Mamoru Hatakeyama (畠山 鎮, Hatakeyama Mamoru, born June 3, 1969) is a Japanese professional shogi player ranked 8-dan.
Hatakeyama's twin brother Naruyuki is also a professional shogi player. They are the only twins to become professional in history and both became (4-dan) professionals on the same day.[1][2]
Early life
Hatakeyama was born in Kanagawa Prefecture on June 3, 1969.[3] He earned how to play shogi when he was seven years old after watching his eldest brother playing against his father.[2] Although he and his twin brother Naruyuki learned the game at the same age, he always seem to following in Naruyuki's footsteps.[2]
He entered the Japan Shogi Association's apprentice school in 1984 as apprentice to shogi professional Masayuki Moriyasu at the rank of 6-kyū, even though Naruyuki had entered a year earlier and was already ranked 3-kyū.[1][2] Hatakeyama was promoted to 1-dan in 1986 (the same year as Naruyuki), and to full-professional status and the rank of 4-dan in October 1989 along with Naruyuki after both brothers finished the 5th 3-dan League (April 1989 – September 1989) with records of 12 wins and 6 losses.[1][2]
Shogi professional
In 2003, Hatakeyama became the first shogi professional to lose an official NHK Cup NHK Cup TV Shogi Tournament game to a female shogi professional when he was defeated by Hiroe Nakai in Round 1 of the 53rd NHK Cup.[4][5][6]
