A character account for Waya Yoshitaka!




IM: Waya128 (AIM)
Character name and series: Waya Yoshitaka, Hikaru no Go.

Character personality: Here we have Waya Yoshitaka
a years down the road following the intense competitions of the series,
but he's naturally still the same person at heart. In social
situations he's very friendly and upbeat, though he can be intense
when in competitions. He has a tendency to look after the younger or
less experienced people around him. At home he's more introverted, he
can fall into self reflection. He has quite an active internet life
and he's not shy online or in person. He's good at making friends, has
a habit of boasting, though he usually can back up his words with
action. He loves to have a good time, and maybe critically: he knows
he's got looks!
Background: Although Waya's first name is Yoshitaka, I can't call him
by anything but his family name, so Waya is how I'll always refer to
him. Waya was an up and coming Insei in the Go world, he played Go all
the time at his lessons and online, going by the handle "Zelda". He
was sort of like a big brother to Hikaru when he came to their class,
but their mentor-pupil relationship quickly became an at times intense
rivalry. Waya regrets his inability to catch up to Hikaru once the
other player passed him in Go skill, questioning his natural and
developed talents versus those of players like Hikaru and Akira. At
home his life was mostly focused on the computer, he had little time
with his family. After the events of the series he continued to play
professionally, but around the time when he would enter the game he's
been cutting back on his tournament playing in order to protect his
health. He feels like he might drive himself to burn out, and wants to
live to be an annoying old Go champion like those he strives to
defeat.
