hikaru shindo stumbles across a go board haunted by the spirit of fujiwara no sai a go player from the heian era sai wishes to play go again having not been able to since the late edo period when his ghost appeared to honinbo shusaku a top go player of that period sai s greatest desire is to attain the kami no itte 神の一手 divine move a perfect move since hikaru is the only person who can perceive him sai inhabits a part of hikaru s mind as a separate personality although not always comfortably urged by sai hikaru begins playing go despite his lack of interest in the game he begins to execute moves that sai dictates to him hikaru begins his go career in a go salon where he defeats a young boy playing at a professional level akira toya twice by following sai s instructions he subsequently begins a quest to discover the source of hikaru s strength an obsession that will dominate his life hikaru becomes intrigued by the great dedication of akira and sai to the game and decides to start playing solely on his own he is a complete novice at first but has some unique abilities to his advantage for instance once he has a basic understanding of go he can reconstruct a game play by play from memory through training at go clubs study groups and practice games with sai he becomes an insei and later a professional meeting various dedicated go players of different ages and styles along the way he also demonstrates a natural talent for the game and remains determined to prove his own abilities to akira sai and himself hikaru enters the hokuto cup an international tournament for under 18 japanese chinese and korean go professionals as the highest ranking under 18 pro akira qualifies for the tournament but hikaru has to compete in a series of games to become one of the three japanese competitors his friends waya and ochi also enter the qualifying matches he meets kiyoharu yashiro a player from the kansai ki in whose style is as strange and offbeat as his own hikaru along with akira and kiyoharu yashiro are selected to represent japan while hong suyong a korean go player who was defeated by hikaru earlier in the series and two others represent korea and three of shinichiro isumi s chinese friends represent their country the captain of the korean go team ko yong ha is interviewed and his remarks are translated for japanese viewers the translator makes an error which causes it to appear that he is disparaging the skill of honinbo shusaku who like hikaru was possessed by sai although ko yong ha later finds out he refuses to correct the error and instead emphasizes it when he realizes that it enrages hikaru who takes it as a direct affront to sai considering their achievements and skills hikaru is still slightly under akira therefore their team coach atsushi kurata chooses akira to be captain however hikaru wants to play against ko yong ha to show him that sai is the most skillful go player in the game s history atsushi kurata grants hikaru s request when they play against korea in the tournament because he sees the burning spirit in him in the end hikaru loses by only half a point japan eventually comes in last behind korea and china however the japanese team impressed both professionals from china and korea because they did much better than expected at the end of the game ko yong ha asks hikaru for his reason for playing go with tears in his eyes he answers with the line to link the far past with the far future the hidden meaning of this line indicates the links and emotional relationships between sai shusaku and hikaru
