[ladyseishou]

From AMERICAN GO E-JOURNAL, October 20, 2009; Volume 10, #50:

Iyama Beats Cho Decisively To Become Youngest Meijin: Challenger Iyama Yuta 8P won Game 5 of the 34th Japanese Meijin to take the title from Cho U 9P with a decisive 4-1 score. At the age of just 20 years and 4 months Iyama also becomes the youngest major title holder in Japanese history and breaks the record that Cho Chikun 9P held for 23 years.

Can Shindou and Touya be far behind? ;-)
