Production

The production of armored vehicles was carried out by a number of companies - “Tokyo Gasu Danki” (later - “Tokyo Ji-dosha” and “Hino Dzidosh”), “Ishika-vadzima Dzidosh Seisacusio” (since 1933 was a member of the company “Jidosh Cosio”), concern Mitsubishi, which became the leading manufacturer of armored vehicles (for 1931–1945, produced 3,850 tanks out of a total of 6,600), Kobe Seikosho, Niigata Tekko-sho, as well as arsenals in Nagoya, Osa-ke, Sagami, Kokura.
