Takemiya Masaki has today (2021-01-14) become the 10th player in Japanese history to record 1200 career wins. His record is now 1200-764-2-0 (W-L-Jigo-Void), a W-L winning rate of 61.1%, which is on the low end of the scale for lifetime win rates. Top W-L among those who achieved 1200 wins belongs to the Kansai Ki-in's Yuki Satoshi (70.3%), who was also fastest to 1200 wins - 33 years 3 months - and youngest - 45 years 3 months). Within the Nihon Ki-in, the top "oldies" are currently as follows (ranked by number of wins): Cho Chikun 1557-870-3-4 = 64.2% Rin Kaiho 1433-940-1-2 = 60.4% Kobayashi Koichi 1424-765-2-0 = 65.1% Otake Hideo 1311-837-5-1 = 61.0% Kato Masao 1254-701-2-1 = 65.4% Hane Yasumasa 1254-701-5-0 = 64.1% Yamashiro Hiroshi 1251-672-7-0 = 65.1% O Rissei 1219-700-1-1 = 63.5% Takemiya Masaki 1200-764-2-0 = 61.1% Kobayashi Satoru 1164-634-1-0 = 64.7% Yoda Norimoto = 1152-617-2-2 = 65.1% Ishida Yoshio 1119-710-0-1 = 61.2% |

I'm sort of suprised not to see Sakata on that list, considering all his title wins. |

When Sakata was winning major titles (1961-1970), there were only 4 major go titles. Only from 1977 onwards, there are 7 major go titles. See History of major title winners. |

Sakata would have been next on the list. His tally was 1117-654-16-0, so about 63%. He lost some time through conscription and through defection to Igo Shinsha. |

This statement, and the linked page, is incomplete. There were many more titles over the years. See Obsolete Titles. Notice that Sakata won the Nihon Ki-in Championship 12 times before it was replaced by the Tengen in 1977. |
