There’s some random trivia on his Kansai Kiin profile:

https://kansaikiin.jp/kisi_prof/meyerfrancis.html

Such as his hobbies being music, movies and going to the ocean, he loves eating, hates snakes, can do karaoke well, etc.

I suppose kbag is a new account here, for Calvin Sun. And Sun here is the family name, right. I put it in the table.

He seems to have been inactive as a Go player since 2014: Francis Meyer
His last game on record in Go4Go was also in 2014.

Sounds strange, a break of 6 years already. Not usual to have a pro finding something more interesting as go. (Well I hope this as I hope that nothing wrong happened to him)

Well, he seems to be have been doing online game reviews quite recently, so probably no need to worry.

I already made a note about this somewhere but to put it here.

shiho hoshiai is very likely an account of Hoshiai Shiho 3p. You can see the relevant videos here: https://youtu.be/NtAPce5mz-Q and https://youtu.be/MLi6JonqhQE

And lowkey RinaFujisawa is the real account of Fujisawa Rina 5p then. Or at least an account she played from in that one event. Maybe it’s throwaway one-time account.

Ryan Li (Crazywind) is 3p now and Eric Lui (AlphaReader) is 2p.

What’s Goyanen?

My guess would be that it’s Kansai dialect for “It’s Go”. In standard (Tokyo) Japanese it would be go da yo.

It’s like a group of Kansai Kiin pros and amateurs who do go things together: https://goyanen.amebaownd.com
