In the world of shogi, Sota Fujii-kisei has been on a roll, and as a shogi fan I too am just so happy! 👍👍😃 This KageNin Shogi is a kind of game that uses Ninja pieces to search and strike at the Osho piece posing undercover among Kagemusha pieces; however, it is still undergoing maintenance. 💦😳😳
Kage Nin Syo-gi [Kagemusha Ninja Shogi]
Pieces with rounded black helmets: Kage [影 Shadow, short for “Kagemusha”]
One of the black helmet pieces: Osho [王将 King General], 2nd image: DOKI DOKI
Pieces with rounded grey helmets: Nin [忍 Secret, short for “Ninja”]
Kagemusha [影武者] = A body double who poses undercover as a political figure. Literally means “shadow warrior”.
Osho [王将] = The king piece in the game of shogi. In shogi the ultimate goal is to capture this piece. Literally means “king general”.
Ninja [忍者] = A secret agent or mercenary in feudal Japan with a unique code of espionage methods and fighting techniques. Literally means “secret person”.
Shogi is a Japanese board game similar to chess known as the “Game of Generals”. Two players move various game pieces with different abilities across a board to ultimately capture the Osho king general piece. Sota Fujii is a famous professional shogi player who is the winner of the Kisei Championship in Japanese shogi, and thus is the current holder of the “Kisei” title.)
