YOSHIDA opened his Bishop's line by P-3d and closed immediately by P-4d . It seemed that YOSHIDA select "Furibisha" , then NAKAMURA start castling his King perhaps to "Funa gakoi".

YOSHIDA didn't select common "Furibisha" , he moved 5...S-6b . This move sometimes leads the opening to "Migi Gyoku", "Gangi" or "Sode Bisha" .
