of the times! Our country also has genuine editions introduced by Tianjin People's Fine Arts Publishing House. At present, "DEATH NOTE" (Death Note), a collaboration between Obata Takeru and Ohba Miyako, is being serialized. It returns to the embrace of detection with a strange book of life and death, and performs a battle of wits with ease.

[Special Diary No. 1: DEATH NOTE]

Name: Yagami Yue

Time: December 1, 2003

Note: He calls himself the messenger of justice in the world, and wants to treat criminals as cockroaches and massacre them in batches.

The slightly confused Death God Liuyu looks scary and avant-garde: an upside-down broom head, long teeth and protruding eyes, weird black wings, and a dress full of rock and metal music. He left a book of "DEATH NOTE" that he had chosen for his life, and it was picked up by Yagami Yue, a middle school boy with excellent academic performance. The black background and white text on the note read: "It does not work on people you have never met, and it only works once between people with the same name and surname. After the name is written, if the cause of death is also written, it will be calculated in the time unit of the human world. Within 40 seconds, the person will die as written. If the cause of death is not written, it will be cardiac paralysis. After writing the cause of death, you will have 6 minutes and 40 seconds to record the details of the death. You can see it once you touch the note. Hear the appearance and voice of the God of Death. "Yue discovered that as long as he acts according to what the note says, no matter where the person whose name is written is, he will die as scheduled!

So Yue, who was confident that he had the best brains among high school students in Japan, "decided! I will use the Death Note to completely change the world! I will become the God of the New World!" He will use the Note to eradicate the world. Evil, taking advantage of the fact that his father was a policeman, began to systematically hunt down and kill the perpetrators listed in the police station files, broadcast on TV news or seen in daily life.

The god of death Liu Yu followed and found that Yue was both ambitious and naive, intelligent yet stubborn and conceited. Death was attracted and fell in love with eating apples! So he decided to stay with Yue and watch the show.

The bizarre deaths began to cause people to panic, and the murderer was given the codename "KIRA".

At this time, L appeared with an unknown appearance, unknown name, unknown identity, and everything unknown. He mobilized the US FBI and the Japanese Metropolitan Police to start tracking the murderer Kira. However, Yue always played a superior game, and not only the entire FBI force that had sneaked into Japan was wiped out, but L's challenging death incidents continued. L also had to appear from behind the scenes. This young man with an informal personality loves to squat on a chair and brainstorm. He cast his excited eyes on Yue and was admitted to the University of Tokyo, which Yue also applied for.

When both of them spoke at the freshman entrance ceremony with perfect scores, the head-on conflict also began... Is Yue's overconfidence increasingly pulling him away from his normal life and original aspirations? ? Will anyone who touches his secrets die violently, including his biological parents and sister? Will Yue accept the deal from the God of Death and exchange his life for the God of Death's eyeballs that can see into the mysteries of human life? How will L reason about a serial murder case involving superpowers? This series of questions is being pushed to a climax step by step by Takeshi Obata's high-quality serialization of more than 20 pages per week!

Comments: "DEATH NOTE" inherits the reasoning puzzles and criminal psychological analysis of "Puppet Master Detective Sakon", and at the same time develops the beautiful pictures and tense plot atmosphere of "Soul of the Game". It is the most popular drama of 2004. A detective comic that you can look forward to!

[Special Diary No. 2: Soul of Chess]

Name: Fujiwara Sawei

Time: Thousand Years of Wandering

Note: He is here Looking for the "hand of God", my eyes are lost in the distant clouds.

An ordinary elementary school student, Shindo Hikaru, who regarded Go as "an old man's pastime", wiped the old chess table in his grandfather's attic, and what appeared was not the devil's servant in Aladdin's lamp, but It's the ghost who loves Go - Fujiwara Sawei. Under Sawei's "force", Xiaoguang gradually fell in love with Go from knowing nothing about it. He joined the club to meet chess friends and entered the chess academy to compete with masters... Fujiwara Sawei played chess through Xiaoguang's hands, and Xiaoguang also Gradually becoming a master of Go, realizing that each mountain is higher than the other, and in the duel of intelligence and state of mind, he and his opponents who are both enemies and friends are sympathetic to each other...

A small game originated in ancient China, After thousands of years of training and countless legends, it is still an unconquerable fortress in the computer world. Only the mind of that genius is playing chess in a silent room, with the grass growing and the orioles flying quietly on the outside, and the turbulence of the mysteries of the world on the inside.

Sao Wei comes from the most elegant era in Japan - the Heian period. He has long hair that flows like a waterfall, a hunting coat with flowing sleeves, a black cage hat with aristocratic temperament, and a hand to cover up the coquettishness. Folding fan with concentration. Zuo Wei, who once had his own way of thinking, is now more dexterous and considerate, focused on challenging the limits of thinking, and brought Xiaoguang from a layman into the door of speculation and inspiration. After the unparalleled game between Sutra and Ya, he disappeared into the underworld. In the dark, it is accompanied by countless broken hearts of comic fans.

And always wearing "5" (Japanese and "Go" both pronounce "GO", a pun) Xiaoguang still has a long life chess game to play... the animated version of "Go Soul" and The game version and the real-life version have been launched one after another, which has become the savior of the chess industry in recent years!

Not only that, a thousand-year-old ghost whose charm floats above the night smoke tells the story of the supreme and true art and pursuit hidden in this ordinary world.

[Special Diary No.3: Puppet Master Detective Sakon]

Name: Tachibana Sakon Puppet Ukon

Time: The puppet carved in the second year of Meiji has been Centenary History

Annotation: Controlling dolls means controlling humans, and ventriloquism means reading minds.

"Puppet Master Detective Sakon", "Kindaichi Boy's Casebook" and "Detective Conan" are also known as the three masterpieces of detective comics. Compared with Kindaichi's emphasis on reasoning and Conan's love of science, Sakon has a bit more mystery.

Tachibana Sakon, a handsome and shy young man, is touring in an elegant wandering style with an antique bunraku puppet (named "Ukon") carved in the second year of Meiji.

Like other detective themes, there is always bloodshed wherever you go.

The shy Sakon only had to take control of Ukon, and when he used ventriloquism to spit out a pungent tone, he seemed to be divided into two people: Sakon calmly made a careful reasoning about the crime of murder and robbery. The puppet Ukon vividly reveals the criminal mind, and the two partners become bold and sharp detectives to uncover the mystery behind many murderous intentions.

Perhaps the original author wrote that Rakuma was sentimental, splitting himself into two parts: Sakon and Ukon, in the form of holding his left hand with his right hand. Takeru Obata uses absolutely Western-style straight lines and powerful movements to express this elegant and sad classical beauty. The painting style of this early work is not as rounded and mature as "Soul of the Game", but it has a rare sense of claustrophobia. , perfectly matches the sad theme; at the same time, it vividly depicts the charm of Japanese traditional arts such as Noh drama and Bunraku.

Comments: The original detective route, coupled with the romanticism of ventriloquism, gives the Sakon detective series a dramatic effect. On the other hand, the lively Ukon is just "another Sakon", his alter ego expressed through ventriloquism, but he seems to have a new life. In this lively, spiritual and slightly sad bond, whose life has become whose puppet?

[The intertwining of light and shadow is beautiful]

Obata Takeru's "light and shadow" picture characteristics, in "Sakon", use high-contrast black and white contrast to create a dark and terrifying atmosphere; in "Sakon"; "Chess Soul" highlights the brightness and color saturation, which complements the theme of juvenile comics; in "DEATH NOTE", the highlight contrast is restored again, pushing the plot tension to a new height.

Many years later, what we will never forget is when Sakon, with an elegant expression without joy or anger, raised Ukon and walked away into the autumn evening with colorful fallen leaves; His eyes were cast on the black and white rhinoceros on the chessboard; as if with the sound of metal collision, between the moon and L, the black god of death was soaring arrogantly... This is the "genius once in ten years", Mr. Takeshi Obata, The magnificent dream of thousands of years of dissoluteness brought to us!
