Ai Yashajin (
Appearance[]
Ai's full appearance
Ai is a young girl with long black hair with a gradient of red color and red eyes.
She is seen wearing her grade school uniform.
Personality[]
The atmosphere that surrounded Ai was completely different compared to Ai Hinatsuru. It didn’t take long for Yaichi Kuzuryuu to understand that she is a wild mare. As Yaichi took her as a disciple, he needed a different approach to tame her. Defeating her in a match with 4-piece handicap, Yaichi found out that she possesses outstanding talent and an unyielding heart. She plays a completely different style of shogi compared to Ai's heavily offensive style, called uke-shogi.
History[]
Ai is living in a mansion in Kobe with her grandfather, Kouten Yashajin. Her father was an amateur Meijin while her mother was a member of a shogi club in her university days. Both of her parents passed away in an accident and shogi was the only thing they had left for her.
Plot[]
Episode 4: The other Ai[]
After Yaichi Kuzuryuu visited the mansion in Kobe, he finally met the girl named Ai Yashajin, who was a 9-year-old girl and the daughter of a Meijin fan. Ai lost her two parents when she was little and grew up with nothing but shogi. Yaichi tested her ability with a 4-piece handicap, and found that she already had the basic foundations and that her specialty was the uke-shogi. However, she still lost the game. When Yaichi learned of his family's circumstances after the game, her grandfather pleaded him to take care of her.
Etymology[]
- The name Ai means "heaven, sky" (天) (a) and "clothing, garment" (衣) (i).
- Ai's surname Yashajin means "female demon" (夜叉) (yasha) and "god" (神) (jin).
Trivia[]
- Ai's given name, age and even her body size are all identical to Ai Hinatsuru.
