The Hokuto Cup, a new tournament for young players from Japan, China and Korea, is looming, and Hikarus rival Akira has already secured one of the coveted three places on Japans team. While Hikaru battles his way to one of the two remaining spots, Akiras father baffles the go world with his unexpected retirement!
