In this episode, we spend the day with Manao Kagawa, a young shogi professional player. Shogi, that we can simply describe as Japanese chess, is a Japanese board strategy game that shares the same roots as chess. Kagawa started playing in 3rd grade and turned pro when she was still 15 years old.
As it is a traditional game, players, especially professionals, wear a kimono when playing. Our first stop with Kagawa will be at Shirataki Gofukuten, a kimono shop that traditionally provides kimonos for shogi players since more than 150 years. It also organizes a yearly shogi tournament for women, where the winner is awarded with a kimono.
We will then head towards the Sendagaya area to the Hatonomori shrine, which is a shrine dedicated to shogi. Many shogi players gather here at the start of each year for a traditional ceremony where they pray to the shogi gods.
Close to the shrine lies the Shogi Kaikan, which are the headquarters of the Japan Shogi Association and the main practice center for most shogi players, including Kagawa. As a pro, she now plays on the upper floors of the building, where each of her game results is archived and contributes to her rank.
Our last stop will be at the Jinro room in Shibuya, one of the rare spaces in Tokyo dedicated to the Werewolf game, one of Kagawa’s passions. She will tell us more about her vision about games and the importance they play in her life.

Such a crisp video. Can't thank you enough for doing what you guys do!
PS. That 3-gatsu poster at the Shogi Association was a nice addition~
Rumor has it that if your charm is high enough, you can find her playing shogi at a church and if your drive for shogi is good, she'll offer to be your playing partner.
I’m a simple man, I see a p5 reference I like
Lol I'm a simple girl, i see a P5 ref, i like ^^
😢@@jahanshadi1934
She was a pretty good confidant on Persona 5. Good abilities.
I knew I wasn't the only one who just got here because of her haha
😂😂😂
She legit looks like Hifumi.
@@atomicripjack6612maybe it's not a coincidence
Yassss that 3-Gatsu no Lion poster
Wow, the quality of this channel is amazing. Every video is an insightful mini documentary.
Thank you, that's what we're aiming for.
English and French subtitles are available under the “CC” menu. Portuguese, Russian and Spanish subtitles have also been made available via Community contributions, which are also open for additional language submissions. Thank you for following toco toco!
I came here from March comes in like a lion anime

SAME
ME TOO!!! I LOOOVE IT!
we found another wonderful cahnnel!
Wonderful! Seeing this in conjunction with Sangatsu no Lion is interesting. Kagawa-san is beautiful and very smart. This puts me in a good mood.
Another great episode! This insight into Japanese culture is truly unique and interesting. Thanks for putting in all the hard work. Can't wait for next episode with Taro, he's a favourite of mine.
Thank you for your comment - stay tuned!
Thanks, learned a lot from watching this. They have tried to start some Shogi tournaments here in Canada but we literally have only a handful of players in all of Canada.
Glad I found your channel after seeing Yoko Taro. These are beautiful, so well done. Manao Kagawa seems like an amazing girl. I wish I could talk to someone who had this kind of passion in what they do... Thank you for these, I'm gong to watch all of them.
3gatsu no lion (anime) brought me here. :) I saw the banner of 3gatsu in Shogi Hall. It's great to see people playing shougi in real life. :)
NEXT EPISODE IS YOKO TARO
I'M HYPED
Wonderful video as always. Thank you guys for all the hard work you go through making these :)
Thank you for your support!
That Sangatsu poster though 5:25
Jaja cameo de Rei Kiriyama
Kodoq101 man of culture I see
Beautiful scenery shots
There were some WONDERFUL shots in this. I've been following you for a while and it's always top notch shots and editing, but this time i've seen so much improvements. Continuez comme ça ! Merci pour ce que vous faites.
Great video quality! Such a beautiful mini documentary! Thank you guys for all the content you put on this channel! Greetings from Europe!
Thank you, it is very stimulating to see our work being appreciated. Hope you enjoy what's coming next.
This channel is a delight to watch every video produced is well shot/edited, every guest is a vanguard of their craft
4:35 Wow that Sangatsu no lion location was real. And the temple, too!
This is cool. I enjoy playing shogi too.
THAT POSTER!!!!!! ahhhhh my heart!!! I wonder how many of them in that Association have actually seen it?!
I liked this episode very much. Every new video you upload looks better than the previous, you're doing a really nice job. Thx for sharing these with us.
Thanks for the kind word - glad you enjoy.
Great production quality as always, stoked for the next episode on Yoko Taro
Thank you, stay tuned!
Un simple merci qui contient toute ma reconnaissance pour votre travail
I love this! I'm teaching myself Shogi and it's wonderful to see the footage here. So happy that a talented woman like Maneo san is establishing (or established) herself in the Shogi arena. どもありがとございます！
I want to start playing this game, gonna order the board and pieces soon!
Thanks for the video! I'm alway thrilled when there's a new episode up :D
Thank you, stay tuned!
This video is very nice, as other people says, the quality of the videos is amazing so as the quality of the content. Very nice job.
Thank you for your comment!
Omg, awsome documentary and there is the subtitle in french....
The only thing I can ask is :
NEXT EPISODE!
Thanks for the amazing job!
Thank you, stay tuned!
This was one of the videos that inspired me to play shogi. It seems that all my hobbies. Martial arts, shogi and cars all reside in Japan. I might move to Japan eventually
Wait, cars? Isn't that very American instead?
Why Japan looks so peaceful😌😌😌😌
Thank you for the tour and the English Translations.... Sensi 🙇♂️✌🏾💗👊🏾
@Archipel I would love to see a documentary on the following topics: a tour of board game conventions with interviews of innovative board game and card game creators in Japan, a master artisan crafting traditional Japanese knives, the unique styles of Japanese fashion, and interviews with street photographers capturing life in Japan. These subjects would provide fascinating insights into Japanese culture and creativity! ❤️
Keep doing these videos, really interesting ;)
I am here because I was introduced to Shogi through the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series.
Found this channel through the Yoko Taro vid. What a great channel!
The Werewolf game they play in the Jinro room section seems very similar to Mafia in the west.
I know the game also as The Werewolf Game here in northern Europe.
This is filmed with such beauty
Excellent.
japan has even a room where you can play werewolf. this is so great. they have everything
Togo-chan
One of my favourite episodes yet. Really honest and insightful.
Thank you.
I will check out how to play Shogi. I've been a casual chess player for many years and this video grabbed my attention about Shogi :)!!
Thank you for your work! An awesome episode like always. I love your work and I think it is a shame that you have such small numbers of subscribers. Please keep up the good work!
Hifumi is real
Is that a reference to Change 123?
WatcherFromThePlateauofShorn141 no it was a P5 reference
Thanks for the video!
Just a heads up at 9:45 for english subtitles you put "tanking" instead of "thanking" not a big deal but thought you might want to fix it. Keep up the great work.
Fixed - thanks for the heads up!
Basically what Hifumi (from person ) aspires to be.
¡Una maravilla de episodio!, gracias :') +toco toco tv
This channel needs more subscriber IMHO
5:27 I came here because of this anime :D
The way she sets the pieces...
Excellent !
Vraiment un très joli portrait. Merci !
Merci pour ton commentaire!
excellent content!
The videos you guys upload are always interesting and fun to learn new things from? This was especially interesting since I'm watching San-gatsu no lion, or March comes in like a lion, which features a professional shogi player!
By the way, where do you guys get your background music? It's always so nice to listen to.
The song at the beginning is Lazy Summer For Two Pianos by Luke Richards.
merçi pour tout !!
Merci!
Bravo pour ces petits reportages assez intimes, toujours d'une grande finesse, ça me transporte toujours. Je suis très impatient de voir l'épisode sur Yoko Taro, ça risque d'être assez loufoque ! (ou peut-être pas ? :)
Vamo, Manao!!!
She has a UA-cam channel where she usually upload Tsume videos
She is beautiful...
You took the words straight from my mouth...Man, she is gorgeous!!!
Go outside
@@wearealreadydeadfam8214 chill neckbeard.
@@wearealreadydeadfam8214 stfu double chin guy
She had her own channel
5:25! That's slick!
I watch this because she are pretty
6:13 look how she did with her other hand.
Woah - guy wearing a mask at 5:11 make me think this was from 2020 for a second!
I like your channel a lot. Every episode brings insights in various aspects of people's lifes. This episode about Manao Kagawa I appreciate a lot. How do you get your partners for every single video?
Nice
3 gatsu no lion poster on the wall 🎉🎉🎉
For we are so afraid of defeat and run from its bitter taste. However without facing strong opposition we will never achieve our full potential. There is no success without failure in fact failure only exists once you stop learning.
I enjoyed the vid , even though I don't know what Shogi is
Hope you get a slightly better idea now!
what a doll
Ryuo works is never done brougght me here!
Obrigado pela legenda em português.
Obrigado à comunidade pela legenda em português!
*Que vídeo pacífico~ Muito tranquilo, como a Energia que Japão gosta de transmitir !*
🎌🎌🎌🎌
*Sorte para Manao Kagawa~ Futura Campeã Mundial ?!*
*TWICE, SHINEE, CafÉ~*
Gorgeous video! Is there a way to add more subtitles to it? I have made a Romanian version of them, for example.
There is such thing as brain and beauty. I'd had a very very hard time concentrating while playing with her
Sangatsu no lion brought me here
YOKO TARO HYPE
Sooooooo cute
'Makemashita' = ggwp
Haha. I suppose it is essentially.
"EZ"
Okay I'mma call Shikamaru right now..👑💯😂
5:26 - The reason I came here for.
i want to have this game . is there any shogi in philippines??
not so related but i play the Werewolf game a lot, we even hold a club and a tournament in our school, but i'm surprised that there were only 3 wolves when she introduced the game, like that's just too smooth for the villagers lol
Elegant 😍
Es hermosa
come on next we need hikaru LMAO 😂😂😂
Wow, she’s a fan of Werewolf. I bet she plays Among Us a lot.
i came from a chess anime 'dancing on the board'
so this the famous ssnow quenn
Shogi was opened to women only 40 years ago. But they have a status. Like at the professional level for what I got, you are all equal. They keep track of every game you play and all. While in chess, women have always been allowed to play but there's always distinctions between male and female players. For example there's a women grand master title that doesn't require as much as what it takes to become a male grand master. So basically saying women are not smart enough to be GMs but let's give them something. So the WGM was born which requires way less elo.
In a way respect for Japan. For being traditional and allowing women to not be put down by a title. And remember shogi is way harder than chess. So those are real geniuses. You even have to go be careful cause your own pieces that were taken by your opponent can be used against you. Don't get me wrong. Chess also takes your whole life of studying to even achieve national master. Which is the lowest of the titles. But imagine you blunder your queen. And suddenly it's used against you.
Unfortunately Japan is so tradition based. And want to keep their culture for themselves only that shogi is basically a Japan exclusive. And yes I know none Japanese people know how to play but compared to chess that didn't mind leaving Europe. It's nothing. Tournaments in chess are well paid. 200k for winning the us open. And even I heard that GMs have a salary.
Anyway I hope it goes global one day. Also Go should be global. It's pretty cool. And I have no idea how to play.
非常漂亮
i want to try shogi but i dont understand the characters lol
is shogi and GO similar to chess or is it very different , which one do you think is the most fun and have the least game of chance ?
I knew I would find the persona fans here 😭
Will u can make too about Go?
If we run into a Go professional player someday maybe...?
@@ArchipelDocumentaries I hope it will be so soon.
@4:53 Did that shogi set cost 720k??????? Thats 7k USD.
No offense but, you guys have one of the best channels on UA-cam.
(I meant no offense to the other channels that cannot compete with this level of quality videos)
None taken!
I came from komi san
