Where did that new-ish Hikaru no Go character info go?

I think when the new kanzenban manga has extra notes about the characters by Hotta Yumi, right? I seem to remember that someone translated them and put them on the web, but I can't find them anymore. Does anyone know where they are? 

Here's one of them (the only one I kept a copy of): 

4)  Waya Yoshitaka

He's a "good guy," although he is short tempered and gets into fights. Rather than a "nice boy," he's more of a "really good guy."

Actually, when I was asked to write a few short pieces outside the main storyline, I also wrote a story for Waya (but it was turned down).  Even so, he's a good guy who gets along really well with his fellow disciple Saeki and the other insei.

Lively and also considerate of others, Waya is liked by his peers.  "Obedient and single-minded," Waya is well taken care of by his master. 

Waya is Hikaru's lifelong friend. 

Hikaru may not notice the value of that until he becomes an adult, though.

Hmm. I'm not sure about the one that your looking for; I know of the go gorgeous translations list is here: http://hikarunogo.dreamwidth.org/61317.html

But Waya isn't linked there.

And this is EVERYTHING I love about those two and their dynamic. :DDD
