Machi Kugui is one of the most enigmatic figures in the competitive shogi world, hailing from the historic city of Kyoto. As the reigning holder of the prestigious 'Yamashiro Sakura' title, she commands respect on the board, while her alter ego 'Kugui' keeps the shogi media world buzzing. Beneath her poised and intellectual exterior lies a mischievous streak — she delights in teasing the Ryuo, Yaichi Kuzuryu, with razor-sharp wit. Her signature 'Anaguma' fortress defense is virtually impenetrable, allowing her to dismantle opponents' hopes with a smile, earning her the fearsome moniker 'Machi the Slaughterer' among shogi circles.
