Background
... In December 1937 the Imperial Japanese Army
Air Force issued a requirement for a two-seat, twin engine heavy fighter. A
design team headed by Tako Doi went to work and came up with an aircraft not
dissimilar to the Messerschmitt Bf 110, the Kawasaki Ki-15 Toryu. The word
Toryu stands for "Dragon Killer", which was the purpose of these aircraft who's
specific design was to be a superior night fighter for home defense against US
bombers.
