Hien was the only Japanese military fighter aircraft equipped with a liquid-cooled engine during the Pacific War. It was officially adopted as a Type 3 fighter in 1943, and its armament was strengthened several times in order to compete with highly bulletproof US military aircraft. Among them, the I-type, which was equipped with two 20mm cannons in the fuselage and two 12.7mm cannons in the wings, was manufactured from January 1944 to January 1945, with approximately 1,360 machines being manufactured, the largest number in the series. Taking advantage of its excellent high-altitude performance and heavy armament, it played an active role in intercepting B-29s in mainland air defense battles.
