Being a Go-player myself, I also note the convention that the playing of
Go is used as an indicator that the character lives in a different world
from commoners--villains play Go, whereas commoners (and samurai
masquerading as commoners) play shogi, but Go is also played by
high-ranking samurai whom you could never imagine lowering themselves to
dress as commoners and mingle with the masses, such as Oooka Echizen.
