In general, the Japan Shogi Association does not use calendar years to identify or count major title matches. It uses ordinal numbers and either the counter wordkai (回) or ki (期) instead to refer to the title match by the number of "times" or "periods" it has been held to date. For example, the Oi title match between Habu (the reigning Oi) and Namekata (the challenger) held in 2013 is officially referred to as the "54th Oi (Title) Match" (第54期王位戦, dai gojūyonki ōi sen) and not the "2013 Oi (Title) Match" because it was the 54th time the match had been held; furthermore, major title holders are referred to in a similar fashion, e.g., the official title of Habu is "54th Kisei" (第54期王位, dai gojūyonki ōi) and not "2013 Oi". So, I have added another column ("No.") to the table listing the past winners to reflect this practice. - Marchjuly (talk) 04:16, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
