Not according to the Wikipedia article on Taiyoku Shogi, which is what I'm going by.
The name is Taikyoku Shogi. And in Taikyoku Shogi everything moves different from usual. You should not take it as a standard. Shogi pieces with the same name typically have the same move in all Shogi variants they appear in, except in Taikyoku Shogi, where they then have a move that makes little sense. The Taikyoku moves are highly suspect anyway; the only thing for which there is historic evidence is the inital setup. The moves are claimed by someone who doesn't want to reveal his source, and happens to be the same person that tried to fool people with a fake 'Cambodian Chess' on 9x9, for which he was found out.
A game for which historic rule descriptions are found is Maka Dai Dai Shogi, en there the two chariots step backward,
