Kensaku Segoe (瀬越憲作, Segoe Kensaku, January 1, 1889July 27, 1972) was a professional Go player. (His surname is occasionally given as Segoshi, but that appears to be a misreading, even if attested by furigana in some books he authored.)

Biography

Segoe was one of the most outstanding of teachers, having had Go Seigen, Utaro Hashimoto, and Cho Hunhyun as pupils.

He also authored numerous books, such as his Tesuji Dictionary (with Go Seigen) and Go Proverbs Illustrated.

An internal quarrel in the Nihon Ki-in led to his becoming an isolated, if very much respected, figure. His participation in competition post-1945 was quite low.

He committed suicide on July 27, 1972, shortly after his pupil Cho Hunhyun returned to South Korea for military service.
