== Japanese Chess names ==
There must be an error. The Japanese names are exactly as the English names, just written in Katakana. In other words, they are just a transcription of English words using their own symbols. It would be sad that the Japanese nouns are in the process of becoming nothing but English written using their own characters.
:Why should it be otherwise? The Western chess pieces are not native to Japan. The Western king, rook, and bishop do exist in [[shogi]], but naturally have different names. The Western queen and knight also appear in some native Japanese [[shogi variant]]s, but again have different names. The Western pawn does not appear in any Japanese shogi variant.
