PS - Professional Go players sometimes change their names at various points in their careers.  For example, Kuwahara Torajiro changed his name to Shusaku in 1841 when, aged 12, he was promoted to 2 Dan (pro).

One of Shusaku's contemporaries changed his name *seven* times.  Originally Todani Umetaro, at various times he was known as Dowa, Kadono Tadazaemon, Mizutani Junsaku, Ioue Shutetsu, Inoue Inseki XII, and Setsuzan.

(From "Invincible: The Games of Shusaku" by John Power.  There's a copy in the Go Center library.)
