- The Type 1 Gun Tank is a self-propelled gun equipped with a powerful 75mm field gun on the chassis of the Japanese Type 97 medium tank.
- The main gun can penetrate up to 85mm of armor at a distance of 1,000m.
- The fighting compartment was open-top, but had 50mm thick armor on the front.
- Approximately 140 vehicles were produced between 1943 and the end of the war and deployed to the mobile artillery regiments of the tank divisions.
- After safely arriving in the Philippines, the four tanks belonging to the 2nd Tank Division fought against the American forces that landed on Luzon Island in January 1945. They fought tenaciously, using clever camouflage and ambushing enemy M4 Sherman tanks by moving from one firing position to another.
