Early life

Miyamoto was born in Kamitonda, Wakayama on January 27, 1986.[1] He learned how to play shogi from his father when he was a first-grade elementary school student, and eventually entered the Japan Shogi Association's apprentice school at the rank of 6-kyū under the guidance of shogi professional Masayuki Moriyasu in 1999.[2][3]

Miyamoto was promoted to the rank of 1-dan in 2003 and then 3-dan in 2005. He entered the 37th 3-dan League (April 2005 – September 2005), but his progress slowed and he was unable to secure full professional status and the rank of 4-dan until he tied for first place in the 54th 3-dan League with a record of 13 wins and 5 losses.[2][3][4]
