The mechanisation of Japan’s armed forces proceeded at an extremely slow pace during the war. Lacking the resources to develop dedicated self-propelled artillery, they instead turned to expedient adaptations of existing designs.
The first model produced was the Type 1 Ho-Ni mounting the 75mm Type 90 gun in an open fighting compartment (similar to a German Marder) on a Chi-Ha chassis.
