Shozo Kawasaki was born on August 10th, 1837 in Kagoshima, the city that our recent Naval Event is dedicated to. He was a businessman who worked closely with the Japanese government to establish trade with the Nansei Islands. After being on two ships that were shipwrecked, Kawasaki decided to modernize Japanese ships. He asked for help from fellow countryman Masayoshi Matsukata, who was then the Minster of Finance, and opened a shipyard in 1878. In 1896, the Kawasaki Company was established, and Matsukata’s son (then the Prime Minster of Japan) became its first director. In the 20th century, the company expanded its product range to include trains, cars, motorcycles and aircraft.

About this aircraft

• The Ki-96 is a heavy, twin-engine fighter developed by Kawasaki as an improvement on the popular Ki-45. It is an excellent interceptor, armed with one 37 mm and two 20 mm cannons. Thanks to its excellent performance, it’s also capable of giving other fighters hell in a flyby!
