Asahi Shimbun Rensai Katou Hifumi Kudan Shogi Shingiryuu is a 1995 shogi game for the Super Famicom. The game features two endorsements: The first is from the Japanese national newspaper Asahi Shimbun, which helped produce the game as part of their multimedia "rensai" or "series", and the second is from professional shogi champion Hifumi Kato (or Katou), who also lent his name to the 1997 SNES shogi game Katou Hifumi Kudan Shogi Club. The game purports to teach players the titular technique that helped Hifumi reached 9th Dan, the highest normal rank in competitive shogi (10th Dan is reserved for special cases).
As well as tutorials, the game has a number of CPU opponents that the player can pit their skills against as well as a mode where the player can set up a shogi board with a customized configuration of pieces for testing techniques.
