Before properly being called a pro gamer[7] from signing a sponsorship deal with Mad Catz,[8] Japanese media usually referred to Daigo as "the god of 2D fighting games" (2D格闘ゲームの神, 2D Kakutō Gēmu no Kami).[9][10][11][12][13][14]
Early career
editDaigo began going to an arcade game center and playing fighting games as an elementary school student around 10 years of age.[7][15] Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury: King of Fighters had recently been released and were Daigo's first two fighting games.[7] Street Fighter II often had a very long line with older players, so he began learning Fatal Fury first.[7] After some time and due to the limited time he could stay at the game center, Daigo started challenging other players in Street Fighter II' (Champion Edition) for an opportunity to play even though he felt shy and had to ask for permission. This was when he discovered that he preferred competing with other players.[7]
Around the time when he was a 13-year-old middle school student,[7] Daigo shifted his main game to Vampire Hunter because he thought he was more skilled in that game than in Street Fighter II.[7] He developed a reputation in Vampire Hunter by setting a 286-win streak record[16] in a single outing before he was forced to leave due to Akihabara Sega (now Club Sega[17]) game center closing for the day.[7][18][19] Umehara enrolled in his first tournament when he entered GAMEST Cup's national Vampire Hunter tournament in 1995,[20] losing in the block's finals.[21] His first tournament victory came at his second tournament, GAMEST Cup's national Vampire Savior tournament in 1997, where he defeated Ōnuki (now Nuki) in the finals.[21][22][23]
In 1998, at the age of 17 Daigo participated in Capcom's official Street Fighter Zero 3 national tournament and advanced to the finals which took place on a stage in Tokyo Game Show 1998: Autumn on October 11.[24] After winning the tournament by defeating Ōnuki 3–1, Daigo, as the champion, went on to face Alex Valle, the winner of the U.S. national Street Fighter Alpha 3 tournament. The international "Grand Championship" was held in San Francisco, California on November 8. This was Daigo's first trip to the U.S. and his first overseas tournament appearance.[25] The match was best of three games, with five-round games. Daigo came from behind to win 2–1.[26][27] Both events aired as a 50-minute TV report in Japan.[28]
In September 2001, Daigo's popularity led to the publishing of a mini-autobiography called VERSUS (known as "Umehon" (ウメ本) or "Ume Book" by fans). The book's content is separated into six chapters chronicling the games in which he competes and includes background stories, anecdotes of competitions, and analysis of his opponents.[18]
In November 2000, 4 months after the B4 Street fighter championships, the top Ranked players from the event Flew out to Shinagawa, Tokyo Japan to play in an exhibition. American players competed in four games (Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and Marvel vs. Capcom 2) for the right to battle Japan's best players in those respective games. Umehara only entered the 3rd Strike exhibition, but defeated all of his opponents, ending each round with Ken's fierce Shoryuken. These events were filmed for the documentary Bang the Machine.[29][30]
In 2003, Daigo won the Super Street Fighter II Turbo tournament in the first Super Battle Opera (Tougeki) and won the same game in Evolution Championship Series when he joined the event for the first time in the same year, making him the first player to win both the SBO and Evolution in the same year on the same game. Umehara also went to Evolution 2004 and Absolution 2004[31] on April 18 in England and won on SSFII Turbo there.[21][32]
Daigo has participated regularly in a number of tournaments, appearing in at least one each year since his start in 1997, with a brief hiatus in 2008.[21][33]
Play style
editThroughout his career, Daigo Umehara's main character has been Ryu and his play style based on zoning (keeping the opponent at a specific distance) even though he is also adept in close combat. Since Street Fighter V's balance patch[34][35] in December 2016 that nerfed Ryu to balance the game, Daigo switched to Guile, a charge character. Daigo said, "I don't care if I play a top tier character. I don't need to pick a top tier character, but I want to have a character that can fight the top tiers. It's boring if you go to tournament and you know you're going to run into a really bad match up, it's like 'Oh, I can't win because of the match up'".[36] Hesitating between Urien and Guile, he finally chose the latter, but decided to try Ryu one more time in Topanga League 6 and Final Round 20. His disappointing results (he finished respectively last and 33rd) made him give up on Ryu.[37] Since then, he has continued to play with Guile in spite of a new balance patch that partially restored Ryu in 2017.[38][39]
Evolution 2004
editDespite having never matched off against him before, Umehara was known for having a supposed rivalry with the American Justin Wong due to their differences in gaming philosophies. The two players met each other in the loser's finals of Evo 2004's Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike tournament. Umehara, playing using the character Ken, was down to his last pixel of vitality and any special attack by Wong's Chun-Li, even if guarded, could knock Ken out. Wong attempted to hit his opponent with Chun-Li's "Super Art" move, forcing Umehara to parry 15 attacks in a very short period of time. Umehara did so successfully and went on to counter a final kick of Chun-Li in mid-air before launching a combo move himself and winning the match. Though Umehara lost the grand finals to Kenji Obata, the clip of him parrying Wong's multihit attack became hugely influential and has been compared to famous sports moments such as Babe Ruth's called shot and the Miracle on Ice.[40][41] It was at one point the most-watched competitive gaming clip of all time.[42]
Street Fighter IV era
editIn July 2008, Umehara came out of retirement[43] and became competitive once again. This time, his focus was on the newly released Street Fighter IV. Because of this, Japanese arcade gaming magazine Arcadia has included a DVD featuring "Umehara Concept Matches" in its January 2009 issue (released on November 29, 2008) and "The God has returned" was stated in Umehara's player introduction part. The DVD contains exhibition matches between him and Japan's 6 top players such as Inoue, Itabashi Zangief, Fuudo, Nemo, and Mago.[44]
2009
editOn March 5, Umehara made an appearance as the "god of the fighting games world" on the TV show "Gamer's Koshien". He and four other top Japanese players (Soushihan KSK, Itabashi Zangief, Mago, and Tokido) competed with each other and with celebrities in a Street Fighter IV round-robin tournament.[10][45]
On April 18, at GameStop's Street Fighter IV National Tournament 2009 in San Francisco, California, four players from three countries held exhibition matches following the main competition. Umehara, who came by Capcom's invitation, defeated players Iyo, Poongko and Justin Wong to win the tournament. For the win, he was awarded a free trip to Evolution 2009 in Las Vegas.[46][47]
Umehara began writing a column in Arcadia called Umehara Column: Michi, starting with the August issue.[48] ("Umehara Column: Street")
Thanks to his win at the GameStop tournament, Umehara entered the Evolution 2009 Street Fighter IV competition as a seeded player in the semi-finals on July 18, which was the second day of the event. In the third and final day, Umehara defeated Justin Wong and placed him in the Losers Bracket, then advanced to the grand finals only to meet Wong again. The two fought until the last game possible, but Umehara ultimately won the competition.[49][50][51]
The September issue[52] of Arcadia magazine included a DVD featuring a set of "Umehara's Concept Matches." This was a follow-up to a previous DVD which released in late 2008.[53][54][55]
On August 7, Umehara participated in an all night tournament called "GODSGARDEN."[56][57]
Umehara participated in exhibition matches in a Street Fighter IV competition in Taiwan on October 10.[58] The matches were broadcast live on Famitsu's web channel.[59]
Umehara returned to the United States to join a tournament called Season's Beatings, held October 16–18 in Columbus, Ohio.[60][61] He won Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Street Fighter IV Singles competition.[62][63]
In a November interview with Simon Parkin, a 28 year old Daigo stated that he felt he was, currently, at his peak as a gamer. He went on to clarify his claim: "My reactions are probably comparable to when I was younger, but I no longer grow agitated when I'm cornered. Nothing can mentally break me anymore; I have mastered nervousness and tension. I can instantly tell opponents apart and categorize them into groups and types according to their personality and weaknesses. As I haven't felt my physical abilities weakening yet, I think I might be at the peak of my career as a fighting gamer."[64]
On November 26, Umehara and five other top Japanese Street Fighter IV players joined a Nico Nico live internet show[65] to talk about the second GODSGARDEN tournament. The show also featured an exhibition match between Umehara and Mago.[66]
2010
editInstead of participating in GODSGARDEN #2 (March 6),[67] Umehara flew to France to enter Street Fighter IV tournaments in the World Game Cup[68] gaming event, which took place March 3–7. He placed second in singles and first in 2-on-2.[69][70]
On April 4, Umehara and two teammates participated in an official Street Fighter IV National Tournament[71] and qualified for the top 14. His team was eliminated, in the quarter finals.[72]
Umehara participated in Capcom's Super Street Fighter IV "Fight Club" launch party in Los Angeles, United States on April 23.[73] Umehara held exhibition matches in which he played various characters including Hakan, Guy, and Dee Jay against a dozen challengers. The event closed with a 3-out-of-5 match[74][75] between Umehara and Justin Wong, ending in a double-K.O. draw which left Umehara undefeated all night. It was also revealed at the event that Umehara had accepted a sponsorship deal with Mad Catz and would play under their name in future tournaments. [76][77][78][79][80]
The limited edition of Super Street Fighter IV from the e-CAPCOM store included a special DVD featuring two tournaments between Japan's 8 top players: Umehara, Tokido, Iyo, Shirou, Kin Devu, Momochi, Tokidoki Nukings, and Itabashi Zangief.[81][82] The Super Street Fighter IV Technical Guide published by Enterbrain which was released on April 28 includes a DVD featuring exhibition matches of the new characters played by Japan's 7 top players: Umehara, Tokido, Kin Devu, Iyo, Momochi, Itabashi Zangief, and Shirou.[83][84]

He won the tournament, losing just one game.[88] As the grand prize, he earned a paid flight to Evolution 2010 in Las Vegas where he would start off as a seeded player.[89][90][91][92][93][94][95]
On June 4, Umehara joined the 106th Xbox Live Park online event held by Microsoft Japan with Famitsu's editorial department. During the two-hour event, participating Xbox Live Gold members had the opportunity to chat and face off with Umehara in Super Street Fighter IV online matches.[96]
After getting 2nd place in Nagoya Street Battle 15 (July 4),[97] Umehara joined Evolution 2010 on July 9–11 and faced a tougher challenge than before with over 1,700 players[98] from around the world participating in the Super Street Fighter IV tournament. Nevertheless, Umehara secured a win without ever dropping into the Losers bracket. The live stream of the event set a new record with an approximate 48,000 viewers at its peak across its two channels (Stickam 18,000 and Ustream 30,000).[99][100][101][102][103]
After winning the qualifier on May 22,[104] Umehara's team participated in the Super Battle Opera 2010 Street Fighter IV finals on September 19 and won second place. The event took place as a part of Tokyo Game Show 2010 at Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex.[105]

It was selected by Capcom as one of the «Most Hype Moments» of 2015 in a retrospective video.[123] « You could hear the crowd go wild and if you were watching the stream you could see the stream chat go crazy[124] » wrote Capcom in an article,[125] while a French spectator who was in the crowd said that « Daigo's incredible 25-hit combo with Evil Ryu stunned the crowd and the opponent ».[126] Daigo finally won the tournament beating Momochi, 3–1.
Umehara penned a foreword for the September issue of Japan's Harvard Business Review, with the title "得意なことより好きなことを追求する" ("Tokui na koto yori suki na koto wo tsuikyuu suru"|"Pursue that which you like rather than that at which you excel").
In December 2015, Umehara announced his intentions to donate the entirety of his winnings from the Capcom Pro Tour 2015 Finals, a sum of $60,000, to the Evo Scholarship, a New York University scholarship program which offers financial assistance to students wishing to study game design at the NYU Game Center at the Tisch School of the Arts.[127] The NYU Game Center confirmed the $60,000 donation on January 6, 2016.[128]
Street Fighter V era
edit2016

In February 2016, Daigo was narrowly defeated by American rapper and music producer Lupe Fiasco in a Street Fighter V exhibition match.[129] The event, organized by former Mad Catz executive Mark Julio, was live streamed to over 75,000 viewers. Several observers noted that Daigo's timing appeared to be off, and that he did not capitalize on key strategic openings during the match.[129] On April 26, 2016, Daigo held a talk in conjunction with Mizuho bank and medical professor Yoshiki Ishikawa in Osaka, Japan.[130]
In May, 2016, Daigo appeared in the Street Fighter documentary, "格闘ゲームに生きる" (Kakuto geemu ni ikiru | Living the Game), broadcast on WOWOW. Later that month, the documentary was screened at the Hot Docs Film Festival in Toronto, Canada under the name "Living the Game."[131]
On June 1, 2016, Japanese publisher Shogakukan released the book "悩みどころと逃げどころ[132]" (Nayamidokoro to Nigedokoro), a written discussion between Umehara and the popular Japanese blogger Chikirin.
In July 2016, an official English translation of Umehara's first book, The Will to Keep Winning, was sold to Evo attendees as an event exclusive.[133] The book continued to be sold exclusively at fighting game events across the globe throughout the remainder of 2016.
On September 14, 2016, Umehara announced[134] that he had achieved two new World Records recognized by Guinness World Records: "Most views for a competitive fighting game match"[135] (for his famous match against Justin Wong from Evo 2004) and "Highest all-time rank in Ultra Street Fighter IV."[136] Umehara received official recognition for the records via a ceremony held at Tokyo Game Show.

On December 1, 2016, Red Bull and director Nick McDonald released an eleven-minute documentary on Daigo Umehara entitled, "Mind of a Beast."

2017
editOn January 19, 2017, Daigo gave a two-hour lecture entitled "1日ひとつだけ、強くなる" ("Ichinichi hitotsu dake, tsuyoku naru"|"Getting Stronger Everyday") at the Keio University Marunouchi City Campus.[139] In the lecture, Daigo discussed the ups and downs of carving out a niche as a professional gamer. He spoke to a sold-out audience.[140]
On March 1, 2017, Umehara announced that he had entered another sponsorship with Japanese game developer Cygames, alongside fellow pro fighting gamers Darryl "Snake Eyez" Lewis and Eduardo "PR Balrog" Perez.[141] Together, the three athletes donned the moniker "Cygames Beast," sporting T-shirts with a matching new logo.[142] From March to May 2017, Umehara participated in the ELEAGUE Street Fighter Invitational, during which he played solely as Guile. Beginning in Group B alongside Snake Eyez and PR Balrog, Umehara pushed his way into the Playoffs, ultimately finishing 8th overall.

On July 14, Daigo launched the "Beast" apparel brand in conjunction with apparel makers Nsurgo.[147] The brand is represented by Daigo as well as fellow Cygames-sponsored gamers Snake Eyez and PR Balrog.[148]
2018
editA memorable match took place early in the year when Daigo met his longtime rival, Tokido, in a first-to-ten bout at the Kemonomichi II exhibition. Tokido, who at this point was the defending EVO champion and one of the most dominant players on the scene, was determined to prove that he could outplay Daigo in a long-set format. Although Daigo had been less active by comparison and more focused on hosting events, he was also confident about his chances. On March 10, the pair clashed in their highly anticipated matchup. Daigo ended up winning the competitive set 10–5, leaving Tokido visibly upset at his loss.[149][150]
On July 22, he won the VSFighting Premier Event in Birmingham (United Kingdom).[151]
Later on during the year in November, Daigo attended the Red Bull Kumite invitational tournament once again, this time placing 3rd behind Problem X and champion Fujimura.[152]
In the Capcom Cup tournament for the year, Daigo finished in 25th place.[153]
2019
editUmehara started out his competitive year in 2019 with a disappointing finish in 33rd place at Final Round.[154] Later that same month, he had more success at the NorCal Regionals, where he made the top 8.[155]
At the next major tournament Daigo attended, The Mixup, he managed to battle his way through to the Grand Finals where he faced off against Victor Woodley aka Punk, who was dominating the Capcom Pro Tour. In a hard-fought match that came down to the final round, Punk narrowly defeated his opponent. Nevertheless, Daigo's performance in the year was good enough to place him at 4th overall in the CPT rankings.[156]
Following this, Daigo continued his success with a 5th/6th place finish in the CPT Premier tournament at Community Efforts Orlando 2019, where he was eliminated by Fujimura.[157]
On October 27, Daigo placed 7th/8th in the CPT Premier tournament at First Attack 2019, where he was eliminated by Jonathan "JB" Bautista.[158]
Despite not winning any major tournaments, Daigo's consistent appearance at international CPT events throughout the year was enough to earn him a qualification spot at the 2019 Capcom Cup finals. There, Daigo was eliminated by Tokido with a score of 3–2 in the second round of the tournament, leaving him with a tied 17th–24th place finish to end the 2019 competitive Street Fighter V season.[159]
Daigo participated in another Red Bull Kumite in December, which was being held in Nagoya, Japan. With a tough tournament pool featuring Tokido, Problem X, Punk, and numerous other strong players, Daigo only managed a 13th place finish, tied with Bonchan, Gachikun, and Haku.[160]

Daigo became the most feared player among the Capcom competitive circles when he defeated Alex Valle during an official Street Fighter Alpha 3 world championship in 1998 (creating a legion of copycat V-Akuma players overnight with his infamous Demon Flip Vism combo). Since then, his fierce reputation has not diminished, as he consistently places in the top three in the majority of the 2D games he enters. If you want to be considered the best in the world, you have to be able to defeat this guy consistently (sorry...lucky flukes don't count).
