In 1933 the Japanese Imperial Navy had designed a standard intermediate trainer type 93, to be manufactured by several major aircraft manufacturers in Japan. The Army had at about the same time contracted a very similar trainer, Type 95, for their purpose. The Japanese Imperial Navy version was basically a landplane but one version, 5KY2, was equipped with two floats and used for seaplane bases.

The powerplant is a Hitachi Amakaze11, 300 hp 9 cylinder aircooled radial. Over the years 5589 units were built of both types by various manufacturers. There is but one survivor, on display in the Museum Abri Satriamandala, Djakarta. 

A non flying replica has been recently built by Kenji Majima in Nara, for museum display. Pictures in the manual show parts of this aircraft during construction.


Available, ARF and RNF The airplane is packed in a strong 3-ply, custom made carton. The individual parts are packed in sealed plastic bags and then wrapped in bubble plastic to ensure safe transport.
