Oh, I realize that a go player would need ID; I meant the education part. I don't think that it is a requirement for becoming a pro, except possibly some kind of record of having finished the compulsory education. Obviously they need a bank account, as was mentioned in some episode/chapter, and that comes with its own complications. You are a foreigner living in Japan, correct? Have you gotten a Japanese bank account? Was it difficult? I think that when a friend of mine lived abroad for a while she couldn't get an account because of some requirements; might have been because she was living there only temporarily. It wasn't in Japan, though.

Although Sai is clearly Japanese, so the foreigner aspect doesn't really come to play in his case. He might need to prove that he lives there permanently, though.

He might need to prove that he lives there permanently, though.
The problem isn't that. It's in ownership of the money. Without ID, anyone could walk into the bank and say, "I'm Fujiwara Sai, here's what I want you to do with my money." The bank takes ID before hand, and then every time you come, they ask you to produce ID.

There are other reasons that have to do with money-laundering prevention and compliance. Suffice to say, no ID, no bank account. (But that's a completely different issue from foreigners opening accounts. Yang Hai, for example, would have trouble. So would Touya Meijin in China, actually.)

I suspect compulsory education is all that is required, but you have me there. If you _really_ care, I'll try to decipher the Ki-in's webpage and see if they have something listed, but I'd rather not... ^_^;

I do have a Japanese bank account. In fact, I have two. I also have two credit cards from Japanese institutions, though admittedly I've been turned down from one more. After six months in the country it becomes much easier to get credit/bank accounts, but it's still not easy. I'm the only foreigner I know with credit cards, though I wonder if it's just because other people can't be bothered to apply for them. XD

No need just, just pondering. :)

That makes sense. As for the credit cards, I have this image that many smaller stores in Japan don't take credit card, is that true? If it is and people have to pay in cash for the everyday shopping, it would make sense that they don't see the point in getting one if they're not into online shopping. It might be that I'm wrong, though; it's difficult to tell fact from fiction when I haven't actually lived there myself. I'm so used to paying with a card that I usually don't even carry (much) cash nowadays, so I would certainly have problems in a case like that! Even some of the stands in the market place here take credit cards and they don't even sell anything expensive, but vegetables and such.

Yes, a lot of stores don't take cards, but I actually use credit cards a lot. Supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, karaoke, tons of places. I try to use cards when I can because I get points (and I don't have to go to the ATM as much).

Speaking of ATMs, I hate being charged to have access to my money! *groans* That's one thing Japan fails at doing. So many ATM fees.
