Biography[edit]

A student of Yasuro Kikuchi, Yamashita turned professional in 1993. He won the 19th Kisei 2 dan division in 1994.[2] Yamashita reached the challenger finals of the Tengen in 1999.[3] His first major title came in 2000 when he defeated Honorary Gosei Koichi Kobayashi in the finals of the 25th Gosei. At the time of his win, Yamashita was the second youngest player to win a major title.[4] He also won the Shusai Prize for his play and broke the record for most games in a year with 77.[5] Yamashita defeated O Rissei for the Kisei in 2003, becoming the fourth youngest big-three (Kisei, Meijin, Honinbo) winner at 24.[6]
