In January 2018, Minami became the 20th shogi professional to win 800 official games and be awarded Shogi Honor Fighting-spirit Award by the JSA.[3][4]
Minami finished the 81st Meijin Ranking League season with a record of 1 wins and 9 loses in Class C2.[5] Since his result earned him a second relegation point,[5] he decided to become "Free class" player instead of risking the automatic relegation that happens when a player receives three relegation points in Class C2.[5][6]
Playing styleedit
Minami is known for his steady style of starting games slowly as for his quiet manner and strict seiza posture during games. For these reasons, his style is often referred to as the Jizō-style (地蔵流, Jizōryū) after the Jizō statues common to Japanese Buddhism.[3]
Minami has appeared in major title matches a total of sixteen times, and has won seven major titles.[8] In addition to major titles, Minami has won six non-title championships during his career.[9]
Note: Tournaments marked with an asterisk (*) are no longer held.
