I'm not sure about the linguistic aspects, but I suspect 'Ko Norin' might refer to Kyo Kagen/Hsu Chiayuan, the 18 year old Japanese professional who is playing very well right now. He was runner up in the 2014 and 2016 Globis cups.

Also, Mr. Kin's site shows Kobayashi Koichi as a seeded player for Japan (http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/wr/bl.html). I wonder which is correct?

I expect 'Ko Norin' is Kono Rin.

Sorry, Kono Rin is correct.

Looks like that would be Kono Rin. Kobayashi Koichi entered as wild card.

According to cyberoro article, "한편 본선시드는 16장으로 한국은 강동윤, 박정환, 나현 3명, 중국은 커제, 추쥔, 스웨, 천야오예, 구리, 롄샤오, 장웨이제 7명이 받았다. 시드를 받지 못한 이세돌은 이번 알파고와 대전으로 일정이 겹쳐 통합예선에 나가지 못했다.

일본과 대만기사는 한 명도 통합예선을 통과하지 못했다. 일본은 고노린, 유키사토시, 데라야마 레이 3명, 대만은 천스위안 1명이 본선시드를 받았다. 와일드카드 2장은 일본의 원로기사 고바야시 고이치와 중국 신예 구즈하오가 가졌다.", Kono Rin, Yuki Satoshi, Terayama Lei is seeded players for Japan. We will see correct players when main tournament starts.

6/30 - round of 32
7/2 - round of 16

All 32 round 1 games online here: http://www.go4go.net/go/games/tournament/144

Korea doing well overall in round 1 scoring 9-3 against China.
Japan wiped out as usual.
Now 14 Korean and 18 Chinese left.
China's Tang Yi (female player) upset Korea's Ahn Kukhyun.
Ke Jie had to fight really hard to win his game (by 0.5 point although resigned)
In round 2, there will be Park Junghwan vs Tang Weixing clash, a rehearsal of Ing Cup final.

Painful, especially given that the pairings were not bad at all. Only Yuki had a really overwhelming opponent.

overwhelming aka a 17 year old Chinese 2d who has never won a major tournament*

*though he did win the Globis cup this year and is #15 on goratings.org to Yuki's #113.

2-3 against Gu Li, 2-3 against Tuo Jiaxi, 2-1 against Tan Xiao, 2-2 against Mi Yuting. Back in 2012, he beat Park Yeonghun then Park Junghwan in a row. Age back then? 13. He's alright

Li is one of my favourite players. He won 2014 CCTV cup and GLOBIS Cup and has advanced to the final of 2016 CCTV cup. He achieved a 7-game winning streak against Ke Jie this year on foxgo server.
Btw his nickname is "the strongest 1p ever".

Reminds me of something.
