Tsujii, Takeshi

辻井武史

Tsujii Takeshi is a 9-dan professional shogi player who has held an A-rank for the past eight years. He has a fondness for wordplay and craves public attention.
Others in the shogi community refer to him as 'a waste of good looks' because of his tendency toward dad jokes and terrible puns. He is typically the only one who laughs at his own gags.
Tsujii faced protagonist Kiriyama Rei in the quarterfinals of the 20th Lion King Tournament.
