Norimoto Yoda (依田 紀基, Yoda Norimoto, born February 11, 1966 in Iwamizawa, Japan) is a professional Go player.
He has won 35 titles so far in his career, the seventh highest in Japan.
The climactic go game played between the fictional players Fujiwara-no-Sai and Toya Meijin in the anime and manga series Hikaru no Go was in fact a real 1997 game[2] between Norimoto Yoda and Rin Kaiho.
