Daiwa Cup

The Daiwa Cup was a Japanese professional Go tournament sponsored by Daiwa Securities Group, one of Japan's largest brokerage firms. Active during the 1990s and into the 2000s, it was part of a wave of corporate-sponsored tournaments that expanded the Japanese domestic circuit. The tournament featured a knockout format open to Nihon Ki-in professionals, contributing to the competitive calendar during the golden age of Japanese Go sponsorship.
