This is the first part of an interview with professional shogi player Ito Takumi, 7th dan. He challenged Ryuo Fujii Souta in the Ryuo tournament held last year, but lost four games in a row and was unable to take the title. "I was shown the difference in strength." While he accepted the result honestly, he did not lose his fighting pose. In the third game of the Ryuo tournament held in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, an incident occurred at an elementary school he visited the day before the match that shows Ito's straightforwardness. Recorded on January 10, 2024.
