中国のミニ和谷　楽平 (レェピン)
(碁キャラその119)



囲碁魂に火がついたやんちゃボーイ

ナマイキな遊び盛り
大都会の北京で、碁より遊びに夢中の楽平。老師（センセイ）や榻海（ヤンハイ）に叱られてばかりだが、プロとしての実力は本物だ。

碁キャラの横顔
中国棋院所属／雲南（ウンナン）省出身／家族構成：父、母で1人っ子／伊角と何度も対局／趙石（チャオシィ）と親友。

「オレヲ甘ク見タナ」

シッコさは天下一品
勝負より遊びに熱中していた楽平だが、伊角との再戦で変化する。何が何でも勝ちたくて、がむしゃらに伊角に食らいついていく!

[絵のキャプション:]

伊角に快勝し、完全にナメ切った態度をとる楽平。

棋戦から帰ったばかりの趙石を強引に遊びに誘って、榻海にも反抗。両親の心配も都会の魅力には敵わない。

楽勝だった初戦と違い、榻海との対局で成長した伊角に苦戦する事に。

弱いと思っていた伊角に負けて悔しい楽平。負けず嫌いな性格で、へばりついては勉強、勉強!何度でも勝負、勝負!

Just wanted to say, I really appreciate your translating these profiles (from the Gorgeous Character Guide, right?). Would you link on hikarunogo when you're done? Or I can link for you, if you'd prefer. ^^

[phnx]

Yep, they're from the Gorgeous Character Guide. I'm a little hesitant to link people to these entries, because I'm not overly confident in my Japanese, and I'm worried that people might take my translations as fact rather than acknowledging that I may have missed some nuances/accidentally mistranslated something. I also wasn't really intending to necessarily do the whole book, though I wouldn't mind taking requests as long as people were aware that my translations aren't perfect. And I'm also not very good at scanning things, and I'm not sure the captions really make sense without the accompanying pictures...

[qem_chibati]

I just wanted to second my gratitude and I think there are a lot of people that would appreciate the translation even if it is a little rough. (I was wishing the day before you started posting this, that there were translations available along with another person.)


Additionally, a lot of scans tend to come out a bit wonky - I could maybe do some cleaning of the pictures if you wanted. (Although I'm probably going to be slow due to other commitments.)

If that's the case, I'm happy to provide ^^ (...slowly)

Hikago Characters -- Le Ping

[phnx]

The Chinese Mini Waya –- Le Ping
(Go Character 119)

The Naughty boy whose igo soul is lit with fire.

The Height of Impertinent Playfulness
In the metropolis of Peking, Le Ping is a boy who dreams more of playing than studying go. Although his teacher and Yang Hai constantly scold him, his true strength as a pro is genuine.

Go Character Profile

A member of the Chinese Go Association/His home province is Yunnan/He’s the only child in his family/He plays many go games with Isumi/He’s best friends with Zhao Shi.

“I look sweet, don’t I?”

A Peerless Sicko.
Even though Le Ping was more interested in playing around than in whether he wins or loses at go, his rematch against Isumi changes him. He wants to win by any means, so he recklessly snaps at Isumi!

[Picture Captions:]

After Isumi’s overwhelming victory, Le Ping’s attitude completely changed.

As soon as Zhao Shi returned from the tournament, Le Ping tried to nag Zhao Shi into playing [games, messing around… not go] with him and was rebellious against Yang Hai. His parents are also worried that Le Ping is overwhelmed by the glamour of the big city.

Unlike their [Isumi and Le Ping’s] first battle, this wasn’t an easy victory; Isumi grew by playing games with Yang Hai, so it was a close match.

Le Ping was frustrated in his loss to Isumi, who he thought was a weak player. Without losing his disliked personality, he clings to studying, studying! No matter how many times, he plays go, plays go.

[Kifu Caption:]

(An informal match between Japan and China)
Players' Names ~ Le Ping vs. Isumi Shinichirou

This is the second match. Isumi attacks white’s lower-righthand weakness with one Shikekoshi. Le Ping’s defence is weak, and he doesn't pursue an attack via attaching during yose.
