Tsutsui is the nerdy and kind hearted Haze junior high school Go club president who uses a play book while playing in tournaments. While he is not a strong Go player and doesn&rsquo;t play too well, he loves the game and plays with a positive attitude. Hikaru first meets Tsutsui in a &ldquo;Terakoya&rdquo; fair (it&rsquo;s Japanese food; octopus dumplings) where he would give out prizes to individuals who solved Go puzzles in Kouyo Tonya&rsquo;s book. At that time, Tsutsui was the only member of the Go club and was trying to recruit other members so his Go club can compete in tournaments with other junior high schools.

With a two-tone hairstyle and a streak of immaturity, Hikaru Shindou finds an old Go board with a hidden surprise - trapped within the Go Board is Fujiwara-no-Sai, the ghost of an ancient Go master! In the blink of an eye, Sai becomes part of Hikaru's consciousness and soon begins to learn the true essence behind this ancient game of skill and strategy.
