Go Seigen is a legendary Go player. His name is recognized by practically everyone who plays Go. He is also known by his Chinese name, Wu Qingyuan (吴清源).
Go Seigen is my Idol
"He played like the birds fly: swift and light. Suddenly the position could get frozen though, and then one would get a glimpse of the universe of variations hidden below the sky that Wu had spanned in the earlier stages."
Go Seigen is my idol. For two simple reasons: (1) He won games. (2) He won games in his unique manner. Always.

In any trade or line of interests, there must always be someone who is legendary to that trade or line of interest. Think of John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix, Akira Kurosawa, Herbert von Karajan, Jack Nicklaus, Rabindranath Tagore, Edith Piaf, the sort. In Go, the person is Go Seigen.

PIETER MIOCH INTERVIEWS GO SEIGEN
Go Seigen is one of the greatest go players of all time. Although he is getting on in years, he is still active as commentator and teacher. Pieter Mioch had the privilege of being able to interview him, and uses the opportunity to illuminate at the same time a slice of modern go history. Pieter, 31, has studied go at the local branch of the Nihon Ki-in in central Japan. He lives with his family in Kasugai City, near Nagoya. He is a steady contributor of articles about the Japanese go scene for the Dutch go association. 
John Fairbairn: Trouble is, it's all totally wrong. Go Seigen was born on 12 June under our system. He was born on 19th of the fifth month (not really May) only under the lunar system.
