Mamoru Hatakeyama (畠山 鎮, Hatakeyama Mamoru, born June 3, 1969) is a Japanese professional shogi player ranked 8-dan.
Early life and apprenticeship
Hatakeyama was born in Kanagawa Prefecture on June 3, 1969. He earned how to play shogi when he was seven years old after watching his eldest brother playing against his father. Although he and his twin brother Naruyuki learned the game at the same age, he always seem to following in Naruyuki's footsteps.
He entered the Japan Shogi Association's apprentice school in 1984 as apprentice to shogi professional Masayuki Moriyasu [ja] at the rank of 6-kyū, even though Naruyuki had entered a year earlier and was already ranked 3-kyū. Hatakeyama was promoted to 1-dan in 1986 (the same year as Naruyuki), and to full-professional status and the rank of 4-dan in October 1989 along with Naruyuki after both brothers finished the 5th 3-dan League (April 1989 – September 1989) with records of 12 wins and 6 losses.
Shogi professional
In 2003, Hatakeyama became the first shogi professional to lose an official NHK Cup NHK Cup TV Shogi Tournament game to a female shogi professional when he was defeated by Hiroe Nakai in Round 1 of the 53rd NHK Cup.
On September 11, 2023, Hatakeyama became the 60th professional player to win 600 official games.
