Sleeve Rook (袖飛車 Sodebisha) is an opening in shogi in which the rook is moved to the third file from the right from the perspective of the player.
It is generally known as part of Static Rook opening category but can be used in Swinging Rook as well.
The inventor of this strategy is said to be Sankichi Sakata (坂田三吉)[1].
One example of Sakata's game can be a match played on 13 April 1913, Sankichi Sakata vs Kinjiro Sekine (関根金次郎)[2].
Name Origin
The name comes from the fact that the rook moves to one square to the left from the main position - like a sleeve is next to an arm.
