――The set fighter Hayabusa played an active part as the main fighter of the Japanese Army in World War II.

――The first type equipped with Ha 25 in the engine is called type I, equipped with two 7.7mm machine guns.
--After that, the armament was strengthened to one 7.7mm machine gun and one 12.7mm machine gun.
