[edit] Biography
Yuki was a promising player growing up. He turned pro when he was only 12, and was promoted to 9 dan in only 10 years. He plays for the Kansai Ki-in. In 2005, he challenged Hane Naoki for the Kisei title, but just lost out in the final game. He's beaten some of Japan's best players, such as Cho U, Hane Naoki, Rin Kaiho, and Mimura Tomoyasu. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to mount many titles, but has come very close.
