Hello,
I am about 8k KGS and am looking for a teacher. I hope to one day work/live in Japan and enjoy learning about the Japanese go scene. Does anyone know of Japanese pro players (current or former, living in the US or otherwise) who give online lessons?
Thank you!

Re: Lessons from Japanese Pro
Jim Kerwin is not Japanese but he lived there long enough and has Japanese pro credentials. I have heard he is a good teacher.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Good thinking, thanks for the suggestion.
