Igo Shogi Channel Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tetsushi Yamaguchi), operating the CS broadcast 'Igo Shogi Channel' and the YouTube channel 'Igo Shogi Plus', will broadcast the '84th Meijin Match, Best-of-Seven: Sota Fujii (Meijin) vs. Tetsuro Itodani (8-dan)' with a live broadcast of all games!

The highest title match in the Shogi world, the '84th Meijin Match, Best-of-Seven', is finally set to begin this year.

Sota Fujii, the Meijin, who won the Meijin title at the youngest age in history, will be challenged by Tetsuro Itodani, 8-dan, who has a record of one Ryuo title.

Itodani, 8-dan, earned the right to challenge after just one year of returning to Class A, and will step onto the stage of the Meijin Seven-Match series for the first time.

Furthermore, it has been approximately 40 years since a Shogi board member (serving in a director role) became a challenger.

The two have had numerous encounters, but in their head-to-head record, Meijin Fujii has a significant lead, making him a formidable opponent for the challenger.

Nevertheless, Itodani, 8-dan, has fought through many fierce battles to reach the stage of the Seven-Match series.

Will the reigning champion Fujii, who symbolizes modern Shogi, defend his title, or will Itodani, 8-dan, achieve his long-cherished dream of becoming Meijin?

Please enjoy the exciting best-of-seven match that will decide the pinnacle of the Shogi world, in real-time.
