Chi-Ho was intended for the successor to Chi-Ha. It mounted a 47mm gun and had a MG mount at the front turret. Two prototypes were built by Mitsubishi and Jidosha Kogyo in 1940 and two more were built by Kokura and Sagami Arsenals in 1941. However, Chi-He became successor to Chi-Ha and Chi-Ho ended with trial.
