Lance

Shogi
This piece is the kyōsha, or lance. He charges into battle, not knowing if he'll come out alive. The lance is known for bravery, but some consider him reckless. He can move as far as he wants forward. At the last square, he must become a gold general, for that is the only way he can move.

Chu Shogi
This piece now promotes to the White Horse instead of the Gold General.
