Diag.: Keima

A keima is often referred to as a 'knights move', as the pattern is the same as the way the chess piece moves. This is the same as in Japanese where the term 'keima' comes from the knight-equivalent piece in shogi. Sometimes the term kogeima (or small knight's move) is used, in order to distinguish it from the ogeima (large knight's move).


The keima is often used by the attacking player in a fight. It is often regarded too weak for defense (an ikken tobi being better), but effective in diminishing the running space of a group which is under attack.
