Nakajima Ki-116

The Nakajima Ki-116 was the last variant of the Nakajima Ki-84 Army Type 4 fighter to reach the prototype stage. It differed from the Ki-84 in the chose of engine, using a 1,500hp Mitsubishi [Ha-33] 62 (Ha-112-11) engine.

A single prototype was produced, and was undergoing tests at the end of the war.
