In the last WWII, Japan was developping several kinds of SP gun tanks. Ho-Ri mounted a 105 mm cannon on the chassis of Type 5 Medium Tank. There were two plans on Ho-Ri, Ho-Ri I loaded an engine in the center of the chassis and Ho-Ri II loaded an engine in the stern. German hunting tank Elephant and Jagdtiger would influence their design.
The 105 mm cannon for Ho-Ri had been developed, but the chassis of Ho-Ri had not been completed until the WWII ended.
