-In 1959, Japan decided to domestically produce the F-104 as a successor to the aging F-86 Saber.
-This is F-104J, and the first Japanese version of Starfighter is assembled based on F-104G parts.
-Subsequently, 29 aircraft were knocked down with parts supplied by Lockheed and made their first flight on May 8, 1962, after which they were produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
-Separately, two-seater training aircraft F-104DJ was imported from the United States 20 aircraft.
