He will do PR activity for NEC such as having a folded fan with the logo of NEC during play or so. It is the first case that an individual professional player belongs to a private company. Segawa 4dan has his blog named "Segawa Shoji no Sharara Nikki"(Shoji Segawa's Sharara Diary) at=20 http://segawa-challenge.at.webry.info/ (in Japanese) He hinted that the news would be unveiled in his entry in the midnight of April 14. But he has not made a comment in details on the contract yet ther= e. I tried to find if NEC unveiled a press release on this matter, but in vain at the moment. Segawa's performance since he became a professional player last November is not so swinging with 2 victories and 4 defeats up to March 29. Before becoming a pro, he used to be an employee for a NEC's group company.
