Shogi kakugyo

The bishop.

Shogi
[]

The kakugyo, or bishop, meaning angle mover, can move as many spaces as you want in any diagonal direction, just like a bishop in chess. Unfortunately, it can still only reach half of the spaces on the board. It is still quite mighty, though. It promotes to Dragon Horse.

Chu Shogi[]

This piece now can promote from the Ferocious Leopard. It otherwise remains unchanged.
