Hikaru Shindo is just a normal 12 year old Japanese boy. One day,
he's rumaging through his Grandfather's things to see if he can find
something to sell and pulls out an old Go board. A ghostly apparation
appears out of the board and tells Hikaru his sad story. His name is
Sai Fujiwara, a man who was a Go instructor to the emperor of Japan a
thousand years ago. However, because of bad sportsmanship during a
game, Sai was accused of cheating and banashied from the city. With no
livelihood or any other reason to live, Sai commited suicide by
drowning himself. Now, he haunts a Go board, and wants to accomplish
the perfect Go game, called the "Hand of God" which he hopes to do
through Hikaru. If Hikaru will be able to do it or not (or even wants
to) will have to be seen.
