Ginko picked up shogi at just 2 years old and became Kiyotaki's student by age 4. She's been ridiculously prolific ever since—by 11, she'd already claimed two of the six available titles for female players.
Her nickname "The Snow White of Naniwa" comes from her perfect record against other female pros, which honestly speaks for itself. She's genuinely one of the most popular shogi players around, even more so than Yaichi despite his own solid reputation. Fans and the media are pretty obsessed with her at this point.
