Gennan Inseki (井上幻庵因碩 Inseki Gennan?, 1798 - 1859) was a Japanese professional go player, and head of the Inoue house from 1824-1846. He proposed a changed numbering that made him the eleventh head (rather than tenth), by including Doseki at the head of the list.
At various times he was known as Hattori Rittetsu, Inoue Ansetsu, Intetsu, Gen(n)an Inseki, Inoue Genan Inseki. A talented player at the highest level, but unlucky in practical terms, he cuts a romantic figure even at this distance. He was involved in one of the most famous games, the game against Honinbo Shusaku containing the 'ear-reddening move'.
