Ryuo titleholder Sota Fujii on Saturday successfully defended his title for a second time, defeating seventh-dan Takumi Ito in Otaru, Hokkaido, in the fourth match of the Ryuo shogi championship series.
Fujii swept the best-of-seven series of the 36th Ryuo tournament, the most prestigious of the eight major titles.
In October, Fujii became the first-ever player to hold all eight major titles at one time when he won the Oza title.
