Notes
The Kawasaki Ki-100 (キ100) is a single-seat single-engine monoplane fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service during World War II. The Japanese Army designation was “Type 5 Fighter” (五式戦闘機, Go-shiki sentouki, or abbreviated as Goshikisen). It was not assigned an Allied code name.
The Ki-100 entered combat in March 1945. It was developed from the Ki-61 but with a new, much more reliable Mitsubishi Ha-112-II radial engine.
Ki-100-I-Otsu: improved canopy and cut down rear fuselage. 118 built.
