Thus, per the association’s rules, he was required to withdraw from its apprentice school.[2] Segawa continued to play shogi as an amateur and won a number of national amateur tournaments which allowed him to qualify for entry into professional shogi tournaments. Segawa’s record of 17 wins and 7 losses against professionals in these tournaments led him to request that the association grant him another opportunity to become a professional. The JSA discussed Segawa’s petition at its annual general meeting in May 2005, and the membership voted 129 to 52 to grant him a special exception to attempt to become a professional.[3]The JSA arranged for him to play six games against a variety of professional opponents, stating that he would be granted 4-dan professional status if he won three games. Segawa’s opponents were to be four professional players (Hiromitsu Kanki, Toshiaki Kubo and Makoto Nakahara and Kunio Yonenaga), one female professional player (Hiroe Nakai), and one apprentice school 3-dan (Amahiko Sat\u014d).[4]The games were held from July to November 2005. Segawa lost Game One against Sat\u014d, won Game Two against Kanki, lost Game Three against Kubo, and then won Game Four against Nakai. His opponent for Game Five was originally scheduled to be Nakahara, but he was replaced by Hideyuki Takano. Segawa defeated Takano to achieve the necessary third win on November 6, 2005 and was granted professional status by the JSA on the same day. He became the first person in 61 years to obtain professional status via test shogi.[2][5]As a result of Segawa’s successful attempt to become professional, the matter was re-discussed by the JSA members during the association’s annual general meeting in May 2006, and the membership voted 154 in favor to 34 against to create a formal way for other strong amateurs to obtain professional status called the “Professional Admission Test” (\u30d7\u30ed\u7de8\u5165\u8a66\u9a13 (Puro Heny\u016b Shiken)).[6]Promotion history[edit]The promotion history of Segawa is as follows:[7]4-dan: November 6, 20055-dan: August 13, 20126-dan: November 8, 2018 The Miracle of Crybaby Shotan[edit]On September 7, 2018, the movie The Miracle of Crybaby Shottan\u00a0[ja] directed by Toshiaki Toyoda about Segawa’s life was released.[8]References[edit]^ “Kishi D\u0113tab\u0113su: Segawa Sh\u014dji” \u68cb\u58eb\u30c7\u30fc\u30bf\u30d9\u30fc\u30b9: \u702c\u5ddd\u6676\u53f8 [Professional Shogi Player Database: Sh\u014dji Segawa] (in Japanese).
