8th Kisei

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1984 Kisei was the 8th edition of the Kisei tournament. Since Cho Chikun won the previous year, he is given an automatic place in the final. Eight players battled in a knockout tournament to decide the final 2. Those two would then play each other in a best-of-3 match to decide who would face Cho. Rin Kaiho became the challenger after beating Sonoda Yuichi 2 games to 0, but lost to Cho 4 games to 2.
