Knight is used in Ko shogi, here it's name is kōkyūki, Longbow cavalryman. But in Ko shogi, pieces, wich was in other shogi variants, have different names.
Knight also was used in modern variant, suggested by western chess player - Okisaki shogi. Here it's chōma (don't know translate), but queen here is okisaki, princess.
