Un jour, Hikaru, 11 ans, trouve dans une remise une vieille table de go. Soudain, de celle-ci surgit un fantôme qui y était enfermé : le fantôme de Saï Fujiwara, un génie du jeu de go à l'époque Heïan (VIIIe à XIIe siècle) qui s'introduit dans l'esprit de Hikaru. Acceptant de permettre à Saï de jouer au go contre quelqu'un, Hikaru fait la connaissance d'Akira Toya, fils du meilleur joueur japonais et promis lui aussi à un brillant avenir.

Yumi Hotta (堀田 由美 Hotta Yumi, most often written as ほった ゆみ) is a Japanese mangaka, best known as the author of the best-selling manga and anime series Hikaru no Go, about the game of go that is widely credited for the recent boom of the game in Japan. The idea behind Hikaru no Go began when Yumi Hotta played a pick-up game of go with her father-in-law. She thought that it might be fun to create a manga based on this traditional board game, and began the work under the title of Nine Stars (九つの星 Kokonotsu no Hoshi), named for the nine "star points" on a go board. She later worked with Takeshi Obata (the illustrator) and Yukari Umezawa (5-Dan, the supervisor) in the creation of Hikaru no Go. She won the 2000 Shogakukan Manga Award and the 2003 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for Hikaru no Go.
