The 22 Most Famous Shogi Defense Formations You Should Know.
In shogi, defensive formations, or “kakoi(囲い)” in Japanese, are carefully built move by move, adapting to your opponent’s strategy. Unlike chess castling, which is a single move, shogi castles involve constructing a solid defense over time, making it a critical part of the game’s strategy.

The opening theory in shogi is divided into two main strategies: Static Rook (Ibisha), where the rook stays in its initial position, and Ranging Rook (Furibisha), where the rook moves to the left side early.
