'''Honinbō''' (本因坊, ''Hon'inbō'') was the name of one of the ] of ] in ]. Easily the strongest school of Go for most of its existence, it was established in 1612 and survived until 1940.

Upon the closure of the school, the title ''Hon'inbō'' came to be used for the winner of the ], which is now an annual professional go event in Japan. It is run under the ], meaning that at any given time there is a player who can use the title Hon'inbō. It is customary for Japanese players to take a special personal name as Hon'inbō, a unique feature of this title; for example ] held the title for nine years, and during this time was referred to as Hon'inbō Shukaku. Players of other nationalities by custom do not adopt a special name, but do use the Hon'inbō title.

Hon'inbō Shūsai sold his title to the Japan Go Association before retiring in 1936, effectively ending the Hon'inbō line.<ref>https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2016/12/03/books/book-reviews/exploration-game-heart-master-go/#.WzoxDNVKjIU</ref>

All three of the "go saints" (or '']'') came from this school— Dosaku, Shusaku and Jowa (although Jowa is frequently reviled because of his machinations while trying to become '']''). Most of the holders of the ''Meijin'' title (awarded to a player recognised by all as strongest) were also from this house. Another prominent member was ] (秀策, 1829–1862), who was heir to become head of the school, but died of ] before officially becoming Hon'inbō.

The ] decided to name players who had won the Hon'inbō tournament 5 times or more in a row (making them Honorary Hon'inbō) would be given the Hon'inbō prefix after ] won the title 10 times in a row. This meant that ] (9 in a row), ] (7), ] (5), and ] (10) may be addressed as 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th Hon'inbō respectively whether or not they are currently holding the Hon'inbō title.

Redirect to:

  • From the same page name with diacritics: This is a redirect from a page name that has diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to essentially the same page name without those marks or a "List of..." page anchored to a promising list item name without diacritics.
    • Apply this redirect (without piping) when the subject page concerns language translation or foreign language equivalents. Other pages that use this redirect should be updated with a direct link to the redirect target (again, without piping).
    • Sort these redirects with {{DEFAULTSORT:(title without diacritics)}} and be sure to use a colon ( : ) rather than a pipe ( | ) to access the magic word directly.
    • This rcat can also be used on redirects to sections and anchors to indicate the diacritics version of a term/name written both ways.
