About this converter
Go majors run 10 to 76 titles in this table. Rin Kaiho at 10 opens the short end. Otake and Yoda at 12 each, Takemiya at 15, Kato at 18, Satoru at 20, Keigo at 22 and Xu at 28 climb the middle. Koichi at 60 and Sakata at 64 form the veteran band. Cho Chikun and Iyama Yuta at 76 each share the top. Every figure is career major titles (Kisei, Meijin, Honinbo, Judan, Tengen, Oza, Gosei) from Nihon Ki-in profiles. Counts move yearly as finals finish, so the table pins late 2025 totals and notes the drift.
How to use it
Pick two players and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Iyama Yuta against 1 Rin Kaiho to see the 76 to 10 gap. All rows use Titles, so the unit stays fixed. Click any table row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Values pin Nihon Ki-in major totals with seven crowns counted. Iyama seven crowns twice in 2016 and 2022 pushed him to 76 to match Cho. Sakata 64 and Koichi 60 reflect closed careers and stay fixed. Active players such as Iyama and Xu gain titles yearly, so the table dates totals to late 2025. International titles stay out because domestic majors are the topic.
