Fujii joins Habu as only players in shogi history with 7 titles

Shogi prodigy Sota Fujii (R) reviews Game 5 of the best-of-seven Meijin series against Akira Watanabe after clinching the prestigious title at a traditional Japanese inn in Takayama, Nagano Prefecture, central Japan, on June 1, 2023. The 20-year-old Fujii became the second player in the board game's history to hold seven titles simultaneously after Yoshiharu Habu in 1996 and also became the youngest Meijin title holder, breaking the previous record of 21 years and two months, set by Koji Tanigawa in 1983.
