Japanese military aircraft designation systems
Encyclopedia
The Japanese military aircraft designation systems for the Imperial period (pre-1945) are rather difficult to keep track of, primarily because multiple designation systems were in use by each armed service. This is what led to the Allies' use of code names during World War II
, and these code names are still better known in English-language texts than the real Japanese names for the aircraft. The confusion is not so much that any of the designation schemes are difficult, but that a number of different schemes were simultaneously in use.
in use between the late 1920s and 1945, a system of popular names introduced to replace type numbers from 1943 through 1945, and finally an SADP (Service Airplane Designation System) number used from 1939 onward.
During the period this designation system was in use, the Emperor in question was Hirohito
, the Showa Emperor, thus the years of Showa were those used, which began in 1926.
Thus, the Mitsubishi Zero was designed to meet the 1937 specification called 12-shi carrier fighter.
. Added to this was a brief description of the aircraft's function. The Mitsubishi Zero was so-called because entered service in 1940 which was the Japanese year 2600, thus it was designated Type 0 Carrier Fighter.
Model numbers were added to show subtypes. By the late 1930s these were two digits, the first being airframe revisions, the second engine revisions.
The system was abandoned in 1943, when it was decided that it gave away too much information about the aircraft.
's 1922–64 system
. This scheme used a letter or two letters to designate a type of aircraft, a number to indicate the number in series of that type of aircraft, and finally a letter to designate the manufacturer. Unlike the US Navy system, the Japanese system did not have a different number series for each manufacturer, and did not omit the number "1".
Thus, the Zero's type in this designation system was A6M, which meant the sixth type of carrier fighter under this designation system, and that it was built by Mitsubishi.
Variants were indicated by an additional number at the end; repurposing an aircraft was indicated by a dash and then the new type letter.
Sometimes two aircraft were ordered from different manufacturers to the same specification at the same time, generally as insurance against the primary design not working out. In this case, the same series number was used for both.
Special cases include kamikaze
aircraft such as Special Attackers Ohka ("Cherry blossom"; designed from the start as such) and Kikka
("Orange blossom"; believed to be considered for this role), aircraft that employed non-conventional (i.e. non-propeller-driven) propulsion scheme like rocket-powered interceptor Shūsui
(poetic term meaning "Sharp Sword"), and aircraft used for non-conventional deployments such as Special Attacker Seiran
("Mountain Haze"; deployed from submarines to strike targets behind the frontline and expected to be ditched upon returning to motherships). Both Ohka and Kikka are named after the fruit trees in the gardens of the Imperial Palace.
) and the Type 2 two-seat fighter (Kawasaki Ki-45
).
Major modifications (such as a different engine) were indicated with a subtype number, officially in kanji but often in Roman numerals
. Small-scale modifications (such as armament) are indicated with a Japanese ordinal (甲,乙,丙), or "kai"(改) if the modification was large but not enough for a new type number.
) were not part of the official designation.

World War II
World War II, or the Second World War , was a global conflict lasting from 1939 to 1945, involving most of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis...
, and these code names are still better known in English-language texts than the real Japanese names for the aircraft. The confusion is not so much that any of the designation schemes are difficult, but that a number of different schemes were simultaneously in use.
Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service
The (IJNAS) used several different aircraft designation systems simultaneously. Between 1931 and 1945, aircraft had Shi numbers designating the specification they were designed to. They also had a long form of Type and Model Number system used between 1920 and 1943, a short designation system akin to that of the United States NavyUnited States Navy
The United States Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The U.S. Navy is the largest in the world; its battle fleet tonnage is greater than that of the next 13 largest navies combined. The U.S...
in use between the late 1920s and 1945, a system of popular names introduced to replace type numbers from 1943 through 1945, and finally an SADP (Service Airplane Designation System) number used from 1939 onward.
Specification Shi numbers
Japanese Navy specifications from 1931 were given an experimental, or Shi number, based on the year of the Emperor's reign the specification was issued in. Since multiple specifications could be issued in a year, the number was disambiguated with the aircraft purpose.During the period this designation system was in use, the Emperor in question was Hirohito
Hirohito
, posthumously in Japan officially called Emperor Shōwa or , was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death in 1989. Although better known outside of Japan by his personal name Hirohito, in Japan he is now referred to...
, the Showa Emperor, thus the years of Showa were those used, which began in 1926.
Thus, the Mitsubishi Zero was designed to meet the 1937 specification called 12-shi carrier fighter.
Long Type and Model Number system
After 1929, aircraft types were given a type number based on the last two digits of the year as counted from the mythical founding of Japan in 660BC by Emperor JimmuEmperor Jimmu
was the first Emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. He is also known as Kamuyamato Iwarebiko and personally as Wakamikenu no Mikoto or Sano no Mikoto....
. Added to this was a brief description of the aircraft's function. The Mitsubishi Zero was so-called because entered service in 1940 which was the Japanese year 2600, thus it was designated Type 0 Carrier Fighter.
Model numbers were added to show subtypes. By the late 1930s these were two digits, the first being airframe revisions, the second engine revisions.
The system was abandoned in 1943, when it was decided that it gave away too much information about the aircraft.
Short system
In the late 1920s a short designation scheme was adopted, which was strikingly similar to the United States NavyUnited States Navy
The United States Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The U.S. Navy is the largest in the world; its battle fleet tonnage is greater than that of the next 13 largest navies combined. The U.S...
's 1922–64 system
1922 United States Navy aircraft designation system
Until 1962, the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps used a system to designate their aircraft that included information about a craft's role and its manufacturer.-The system:...
. This scheme used a letter or two letters to designate a type of aircraft, a number to indicate the number in series of that type of aircraft, and finally a letter to designate the manufacturer. Unlike the US Navy system, the Japanese system did not have a different number series for each manufacturer, and did not omit the number "1".
Thus, the Zero's type in this designation system was A6M, which meant the sixth type of carrier fighter under this designation system, and that it was built by Mitsubishi.
Variants were indicated by an additional number at the end; repurposing an aircraft was indicated by a dash and then the new type letter.
Sometimes two aircraft were ordered from different manufacturers to the same specification at the same time, generally as insurance against the primary design not working out. In this case, the same series number was used for both.

Popular names
After July 1943, names were given to Navy aircraft instead of type designations. These names were given according to a scheme based on the aircraft's role.- Fighters: Weather and meteorological names
- Carrier fighters and seaplane fighters: Wind names usually ending with pu or fu (風)
- Interceptors: Lightning names ending in den (電)
- Night fighters: Light names ending in ko (光)
- Attack planes: Mountains names ending in zan (山)
- Bombers: Star or constellation names usually ending in sei (星)
- Patrol: Sea or ocean names ending in kai (海)
- Reconnaissance: Cloud names ending in un (雲)
- Trainers: Trees, plants and flowers
- Transports: Sky names ending in ku (空)
- Miscellaneous: Landscape names
Special cases include kamikaze

Imperial Japanese Army Air Service
The (IJAAF) used a straightforward system based on year of service and type, nearly identical to the Navy's long type and model number system. This system was used from 1927. The The "Ki" (キ; abbreviation of kitai = airframe) designation was also used and became prominent in later years.Long Type and Model Number system
The first part of the designation was a two-digit type number based on the Japanese year in which the aircraft entered service. A minor exception was the year 1940 (2600), for which the type number 100 rather than zero was used. This was followed by a description of the aircraft's function. If there were two or more aircraft with the same type and function, the latter was enhanced to further differentiate them. An example is the Type 2 single-seat fighter (the Nakajima Ki-44Nakajima Ki-44

).
Major modifications (such as a different engine) were indicated with a subtype number, officially in kanji but often in Roman numerals
Roman numerals
The numeral system of ancient Rome, or Roman numerals, uses combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to signify values. The numbers 1 to 10 can be expressed in Roman numerals as:...
. Small-scale modifications (such as armament) are indicated with a Japanese ordinal (甲,乙,丙), or "kai"(改) if the modification was large but not enough for a new type number.
Short designation ("Ki" number)
The "Ki" airframe designation indicates the project number (written in Arabic numerals), and was assigned in sequence to all projects regardless of manufacturer or type. It was originally used only when the aircraft was under development, but towards the end of the war became the standard designation even for operational aircraft.Popular names
Popular names such as "Hayabusa" (the Nakajima Ki-43Nakajima Ki-43
