Carded hussars* (spain, france, brits, etc.) They cost more than a hussar and either lose to or barely beat them unless the cavalry gets really bunched up. Generally the purpose of anticav is that it is very cheap compared to the expensive cavalry they counter. Dopps are an exception but they ABSOLUTELY destroy cavalry in melee, where samurai have a very small multiplier... In general naginata and yumi and ashigaru are far superior units for japan. Colonial ashi arent great vs cav either but at least they are far cheaper and can attack from range
