English Summary
**A female shogi player who aimed to become an economist and became a professional shogi player**
Before becoming a female professional, Yayoi Watanabe was born in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, and went to the University of Tokyo to become an economist. Although he majored in mathematical economics, he learned to play shogi at a time when he felt that his talent for mathematics and statistics had reached its limits, and he joined the university's shogi club to hone his skills. After that, she dropped out of the 1st class of science at the University of Tokyo, joined a women's training group, and was promoted to the 2nd class (became a professional) under a system with age restrictions.
**Typical chess style is "all-round player"**
Yayoi Watanabe can play both the free rook and the full rook, and her style of playing is characterized by a sense of competition. He also calls himself ``a rook party that can only win by swinging rooks.''
**Q: What did you do? **
I didn't have any goals as an economist, but I did become a professional shogi player and a female shogi player.
**Q: What are your famous works? **
As a shogi writer, I write columns about my success as a female shogi player and the relationship between mathematical economics and shogi.
